Induced Pluripotency of Human Prostatic Epithelial Cells
Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells are a valuable resource for discovery of epigenetic changes critical to cell type-specific differentiation. Although iPS cells have been generated from other terminally differentiated cells, the reprogramming of normal adult human basal prostatic epithelial (E-PZ) cells to a pluripotent state has not been reported. Here, we attempted to reprogram E-PZ cells ...
متن کاملDisease-Specific Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells
Tissue culture of immortal cell strains from diseased patients is an invaluable resource for medical research but is largely limited to tumor cell lines or transformed derivatives of native tissues. Here we describe the generation of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells from patients with a variety of genetic diseases with either Mendelian or complex inheritance; these diseases include adenosin...
متن کاملInduced pluripotency leapfrogs ahead.
S omatic cells derived from differentiated tissues can be reprogrammed back to a pluripotent state. However, multiple barriers exist to prevent such extreme dedifferentiation from occurring in vivo, which explains the inefficient induction of pluripotency by ectopic coexpression of Oct4, Sox2, Klf4, and c-Myc (OSKM) in somatic cells. In PNAS, Ganier et al. (1) report a method that uses frog egg...
متن کاملCulture Environment-Induced Pluripotency of SACK-Expanded Tissue Stem Cells
Previous efforts to improve the efficiency of cellular reprogramming for the generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have focused mainly on transcription factors and small molecule combinations. Here, we report the results of our focus instead on the phenotype of the cells targeted for reprogramming. We find that adult mouse pancreatic tissue stem cells derived by the method of sup...
متن کاملInduced pluripotency of mouse and human somatic cells.
The identification of transcription factors to induce pluripotency directly in somatic cells has given researchers a unique platform on which to dissect the mechanisms underlying epigenetic reprogramming. In addition, induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells have enabled the derivation of patient-specific cells for the study and potential treatment of a variety of diseases. Here, we discuss recent ...
