Title:Organoid-based lncRNA discovery platform for Alzheimer's Disease.
Date of Request:11/14/2023
Status:approved
ID:DIAN-D2325
Aim 1:Generate assembloid cultures (assembled organoids) from familial and sporadic Alzheimer's Disease induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines, as well as their Crispr-Cas9 generated isogenic controls.
Aim 2:Extract cell-type specific long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) repertoires by using a combination of lineage purification, deep RNA sequencing and ATAC sequencing.
Aim 3:Annotate novel lncRNA and identify transcripts that are dysregulated in patient vs control cells.
Aim 4Use bulk and single-cell transcriptomes from the DIAN cohorts to validate newly identified lncRNA that may be associated with the disease.
