Epigenetic reprogramming: Prdm14 hits the accelerator.
The release of epigenetic boundaries during epigenetic reprogramming is poorly understood. In the recent issue of Cell Stem Cell Journal, Gillich and colleagues identify a unique role for Prdm14 in the acceleration of this process (Gillich et al, 2012). Pluripotent stem cells can be established from pre-implantation blastocyst embryos (embryonic stem cells, ESCs) as well as from the post-implan...
متن کاملEpigenetic reprogramming in cancer.
The demonstration of induced pluripotency and direct lineage conversion has led to remarkable insights regarding the roles of transcription factors and chromatin regulators in mediating cell state transitions. Beyond its considerable implications for regenerative medicine, this body of work is highly relevant to multiple stages of oncogenesis, from the initial cellular transformation to the hie...
متن کاملEpigenetic Dynamics of Cell Reprogramming
Reprogramming is a process of transforming differentiated cells into pluripotent stem cells by inducing specific modifying factors in the cells. Reprogramming is a non-equilibrium process involving a collaboration at levels separated by orders of magnitude in time scale, namely transcription factor binding/unbinding, protein synthesis/degradation, and epigenetic histone modification. We propose...
متن کاملRestoring totipotency through epigenetic reprogramming.
Epigenetic modifications are implicated in the maintenance and regulation of transcriptional memory by marking genes that were previously transcribed to facilitate transmission of these expression patterns through cell division. During germline specification and maintenance, extensive epigenetic modifications are acquired. Yet somehow at fertilization, the fusion of the highly differentiated sp...
متن کاملEpigenetic reprogramming and induced pluripotency.
The cloning of animals from adult cells has demonstrated that the developmental state of adult cells can be reprogrammed into that of embryonic cells by uncharacterized factors within the oocyte. More recently, transcription factors have been identified that can induce pluripotency in somatic cells without the use of oocytes, generating induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. iPS cells provide a ...
