Generation of an induced pluripotent stem cell lines NSHDMUi001-A from patients with type 2 diabetes

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is common in China, and its aetiology and pathogenesis are still unclear. We reprogrammed pEP4EO2SEN2K and pEP4EO2SET2K, pCEP4-M2L was electrotransfected in T2DM patients with pEP4EO2SEN2K, and pCEP4-M2L was electrotransfected in T2DM patients expressing the OCT4, SOX2, NANOG, LIN28, c-MYC, KLF4, and SV40LT transcription factors to obtain induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). The obtained iPSCs have been verified to have pluripotency, normal karyotype and differentiation potential; therefore, these cells can be used in the study of disease pathophysiology and drug development to create new therapeutic targets for T2DM and associated central nervous system damage.
