Enriching iPSC research diversity: Harnessing human biobank collections for improved ethnic representation
Biobanks of human biosamples and cell lines are indispensable for biomedical research on human health and disease and for drug development projects. Many human cell line biobanks worldwide hold collections of lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs), representing thousands of affected and control donors from diverse ethnic/ancestry groups. In recent years, induced human pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and differentiated human cells derived from these iPSCs have become indispensable for applied biomedical research. Establishing iPSCs remains a laborious and costly step towards generating differentiated human cells. To address this research need, several non-profit and commercial biobanks have established iPSC collections for distribution to researchers, thereby serving as a resource for generating differentiated human cells. The most common starting materials for generation of iPSCs are a skin biopsy for harvesting fibroblasts, or a blood sample for collection of peripheral blood mononuclear cells. However untapped resources include the large established collections of biobanked human LCLs which can be reprogrammed to iPSCs using a variety of published protocols including the use of non-integrating episomal vectors. Many biobanks curate LCLs from diverse ethnic/ancestry populations, an aspect largely absent in most established iPSC biobanks which tend to primarily reflect populations from developed countries. Here, we call upon researchers across the breadth of iPSC research to tap the unique resource of existing and diverse human LCL collections for establishing biobanked iPSC panels that better represent the varied human ethnic (and hence genomic) diversity, thereby benefiting precision medicine and drug development research on a global scale.
期刊介绍:
Drug Development Research focuses on research topics related to the discovery and development of new therapeutic entities. The journal publishes original research articles on medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, biotechnology and biopharmaceuticals, toxicology, and drug delivery, formulation, and pharmacokinetics. The journal welcomes manuscripts on new compounds and technologies in all areas focused on human therapeutics, as well as global management, health care policy, and regulatory issues involving the drug discovery and development process. In addition to full-length articles, Drug Development Research publishes Brief Reports on important and timely new research findings, as well as in-depth review articles. The journal also features periodic special thematic issues devoted to specific compound classes, new technologies, and broad aspects of drug discovery and development.
