High-Efficiency Stem Cell Fusion-Mediated Assay Reveals Sall4 as an Enhancer of Reprogramming
Several methods allow reprogramming of differentiated somatic cells to embryonic stem cell-like cells. However, the process of reprogramming remains inefficient and the underlying molecular mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we report the optimization of somatic cell fusion with embryonic stem cells in order to provide an efficient, quantitative assay to screen for factors that facilitate ...
متن کاملDNA Synthesis Is Required for Reprogramming Mediated by Stem Cell Fusion
Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) can instruct the conversion of differentiated cells toward pluripotency following cell-to-cell fusion by a mechanism that is rapid but poorly understood. Here, we used centrifugal elutriation to enrich for mouse ESCs at sequential stages of the cell cycle and showed that ESCs in S/G2 phases have an enhanced capacity to dominantly reprogram lymphocytes and fibroblasts...
متن کاملEnhanced self-renewal of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells mediated by the stem cell gene Sall4
BACKGROUND Sall4 is a key factor for the maintenance of pluripotency and self-renewal of embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Our previous studies have shown that Sall4 is a robust stimulator for human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSC/HPC) expansion. The purpose of the current study is to further evaluate how Sall4 may affect HSC/HPC activities in a murine system. METHODS Lentiviral vector...
متن کاملI-10: The Oocyte Express Way to Reprogramming Supports Double Nucleus Transplantation
Studies on cell fusion-mediated nuclear reprogramming have led to the breakthrough of the induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell technology. While this technology has neared stem cells to applications more than any other method, the mechanistic bases of reprogramming remain largely unsolved. In this context, comparative studies of oocyte and cell fusion-mediated reprogramming hold the greatest pro...
متن کاملSelect: Stem Cell Reprogramming
Researchers have long suspected that cancer cells and stem cells share a core molecular signature, but this commonality remains incompletely understood. By examining microRNA (miRNA) expression patterns in multiple types of cancer cells and stem cells, Neveu et al. (2010) have now developed the miRMap, a tool that facilitates quantitative examination of the molecular hallmarks associated with a...
