In Vitro Model of the Cystic Fibrosis Bronchial Epithelium Via iPS Technology

Completed
Conditions
Cystic Fibrosis
Registration Number
NCT03754088
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Montpellier
Brief Summary

In order to further enable physiopathology studies, the aim of this project is to validate an in vitro model of cystic fibrosis created using induced pluripotent stemcell (iPS) differentiated bronchial epithelium from cystic fibrosis (CF) patients homozygous for the p.Phe508del mutation of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene.

Detailed Description

The investigator's primary objective is to generate iPS lines from 3 CF patients and from 3 healthy subjects.

Secondary objectives include verification that cell lines express the CFTR gene according to their genotype, verification or relative production of the CFTR protein for each iPS line, and amplification of obtain iPS lines for aliquot creation to facilitate sharing.
