ioGABAergic Neurons APP V717I/V717I are opti-ox deterministically programmed GABAergic neurons carrying a genetically engineered homozygous V7171 (London) mutation in the APP gene encoding the amyloid precursor protein. This mutation is linked to familial early-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD).
These cells offer a functional, rapidly maturing, and disease relevant system to study the role of the APP V717I (London) mutation in early-onset AD, alongside a genetically matched wild-type control.
Two clones are available, all genetically matched to the wild type control (ioGABAergic Neurons). The disease model cells and the wild-type control offer a physiologically relevant model to investigate the impact of the APP V717I mutation on cellular and molecular mechanisms and function in early-onset AD.
Confidently investigate your phenotype of interest across multiple clones with our disease model clone panel. Detailed characterisation data (below) and bulk RNA sequencing data (upon request) help you select specific clones if required.
per vial
A maximum number of 20 vials applies. If you would like to order more than 20 vials, please contact us at orders@ӣƵ.
Make True Comparisons
Pair the ioDisease Model Cells with the genetically matched wild-type ioGABAergic Neurons to directly investigate the effect of the mutant APP protein on early-onset AD.
Highly pure
>99% of cells express key GABAergic markers within 4 days post-thaw, allowing consistent and reproducible results from every vial.
Co-culture compatible
Suitable for co-culture and tri-culture studies with ioGlutamatergic Neurons and astrocytes.
Increased ratio of A𝛽42:40 seen in ioGABAergic Neurons APP V717I (London), as observed in Alzheimer’s disease
ioGABAergic Neurons APP V717I/V717I disease model (HOM) cells show a trend of increased production of A𝛽38 peptides and A𝛽42 (involved in the amyloidogenic pathway), with minimal difference seen for A𝛽40 (A). This results in a significantly increased ratio of A𝛽42:40 and no change in the A𝛽42:38 ratio (B).
ioGABAergic neurons (WT, CL54, CL65, CL59, CL70) were seeded at 150,000 cells/cm2 in 24 well plates and cultured for 30 days according to the user manual.
Supernatant was collected at days 10, 20, and 30 to quantify levels of A𝛽38, A𝛽40, A𝛽42 peptides using the V-PLEX Aβ Peptide Panel ELISA kit (MSD K15200E-1).
Concentrations of A𝛽38, A𝛽40, A𝛽42 were normalised to the calculated total number of cells per well.
Data were obtained from two independent experiments and are shown as mean ± SEM. Data were analysed statistically (at days 20 and 30) using one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post-hoc analysis. * p<0.05 ** p<0.01 ***p<0.001 **** p<0.0001
Disease model cells express key GABAergic neuron-specific markers comparably to the isogenic control
Immunofluorescent staining on day 12 post-revival demonstrates similar homogenous expression of the pan-neuronal marker, MAP2 and GABAergic neuron-specific marker, GABA in both disease model clones compared to the wild-type (WT) isogenic control. 100X magnification.
Disease model cells form structural neuronal networks by day 12
Both disease model clones mature rapidly and form structural neuronal networks over 12 days, with neurons identified by day 3 and visible neuronal networks being observed by day 10 post-thaw, similarly to the WT isogenic control. Day 1 to 12 post thawing; 100X magnification.
Disease model cells demonstrate gene expression of neuronal and GABAergic-specific markers following deterministic programming
Gene expression analysis demonstrates that both disease model clones and the WT isogenic control lack the expression of pluripotency markers (NANOG and OCT4) at day 12 post-thaw, whilst robustly expressing pan-neuronal (TUBB3) and GABAergic-specific markers, GAD1, GAD2, VGAT, DLX1, and DLX2. Gene expression levels were assessed by RT-qPCR (data expressed relative to the parental hiPSC control (iPSC Control), normalised to GAPDH). Data represents day 12 post-revival samples.
ioGABAergic Neurons APP V717I/V717I are delivered in a cryopreserved format and are programmed to rapidly mature upon revival in the recommended media. The protocol for the generation of these cells is a two-phase process: Induction, which is carried out at ӣƵ, Stabilisation for 3 days (Phase 1), and Maintenance (Phase 2) during which the ioGABAergic Neurons mature. Phases 1 and 2 after revival of cells are carried out at the customer site.
