研究実績の概要 |
1. Establishment of iPSCs: 1) Lymphocytes were collected from both patients and healthy individuals within the same family lineage. 2) After culturing, iPS cells were established using Sendai virus vectors containing Yamanka induction factors. 2. Differentiation into photoreceptor-like cells: 1. iPSCs were cultured in a feederless system and transfected with CRX and NEUROD1 genes using a piggyBac vector. 2) Stable iPSC clones were selected and confirmed for gene expression using PCR and RT-qPCR. 3) These cells were then induced to differentiate into photoreceptor-like cells by adding doxycycline to activate gene expression. 4) The markers of photoreceptor cells were analyzed, demonstrating successful differentiation and potential applications in vision-related research and therapies.

1. Functional Characterization in Transfected Cells (COS-7 and HEK293T): 1)Transfect COS-7 and HEK293T cells. 2) Perform WB to assess expression levels of the mutated gene. 3) Conduct immunofluorescence assays to examine intracellular localization of the mutated protein. 2. Mutation Effects on Protein Interaction: 1) Investigate the impact of the mutation on protein-protein interactions. 2) Utilize WB and immunoprecipitation techniques to evaluate changes in protein interactions caused by the mutation. 3. Conduct RNA sequencing analysis on iPRCs. 1) Analyze gene expression patterns to understand the effects of the mutation on cellular processes. 2) Validate changes observed in RNA sequencing through RT-qPCR and WB analysis.
