ioGlutamatergic Neurons
MAPT N279K/
N279K

Human iPSC-derived FTD disease model

A rapidly maturing, consistent and scalable system to study frontotemporal dementia (FTD).

ioGlutamatergic Neurons MAPT N279K/N279K are opti-ox deterministicly programmed glutamatergic neurons carrying a genetically engineered homozygous N279K mutation in the MAPT gene encoding the microtubule-associated protein tau.

Benchtop benefits

phenotype_0

Disease related phenotype

High content ICC image analysis shows hyperphosphorylation of tau compared to the wild-type control.

comparison_0

Make True Comparisons

Pair the ioDisease Model Cells with the genetically matched wild-type ioGlutamatergic Neurons to directly investigate the impact of mutant tau protein on disease.

quick_0

Quick

The disease model cells and genetically matched control are experiment ready as early as 2 days post revival, and form structural neuronal networks at 11 days.

Technical data

Disease-related phenotype

Hyperphosphorylation of tau observed in the disease model cells compared to the wild type control

Hyperphosphorylation of tau in glutamatergic neurons FTD disease model cells carrying MAPT P301S or N279K mutation

ioGlutamatergic Neurons disease model cells carrying MAPT P301S/P301S, MAPT N279K/WT and MAPT N279K/N279K mutations show hyperphosphorylation when compared to the wild type control ioGlutamatergic Neurons (WT) at day 21. The bar graphs show total Tau, pTau217/total Tau, pTau202/5/total Tau or pTau404/total Tau in cell bodies, analysed by immunocytochemistry. Statistical analyses performed on 5 cellular replicates in the same plate. Bars showing mean, error bars showing standard deviation. Statistics calculated by one way ANOVA and Tukey posthoc analysis.

ioGlutamatergic Neurons MAPT N279K/N279K key neuronal marker gene expression analysis by RT-qPCR

Gene expression analysis demonstrates that ioGlutamatergic Neurons MAPT N279K/N279K and wild-type ioGlutamatergic Neurons (WT Control) lack the expression of pluripotency markers (NANOG and OCT4) at day 11, whilst robustly expressing pan-neuronal (TUBB3 and SYP) and glutamatergic-specific (VGLUT1 and VGLUT2) markers, as well as the glutamate receptor GRIA4. Gene expression levels were assessed by RT-qPCR. Data is shown relative to the parental human iPSC control (hiPSC), normalised to HMBS. Data represents day 11 post-revival samples; n=2 biological replicates.

RT-qPCR analysis demonstrates a similar expression level of the MAPT gene in both wild type ioGlutamatergic Neurons (WT Control) and ioGlutamatergic Neurons MAPT N279K/N279K at day 11 post-revival (n=2 replicates). cDNA samples of the parental human iPSC line (hiPSC) were included as a reference.

Cells arrive ready to plate

ioGlutamatergic Neurons MAPT N279K/N279K arrive ready to plate

ioGlutamatergic Neurons MAPT N279K/N279K are delivered in a cryopreserved format and are programmed to mature rapidly upon revival in the recommended media. The protocol for the generation of these cells is a two-phase process: Phase 1, Stabilisation for 4 days; Phase 2, Maintenance, during which the neurons mature. Phases 1 and 2 after revival of cells are carried out by the customer.

Industry leading seeding density

Do more with every vial

ioGlutamatergic_Neurons_seeding_density_small_96_384

The recommended minimum seeding density is 30,000 cells/cm2, compared to up to 250,000 cells/cm2 for other similar products on the market. One small vial can plate a minimum of 0.7 x 24-well plate, 1 x 96-well plate, or 1.5 x 384-well plates.  This means every vial goes further, enabling more experimental conditions and more repeats, resulting in more confidence in the data.

Product use

ioCells are for research use only

*ioGlutamatergic Neurons MAPT N279K/N279K disease model cells can be used with the parental wild type ioGlutamatergic Neurons (io1001) as a control. The two products are genetically matched except for a ~850Kb amplification on 20q11.21 in the disease model cells, identified by Optical Genome Mapping.
