Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurological disorder with complex etiologies. In this study, urine cells were collected from a 16-year-old male with ASD and reprogrammed with the human SKOM transcription factors. The patient has a heterozygous C > T mutation of FCGR1B gene that was confirmed by sequencing analysis. The pluripotency was verified by gene expression and capacity of differentiation towards the three germ layers. This kind of iPSC will be valuable for further understanding the pathogenesis of ASD and help to develop drugs for treating ASD.
Resource utility The iPSC line could further differentiate into neural stem cells and neurons, which provide a valuable resource for revealing pathogenic mechanisms in ASD, as well as for investigating novel drugs. Resource details Immune dysfunction is a critical risk factor for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) (Meltzer and Van de Water, 2017). Generally, IgG has been thought to come from mature B lymphocytes. However, research has shown that IgG could be produced and secreted by human neurons (Zhang et al., 2013). Fc fragment of IgG receptor Ib (FCGR1B) may play a pivotal role in humoral immune response (Porges et al., 1992). To generate the GIBHi001-A line, urine cells (UC) were collected from 16-year-old male diagnosed with ASD and tested free of mycoplasma. The urine cells were reprogrammed by using the four Yamanaka factors OCT4, SOX2, KLF4 and c-MYC (Zhou et al., 2012). About 21–25 days after transfection, the iPSC-like clones were picked for expansion and frozen (Fig. 1A). Expression of pluripotency markers were measured by immunostaining using antibodies to NANOG and SSEA4 (Fig. 1B). Real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) results displayed that the endogenous pluripotency genes were at a high
expression in ASD-hiPSC with parental UC and comparable level with human embryonic stem cell (H1) (Fig. 1C). The capacity for differentiation into three germ layers was certified by teratoma formation in vivo, such as cartilage (mesoderm), gut-like epithelium (endoderm) and neural rosette (ectoderm) (Fig. 1D). The cell line showed a normal diploid 46, XY karyotype (Fig. 1E). The FCGR1B mutation was demonstrated in ASD-hiPSC and UC by genomic sequencing (Fig. 1F). This iPSC was negative for mycoplasma test (Supplementary Table 1). Finally, STR analysis also verified the genetic identity of the cell line and the parental urine cells (available with the authors) (Table 1). Materials and methods Cell culture and reprogramming Patient urine cells were obtained by the protocol reported in previous publication (Zhou et al., 2012). The primary urine cells were cultured in urine cell medium consisting of a 1:1 mixture of DMEM basic culture medium supplemented with 10% of fetal bovine serum (SeraPro), 0.1 mM NEAA, 1 mM L-glutamax, 100 units/ml penicillin100 μg/ml streptomycin (HyClone) and REGM™ Renal Epithelial Cell Growth Medium BulletKit™ (LONZA). Patient urine cells were reprogrammed into iPSCs using typical viral encoded OSKM (OCT4/SOX2/

incubated with secondary antibodies (Table 2) diluted in 10% Goat serum for 1 h at room temperature. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI for 5 min. Images were acquired with a confocal system (Zeiss LSM800, Germany).
Immunofluorescence staining
Teratoma formation
Cells were briefly fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 15 min at room temperature. After permeabilization with 0.5% Triton X-100 in PBS for 5 min, the cells were blocked with 0.5% Triton X-100 and 10% Goat serum for 30 min. Next, the cells were incubated with primary antibodies (Table 2) diluted in 10% Goat serum at 4 °C overnight and then
Human iPSC cells were harvested using Accutase (Sigma) and two million cells were injected into the flank subcutaneously and Lower limb intramuscularly of NOD/SCID mice. After 8–10 weeks, euthanasia of mice with rising CO2 levels, tumors were embedded in paraffin, and sections stained with hematoxilin/eosin and histologically analyzed. 2

Karyotype analysis was performed at passage 10. When the cells had reached logarithmic phase, Colcemid was added to a final concentration of 20 μg/ml for 2 h. Supernatant was removed and the pellet resuspended in 8 ml of 0.075 M KCl and incubated for 20 min at 37 °C. The cells were fixed with fresh Carnoy's Fixative (3:1 ratio of methanol: glacial acetic acid). Twenty metaphases were analyzed at 450–500 band resolution using Ikaros (MetaStstems, Germany) on a Olympus BX51 microscope.
