Generation of two hiPSC lines, (DMBi003-A and DMBi004-A), by reprogramming peripheral blood mononuclear cells and fibroblast-like synoviocytes from rheumatoid arthritis patients

| Summary: | Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease that primarily affects joints but should be considered as a syndrome that also includes extra-articular manifestations and comorbidities. Human-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) and their differentiated derivatives may be of special interest in the investigation of complex pathophysiology of RA. In this study, we demonstrate and compare the generation of hiPSC from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) from RA patients. Application of three-dimensional cardiac microtissues constructed from RA specific iPSC-derivatives may be a useful approach to investigate RA comorbidities and cardiac protection or toxicity of anti-rheumatic drugs. |
