HighQC™ Human IPSC From Fibroblast (Niemann-Pick Disease Type A) supports sphingolipid metabolism and SMPD1-related lysosomal storage disorder modeling.
HighQC™ Human IPSCs From Fibroblasts (Niemann-Pick Disease, Type A Sphingomyelin Phosphodiesterase 1, Acid Lysosomal) are generated from human skin fibroblasts obtained from an individual affected by Niemann-Pick disease type A, a heritable lysosomal storage disorder caused by deficiency of acid sphingomyelinase encoded by the Sphingomyelin Phosphodiesterase 1 gene. These cells display tight colony boundaries, high nuclear-to-cytoplasmic ratios, and clonal growth patterns. Reprogramming was performed using a non-integrating approach, which transiently expresses key human transcription factors to initiate the reprogramming process. These iPSCs exhibit pluripotency, with the ability to differentiate into all three germ layers under defined conditions, and express the pluripotency marker SSEA-4. The cells undergo rigorous screening and isolation procedures, and are rigorously tested to ensure they are free of contamination from HIV-1, HBV, HCV, Syphilis, Mycoplasma, Fungi, Yeast, and Bacteria.

HighQC™ Human IPSCs From Fibroblasts (Niemann-Pick Disease, Type A Sphingomyelin Phosphodiesterase 1, Acid Lysosomal), also known as Niemann-Pick Type A iPSCs, provide a robust platform for investigating lysosomal dysfunction and sphingolipid metabolism in a disease-relevant context. With strong pluripotency and developmental potential, these iPSCs can be directed to differentiate into multiple cell types implicated in Niemann-Pick disease type A pathology, including neurons, hepatocytes, and macrophage-like cells, supporting studies of tissue-specific vulnerability and cellular lipid accumulation.

Both Type A and Type B Niemann-Pick Disease are lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) caused by mutations in the SMPD1 gene, resulting in a deficiency in acid sphingomyelinase (ASM) function. This deficiency leads to the abnormal accumulation of sphingomyelin in lysosomes.
Type B: Caused by SMPD1 mutations, but it presents a partial deficiency of the enzyme. The disease primarily affects the non-CNS tissues, and patients generally experience a slower progression compared to Type A. Type B is suitable for studying lipid storage and metabolic disorders, but the Type A model remains preferred for studying classical LSD mechanisms.
Type A: Also caused by mutations in the SMPD1 gene resulting in a severe deficiency of acid sphingomyelinase. Patients typically experience early onset, rapid progression, and severe central nervous system (CNS) involvement, with significant sphingomyelin accumulation in various cell types. This aligns with the clinical and cytological features of classic lysosomal storage disorders. If your research focuses on studying the pathological mechanisms of LSDs or drug screening, the Type A iPSC model is recommended.
