Title in Portuguese
Estabelecimento de linhagens de células-tronco de pluripotência induzida (hiPSCs) de indivíduos com Transtorno Depressivo Maior.
Keywords in Portuguese
Células mononucleares
hiPSCs
Modelo in vitro
Neurônio serotonérgico
Transtorno Depressivo Maior
Abstract in Portuguese
O Transtorno Depressivo Maior (TDM) é uma condição psiquiátrica que afeta 4,4% da população mundial, exibindo um substancial sofrimento pessoal, incapacidade e custos sociais, e estima-se que ele será a principal causa de incapacidade no mundo em 2030. O surgimento de novas ferramentas e modelos de pesquisa envolvendo o TDM irá auxiliar no entendimento desta doença. Deste modo, o objetivo deste trabalho foi gerar uma coleção de células-tronco pluripotentes induzidas humanas (hiPSCs) de um grupo de indivíduos com TDM. Foram coletadas amostras de células mononucleares (MNCs) de 66 indivíduos afetados, e geradas 6 linhagens de hiPSCs. Através de diversos testes de caracterização, a pluripotência destas células foi confirmada. Além disto, também foi padronizada a diferenciação destas hiPSCs em neurônios serotonérgicos. Neurônios derivados dessas hiPSCs poderão constituir material de estudo para outros grupos de pesquisa interessados no estudo da TDM, e ser utilizados em testes futuros para prever resposta a medicamentos.

Abstract in English
Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a psychiatric condition that affects 4.4% of the world's population, exhibiting substantial personal suffering, disability and social costs, and is estimated to be the leading cause of disability in the world by 2030. Emergence of new tools and research models involving TDM will aid in the understanding of this disease. Thus, the objective of this work was to generate a collection of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) from a group of individuals with MDD. Samples of mononuclear cells (MNCs) of 66 affected individuals were collected, and 6 lines of hiPSCs were generated. Through several characterization tests, the pluripotency of these cells was confirmed. In addition, the differentiation of these hiPSCs into serotonergic neurons was also standardized. Neurons derived from these hiPSCs could constitute study material for other research groups interested in the study of MDD, and be used in future tests to predict drug response.
