Lentiviral Transduction of Neural Progenitor Cells for Epigenetic Regulation of Alpha-Synuclein Expression
Source: Tagliafierro, L., et al. Lentiviral Vector Platform for the Efficient Delivery of Epigenome-editing Tools into Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell-derived Disease Models. J. Vis. Exp. (2019)This video demonstrates the lentiviral transduction of neural progenitor cells (NPCs) for targeted epigenetic modification of alpha-synuclein, a key protein in Parkinson’s disease. The protocol enables methyltransferase-mediated DNA methylation, reducing SNCA expression for studying gene regulation and potential therapeutic interventions.
