iCell DopaNeurons PD LRRK2 G2019S, 11299 and Isogenic Control

Gain insights into familial and sporadic Parkinson’s disease with iCell® DopaNeurons PD LRRK2 G2019S, innate models harboring a pathogenic LRRK2 variant.

  • Consistent culture Derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), iCell DopaNeurons provide a pure, reproducible system.
  • Clinical relevance This donor-derived line reflects key Parkinson’s features, including elevated alpha-synuclein (α-syn) accumulation.
  • Isogenic controls The G2019S/G mutation-corrected cell line enables robust investigation of the consequences of LRRK2 mutation.
  • Native characteristics iCell DopaNeurons faithfully reflect primary human dopaminergic neuron morphology and function.
  • Simple implementation Arriving fully differentiated, iCell DopaNeurons are ready to thaw and use, supporting scalable research.

Product Overview

Mutations in leucine-rich repeat kinase-2 (LRRK2) is an associated risk factor for both familial and sporadic Parkinson’s disease (PD). The LRRK2 kinase is expressed in the brain and is thought to be involved in vesicular trafficking, neurite outgrowth, and protein degradation. The LRRK2 G2019S mutation, the predominant variant associated with PD, is within the kinase domain resulting in elevated kinase activity. 

iCell® DopaNeurons PD LRRK2 were derived from induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells from the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI). Sponsored by The Michael J. Fox Foundation, PPMI partnered with FUJIFILM Cellular Dynamics (FCDI) to produce a large bank of Parkinson’s donor-derived iPS cells, including lines harboring Parkinson’s-associated genetic mutations, such as LRRK2 G2019S. Each cell line is supported by PPMI donor clinical, imaging, genomics, and biological data. (www.ppmi-info.org)

To enable investigation of the functional consequences of the mutation within this patient-derived line, we used genetic engineering to generate a G2019S/G mutation-corrected isogenic cell line from the same donor.

iCell DopaNeurons lines are differentiated into human midbrain floorplate dopaminergic (DA) neurons according to protocols licensed and adapted from the Lorenz Studer lab (Memorial Sloan Kettering) and industrialized at FCDI. 

Benefits of iCell DopaNeurons PD LRRK2 G2019S and isogenic LRRK2 G2019S/G cell lines:

  • Fully differentiated, >80% pure midbrain DA neurons derived from LRRK2 G2019s donor iPS cells
  • Express midbrain dopaminergic neuron markers (e.g., Lmx1, FoxA2, and TH)
  • Isogenic control LRRK2 G2019S/G mutation-corrected cell line is available.
  • iCell DopaNeurons PD LRRK2 G2019S exhibit:
  • Altered dopamine metabolism
  • Elevated alpha-synuclein protein accumulation
  • Increased neuronal degeneration compared to the apparently healthy normal control iCell DopaNeurons
  • Reduced GCase activity
  • Accessible and consistent model for discovery and toxicology research of Parkinson’s disease
  • View all Parkinson’s Disease iCell DopaNeurons cell lines
