Changing POU dimerization preferences converts Oct6 into a pluripotency inducer
The transcription factor Oct4 is a core component of molecular cocktails inducing pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), while other members of the POU family cannot replace Oct4 with comparable efficiency. Rather, group III POU factors such as Oct6 induce neural lineages. Here, we sought to identify molecular features determining the differential DNA-binding and reprogramming activity of Oct4 and Oct...
متن کاملTwo Factor Reprogramming of Human Neural Stem Cells into Pluripotency
BACKGROUND Reprogramming human somatic cells to pluripotency represents a valuable resource for the development of in vitro based models for human disease and holds tremendous potential for deriving patient-specific pluripotent stem cells. Recently, mouse neural stem cells (NSCs) have been shown capable of reprogramming into a pluripotent state by forced expression of Oct3/4 and Klf4; however i...
متن کاملCapturing Pluripotency
In this Essay, we argue that pluripotent epiblast founder cells in the embryo and embryonic stem (ES) cells in culture represent the ground state for a mammalian cell, signified by freedom from developmental specification or epigenetic restriction and capacity for autonomous self-replication. We speculate that cell-to-cell variation may be integral to the ES cell condition, safe-guarding self-r...
متن کاملHuman pluripotency
Pluripotent cells have unique properties of self-renewal while maintaining developmental potential to differentiate into all three germ layers. By definition, pluripo-tent cells have no predetermined lineage program, thereby forming the fundamental basis of enquiry and experimental investigations to understand cell fate decisions. Molecular and cellular insights into human pluripotent stem cell...
متن کاملPluripotency and nuclear reprogramming.
Embryonic stem cells are promising donor cell sources for cell transplantation therapy, which may in the future be used to treat various diseases and injuries. However, as is the case for organ transplantation, immune rejection after transplantation is a potential problem with this type of therapy. Moreover, the use of human embryos presents serious ethical difficulties. These issues may be ove...
