Generation of a human induced pluripotent stem cell line (UMGACBi001-A) from urine cells of a chronic kidney disease patient with hypertension, diabetic nephropathy and acute sepsis

Chronic kidney disease is a major public health burden associated with a drastically reduced quality of living and life span that lacks suitable, individualized therapeutic strategies. Here we present a human induced pluripotent stem cell line (iPSC, UMGACBi001-A) reprogrammed from urine cells of an acute septic dialysis patient suffering from chronic kidney disease using non-integrating administration of RNAs. The generated iPSCs were positively characterized for typical morphology, pluripotency marker expression, directed differentiation potential, non-contamination, chromosomal consistency and donor identity. This iPSC-line can be a useful source for in vitro disease modelling and individualized therapeutic approaches.
