Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy (ACM) is an inherited cardiac disease characterized by arrhythmias and fibro-fatty replacement in the ventricular myocardium. Causative mutations are mainly reported in desmosomal genes, especially in plakophilin2 (PKP2). Here, using a virus-free reprogramming approach, we generated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from skin fibroblasts of one ACM patient carrying the frameshift heterozygous PKP2 mutation c.2569_3018del50. The iPSC line (EURACi004-A) showed the typical morphology of pluripotent cells, possessed normal karyotype and exhibited pluripotency markers and trilineage differentiation potential, including cardiomyogenic capability. Thus, this line can represent a human in vitro model to study the molecular basis of ACM.

Abstract

Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy (ACM) is an inherited cardiac disease characterized by arrhythmias and fibro-fatty replacement in the ventricular myocardium. Causative mutations are mainly reported in desmosomal genes, especially in plakophilin2 (PKP2). Here, using a virus-free reprogramming approach, we generated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from skin fibroblasts of one ACM patient carrying the frameshift heterozygous PKP2 mutation c.2569_3018del50. The iPSC line (EURACi004-A) showed the typical morphology of pluripotent cells, possessed normal karyotype and exhibited pluripotency markers and trilineage differentiation potential, including cardiomyogenic capability. Thus, this line can represent a human in vitro model to study the molecular basis of ACM.
