Abstract
Hereditary transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy is cardiac involvement in systemic transthyretin amyloidosis. For the first time, we generated induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line of hATTR-CM carrying the TTR mutation p.Asp38Asn. We isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells from the patient's peripheral blood. The reprogramming of PBMCs achieved a pluripotent state by the transfection of non-integrated episomal vectors. We demonstrated pluripotency with the presence of cell surface markers, the expression of pluripotency-related genes and the ability to form teratoma composed of three germ layers in vivo. This iPSC line is a useful model for studying the pathogenic mechanism of TTR p.Asp38Asn mutation.
