iCell DopaNeurons PD SNCA A53T HZ, 01279

Power your Parkinson’s research with iCell® DopaNeurons PD SNCA A53T HZ, dopaminergic neurons with a disease-associated A53T mutation in the SNCA gene.

  • Consistent quality iCell DopaNeurons are highly pure populations of >80% tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)-positive dopaminergic neurons.
  • Biological relevance The SNCA A53T mutation renders alpha-synuclein (α-syn) more susceptible to aggregation and accumulation.
  • Isogenic controls Healthy isogenic controls enable robust investigation of the consequences of the engineered SNCA A53T mutation.
  • Regional specification Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) undergo differentiation to form midbrain floorplate dopaminergic neurons.
  • Rapid reproducibility Functionally active within 14 days of plating, iCell DopaNeurons fuel efficient, reliable, and scalable research.

Product Overview

SNCA A53T is one of the most highly penetrant and widely studied mutations linked to Parkinson’s disease (PD). SNCA encodes for the alpha-synuclein (α-syn) protein, which is predominantly expressed in the brain at presynaptic terminals. The A53T mutation renders α-syn more susceptible to aggregation and accumulation, which are hallmark indicators of PD pathology.

To generate a heterozygous (HZ) A53T allelic variant isogenic to iCell® DopaNeurons, nuclease-mediated SNP alteration of a healthy control iPS cell line was performed to introduce this site-specific mutation into the gene for SNCA. This genome-engineered iPS cell was then 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 CDI, to produce iCell DopaNeurons SNCA A53T HZ. Please also see the isogenic iCell DopaNeurons.

Performance Data

Comparison to Isogenic iCell DopaNeurons

qPCR analysis reveals decreased TH and DDC and increased COMT expression in A53T dopaminergic neurons suggesting that biosynthetic levels of DA in the SNCA A53T neurons should be decreased.

Comparison to Isogenic iCell DopaNeurons

Immunofluorescence staining shows detectable levels of alpha-synuclein in the control cells and more in the SNCA A53T DA neurons (data not quantified).

Comparison to Isogenic iCell DopaNeurons

 Bioenergetic analysis of WT versus A53T cells indicates that the response to FCCP and the max respiratory capacity is greater in the mutant line. Data are normalized based on cell number.

Comparison to Isogenic iCell DopaNeurons

Both iCell DopaNeurons and iCell DopaNeurons SNCA A53T HZ display high activity and synchronous bursting on MEA; A53T cells have fewer bursts per minute, but the intensity of those bursts are ~5X greater.

Comparison to Isogenic iCell DopaNeurons

iCell SNCA A53T HZ DopaNeurons display spontaneous Ca2+ oscillations earlier in culture (e.g. day 7) with an amplitude and bursting pattern that is significantly different than the WT control.

Product Highlights

Easy to implement

iCell DopaNeurons are shipped cryopreserved with optimized media. Simply thaw and use.

Human cells

iCell DopaNeurons are floor plate-derived dopaminergic neurons from human iPS cells ensuring complete regional specification for full functionality.

Highly pure

iCell DopaNeurons are >80% tyrosine hydroxylase positive (THpos) midbrain dopaminergic neurons, enabling mechanistic studies of neurodegenerative diseases.

Homogenous and reproducible

iCell DopaNeurons are fully differentiated neurons, not precursors, providing biologically relevant and reproducible results.
