| Abstract | Most lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs) are life-threatening genetic diseases. The pathogenesis of these diseases is poorly understood. Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell technology offers new opportunities for both mechanistic studies and development of stem cell– based therapies. Here we report the generation of disease-specific iPS cells from mouse models of Fabry disease, globoid cell leukodystrophy (GLD), and mucopolysaccharidosis VII (MPSVII). These mouse model–derived iPS cells showed defects in disease-specific enzyme activities and significant accumulation of substrates for these enzymes. In the lineage-directed differentiation studies, Fabry-iPS and GLD-iPS cells were efficiently differentiated into disease-relevant cell types, such as cardiomyocytes and neural stem cells, which might be useful in mechanistic and therapeutic studies. Notably, MPSVII-iPS cells demonstrated a markedly impaired ability to form embryoid bodies (EBs) in vitro. MPSVII-EBs exibited elevated levels of hyaluronan and its receptor CD44, and markedly reduced expression levels of E-cadherin and cell-proliferating marker. Partial correction of enzyme deficiency in MSPVII-iPS cells led to improved EB formation and reversal of aberrant protein expression. These data indicate a potential mechanism for the partial lethality of MPSVII mice in utero, and suggest a possible abnormality of embryonic development in MPSVII patients. Thus, our study demonstrates the unique promise of iPS cells for studying the pathogenesis and treatment of LSDs. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
