Problems solved by technology

The clinical symptoms of the two are similar, but the pathogenic mechanism is unclear, and there is no effective drug treatment
One of the reasons is species differences. Due to the different genetic backgrounds of humans and model organisms, drugs that are effective in treating ALS screened in model organisms cannot relieve ALS symptoms clinically, or have severe side effects.
Second, the ALS disease model generated by overexpressing the mutant gene cannot truly reflect the patient's physiological condition
The expression level of the exogenous overexpression mutation pathogenic gene is much higher than the expression level of the single point gene mutation in the patient, thus covering up some key factors of pathogenicity and not really reflecting the pathogenic mechanism. Drugs screened on this basis Can not effectively relieve the clinical symptoms of ALS patients

Abstract

The invention disclsoes a preparation method of an ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) patient specific motor neuron. The method comprises the following steps: (1) reprogramming an in-vitro fibroblast carrying ALS related genic mutation from an ALS patient source to obtain induced pluripotent stem cells carrying the ALS related genic mutation (ALS-iPSC); (2) carrying out gene editing on the ALS-iPSC and specifically eliminating the ALS related genic mutation to obtain gene corrected induced pluripotent stem cells (cALS-iPSC); (3) carrying out orient induction and differentiation on the cALS-iPSC and the ALS-iPSC respectively to obtain the ALS patient specific motor neuron carrying the ALS related genic mutation or without the ALS related genic mutation. The specific motor neuron carrying ALS pathogenic gene mutation, obtained by the preparation method, can be used as an effective platform for carrying out efficient and high-throughput individualized drug screening; the ALS patient specific motor neuron without the ALS related genic mutation is hopefully used for treating and preventing ALS. The preparation method of the ALS patient specific motor neuron lays the foundation for ALS disease researches, disease model development, disease pathogenesis researches and disease treatment.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, in particular to a method for preparing specific motoneurons of ALS patients. Background technique [0002] Human amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease, the main pathological feature is motor neuron degeneration, leading to muscle atrophy, paralysis, and even affecting the respiratory system, endangering the patient's life . The onset of ALS is rapid, and most patients die after 3-5 years of onset. ALS is divided into two types, sporadic ALS (SALS) and familial ALS (FALS). The clinical symptoms of the two are similar, but the pathogenic mechanism is unclear, and there is no effective drug treatment. The etiology of SALS is complex and may be due to the combined effects of environmental and genetic factors. Studies have found that FALS is generally caused by heterozygous mutations in a certain gene, such as SOD1, FUS, C9ORF72, TARDBP, etc. SOD1 gene mutation is the fi...
