The patient-derived iPSC lines provide valuable resources as these cells can be utilized to generate human cell types relevant to the disease of interest. In this context, human iPSC-based model systems are particularly useful for neurological diseases as the neuron and glial cell types affected by such diseases are difficult to obtain. Multiple sclerosis is a demyelinating central nervous system disease characterized by inflammation and eventually axonal damage. iPS cells generated from MS patients may allow for unique approaches for studying the disease in a species-specific manner, with a potentially limitless supply of patients’ own glial and neuronal cells differentiated from the iPSCs. Here we describe the detailed protocol for establishing iPSCs from peripheral blood mononuclear cells that we have utilized to model multiple sclerosis. We particularly focused on optimized and cost-effective procedures using the integration-free Sendai virus-based reprogramming method for the generation and characterization of MS iPSCs.

Role of Vibrational Spectroscopy in Stem Cell Research
Aksoy, Ceren; Severcan, Feride (2012-01-01)
Recent researches have mainly displayed the significant role of stem cells in tissue renewal and homeostasis with their unique capacity to develop different cell types. These findings have clarified the importance of stem cells to improve the effectiveness of any cell therapy for regenerative medicine. Identification of purity and differentiation stages of stem cells are the greatest challenges of stem cell biology and regenerative medicine. The existing methods to carefully monitor and characterize the ste...
Generation and Characterization of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Lines From Multiple Sclerosis Patients and Healthy Individuals
Begentaş, Onur Can; Kiriş, Erkan; Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics (2021-9-8)
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation, demyelination, and axonal damage resulting in neurodegeneration in the central nervous system (CNS). Relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) is the most common form of the disease known to affect more than 2 million individuals globally, and the prevalence of the disease is increasing worldwide. As a chronic condition without a cure, RRMS manifests in a relapsing-remitting form with sporadic attacks suddenly appearing, causing neurologica...
Identification of protein partners of setd3 in mouse embryonic stem cells
Güven, Gözde; Terzi Çizmecioğlu, Nihal; Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics (2021-1-26)
Embryonic development is a highly coordinated process that contains rapid cell divisions. During this time, the cells also start differentiation, and at the end of development, the cells become fully differentiated. This differentiation commitment is regulated by epigenetic factors like histone modifiers, chromatin regulators. SETD3 is one of the histone methyltransferases that govern this pluripotency-differentiation balance. We have previously found that SETD3 is crucial for mesendoderm differentiation of...
Development of sandwich type nucleic acid array platform for the detection of micrornas in breast cancer
Atılgan, Seren; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni; Department of Biology (2014)
MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that are involved in important regulatory pathways such as differentiation, development, metabolism, cell proliferation, and cell death. Several recent research show that deregulated expression of miRNAs has crucial roles in disease pathologies, mainly in cancer. Therefore, it is likely that the usage of miRNAs as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers in patients and the development of various techniques for the detection of microRNA in clinical research will become widesp...
Capture of rare circulating tumor cells from blood on bio-activated oxide surface inside microfluidic channels
Ateş, Hatice Ceren; Külah, Haluk; Özgür, Ebru; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2018)
Isolation and characterization of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) have important clinical significance in terms of prognosis and early detection of response to treatment. Moreover, downstream characterization of CTCs may help better patient stratification and therapy guidance. However, CTCs are extremely rare (~10 CTCs/1010 peripheral blood cells) and highly sensitive, and specific technology is required for their isolation. Rapidly developing microfluidic technologies offer variety of advantages in rare cel...
