Abstract

Skin fibroblasts obtained from a 27-year-old man with clinically manifested and genetically proven (F508del/F508del) cystic fibrosis were successfully transformed into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) by using Sendai virus-based reprogramming vectors including the four Yamanaka factors, OCT3/4, SOX2, KLF4, and c-MYC. The iPSCs showed a normal karyotype, expressed pluripotency markers and exhibited the potential to differentiate into three germ layers in spontaneous differentiation assay. This iPSC line may be subsequently used for development of a personalized etiotropic treatment including genome editing, and for disease modelling and drug screening.
