It has been shown that forced expression of four mouse stem cell factors (OCT4, Sox2, Klf4, and c-Myc) changed the phenotype of rat endothelial cells to vascular progenitor cells. The present study aimed to explore whether the expression of OCT4 alone might change the phenotype of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) to endothelial progenitor cells and, if so, to examine the possible...
Oct4 and Sox2 are pluripotent stem cell factors but the interplay between them in tumorigenesis is unclear. The aim of the present study was to investigate the roles of Oct4 and Sox2 in the reprogramming of oral cancer stem cells. One or both Oct4 and Sox2 were overexpressed in immortalized oral epithelial (hTERT+-OME) cells by lentivirus transduction. In addition, Oct4 and Sox2 proteins in two...
Octamer-binding transcription factor 4 (OCT4) has been implicated in cancer metastasis. In this study, we investigated whether OCT4 promotes colorectal cancer (CRC) metastasis through the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process. We designed our experiment as a loss-of-function study. Western blot analysis was used to measure the extent and...
The transcription factor, Oct-4, is involved in the self-renewal of undifferentiated embryonic stem cells, and is also significant in the reprogramming process and in the development of tumors. In the present study, the fusion protein, Tat47‑57-Oct4, was secreted by the signal peptide of human serum albumin in Pichia pastoris under the control of alcohol oxidase promoter 1. The yield of recombi...
MicroRNA-145 Regulates OCT4, SOX2, and KLF4 and Represses Pluripotency in Human Embryonic Stem Cells
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are posttranscriptional modulators of gene expression and play an important role in many developmental processes. We report here that expression of microRNA-145 (miR-145) is low in self-renewing human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) but highly upregulated during differentiation. We identify the pluripotency factors OCT4, SOX2, and KLF4 as direct targets of miR-145 and show that ...
Transcription factors, such as Oct4, are critical for establishing and maintaining pluripotent cell identity. Whereas the genomic locations of several pluripotency transcription factors have been reported, the spectrum of their interaction partners is underexplored. Here, we use an improved affinity protocol to purify Oct4-interacting proteins from mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Subsequent ...
Abstract Study question Does the differential expression of key embryonic stem cell (ESC) markers due to upstream signaling cascade(s) deregulation influence RPL pathogenesis in studied population? Summary answer Imbalanced Oct4-Cdx2 linked ESCs polarization β-catenin during peri-implantation period impacts population. What is known already affects approximately 2-5% women globally and around 7...
OCT4 is a pivotal transcription factor in maintaining the pluripotency and self-renewal capacities of embryonic stem (ES) cells. Human OCT4 can generate two isoforms by alternative splicing, termed OCT4A and OCT4B. OCT4A confers the stemness properties of ES cells, whereas the function of OCT4B is unknown. We present here the diverse protein products and a novel function of OCT4 gene. A single ...
The transcription factors of embryonic stem cells, such as Oct4, Sox2, Nanog, Bmi1, and Klf4, are known to be associated with stemness, epithelial-mesenchymal transition and aggressive tumor behavior. This study was designed to evaluate the clinicopathological significance of their expression in breast cancer. Immunohistochemistry for Oct4, Sox2, Nanog, Bmi1, and Klf4 was performed in 319 cases...
Nuclear transfer to eggs or oocytes provides a potential route for cell-replacement therapies because oocytes directly reprogram transplanted mammalian somatic-cell nuclei such that they have an embryo-like pattern of gene expression. This includes a large increase in the mRNA level of the stem-cell marker gene oct4. We have developed a novel procedure to identify new proteins that greatly incr...
