Generation of induced pluripotent stem cell line (XDCMHi001-A) from an Ankylosing spondylitis patient with JAK2 mutation.

Heredity is the major factor contributing to the susceptibility to ankylosing spondylitis(AS). Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) has been associated with AS. Urine-derived cells from an AS patient with JAK2 mutation were used to generate induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) with five episomal iPSC reprogramming vectors (pCXLE-hOCT3/4-shp53-F, pCXLE-hSK, pCXLE-hUL, pCXLE-EGFP and pCXWB-EBNA1). The iPSCs were pluripotent and will be valuable for research on the role and mechanism of JAK2 in the pathogenesis of AS.
