PURPOSE OCT4 (POU5F1, OCT3) immunostaining highlights pluripotent cells (embryonal carcinoma and seminoma) in primary testicular germ cell tumors, but its relative usefulness in diagnosing intratubular germ cell neoplasia, unclassified (IGCNU) is not well established. The present study aimed to establish OCT4 as a sensitive and specific maker for IGCNU, a putative precursor for adult germ cell ...
Interferon-tau (IFNT) is thought to be the conceptus protein that signals maternal recognition of pregnancy in ruminants. We and others have observed that OCT4 expression persists in the trophectoderm of ruminants; thus, both CDX2 and OCT4 coexist during the early stages of conceptus development. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of CDX2 and OCT4 on IFNT gene transcription when ev...
PURPOSE To unravel the role of interleukin (IL)-6 and insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I receptor (IGFIR) in expressing stemness-related properties and to evaluate the prognostic values of pluripotent transcription factor OCT4/NANOG, and IGFIR in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Serum levels of IL6 were detected using ELISA assays (n = 120). The effects of IL6/IGFI on stemn...
Stem cells are characterized by two defining features, the ability to self-renew and to differentiate into highly specialized cell types. The POU homeodomain transcription factor Oct4 (Pou5f1) is an essential mediator of the embryonic stem cell state and has been implicated in lineage specific differentiation, adult stem cell identity, and cancer. Recent description of the regulatory networks w...
The transcription factor Oct4 plays a crucial role in the maintenance of the embryonic pluripotent state, but can also regulate early lineage commitment. In this issue of The EMBO Journal, Aksoy et al (2013) lend critical mechanistic insights into the ability of Oct4 to regulate and specify the primitive endodermal lineage. These regulatory actions are governed by alternative direct partnering ...
BACKGROUND Expression of SOX-2 and Oct4 as markers for the identification of cancer stem cells (CSCs) has been revealed in several malignancies. In this study, the co-expression of SOX-2 and Oct4 and their correlation with clinicopathological features of endometrial adenocarcinomas (EACs) was investigated. METHODS SOX-2 and Oct4 expression was assessed by immunohistochemistry in 27 (39.13%) s...
Here, the role of methylation in regulation of rat Oct4 gene was evaluated during embryonic development, in adult tissues and in embryo-derived cells. First, the region 3.1 kb upstream to the rat Oct4 ATG site was cloned and sequenced. The rat Oct4 upstream sequence was similar to that in bovine, mouse and human with two upstream elements: proximal (PE) and distal enhancers (DE) and four homolo...
The four transcription factors Oct4, Sox2, Klf4, and c-Myc can induce pluripotency in mouse and human fibroblasts. We previously described direct reprogramming of adult mouse neural stem cells (NSCs) by Oct4 and either Klf4 or c-Myc. NSCs endogenously express Sox2, c-Myc, and Klf4 as well as several intermediate reprogramming markers. Here we report that exogenous expression of the germline-spe...
The presence of acetylated histone H3K56 (H3K56ac) in human ES cells (ESCs) correlates positively with the binding of Nanog, Sox2, and Oct4 (NSO) transcription factors at their target gene promoters. However, the function of H3K56ac there has been unclear. We now report that Oct4 interacts with H3K56ac in mouse ESC nuclear extracts and that perturbing H3K56 acetylation decreases Oct4-H3 binding...
