Extract of mouse embryonic stem cells induces the expression of pluripotency genes in human adipose tissue-derived stem cells
Objective(s): In some previous studies, the extract of embryonic carcinoma cells (ECCs) and embryonic stem cells (ESCs) have been used to reprogram somatic cells to more dedifferentiated state. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of mouse ESCs extract on the expression of some pluripotency markers in human adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs). Materials and Methods: Human A...
متن کاملAn Extended Transcriptional Network for Pluripotency of Embryonic Stem Cells
Much attention has focused on a small set of transcription factors that maintain human or mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells in a pluripotent state. To gain a more complete understanding of the regulatory network that maintains this state, we identified target promoters of nine transcription factors, including somatic cell reprogramming factors (Oct4, Sox2, Klf4, and c-Myc) and others (Nanog, Dax1...
متن کاملEmbryonic Stem Cells: from Blastocyst to in vitro Differentiation
A stem cell is a specific kind of cell that has the unique capacity to renew itself and to give rise to specialized cell type. In terms of potentially, stem cells can be classified in three types: • Totipotent: is the ability to form all cell types, including the extra-embryonic tissues. In mammals, the fertilized egg, zygote and the first 2, 4, 8, 16 blastomeres from the early, are examples of...
متن کاملHuman embryonic stem cells: an in vitro model to study mechanisms controlling pluripotency in early mammalian development.
The property of pluripotency confers the capacity for differentiation into a large number of cell types including extra-embryonic, somatic and germinal cells. During normal development, pluripotency is acquired by the cells of the early embryo, which shortly thereafter undergo differentiation, whereas embryonic stem cells (ESCs) uniquely maintain pluripotency while undergoing extensive in vitro...
متن کاملSignaling pathways dictating pluripotency in embryonic stem cells.
Embryonic Stem Cells (ESCs) are derived from the inner cell mass of blastocysts. They have the unique potency to differentiate into diverse lineages. Hence, they are bestowed with the term pluripotency. Several mechanisms have been implicated in maintaining the pluripotency of ESCs. This review will focus on the role of signaling pathways in regulating ESC pluripotency among diverse mammalian s...
