Stem cell factor Sox2 and its close relative Sox3 have differentiation functions in oligodendrocytes
Neural precursor cells of the ventricular zone give rise to all neurons and glia of the central nervous system and rely for maintenance of their precursor characteristics on the closely related SoxB1 transcription factors Sox1, Sox2 and Sox3. We show in mouse spinal cord that, whereas SoxB1 proteins are usually downregulated upon neuronal specification, they continue to be expressed in glial pr...
متن کاملp27Kip1 Directly Represses Sox2 during Embryonic Stem Cell Differentiation
The mechanisms responsible for the transcriptional silencing of pluripotency genes in differentiated cells are poorly understood. We have observed that cells lacking the tumor suppressor p27 can be reprogrammed into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) in the absence of ectopic Sox2. Interestingly, cells and tissues from p27 null mice, including brain, lung, and retina, present an elevated ba...
متن کاملGuiding Stem Cell Differentiation into Oligodendrocytes Using Graphene-Nanofiber Scaffolds
Damage to the central nervous system (CNS) from degenerative diseases or traumatic injuries is particularly devastating due the limited regenerative capabilities of the CNS. Among the current approaches, stem cell-based regenerative medicine has shown great promise in achieving significant functional recovery by taking advantage of the self-renewal and differentiation capabilities of stem cells...
متن کاملDynamic Changes in Ezh2 Gene Occupancy Underlie Its Involvement in Neural Stem Cell Self-Renewal and Differentiation towards Oligodendrocytes
BACKGROUND The polycomb group protein Ezh2 is an epigenetic repressor of transcription originally found to prevent untimely differentiation of pluripotent embryonic stem cells. We previously demonstrated that Ezh2 is also expressed in multipotent neural stem cells (NSCs). We showed that Ezh2 expression is downregulated during NSC differentiation into astrocytes or neurons. However, high levels ...
متن کاملMatrix assembly, regulation, and survival functions of laminin and its receptors in embryonic stem cell differentiation
Laminin-1 is essential for early embryonic basement membrane assembly and differentiation. Several steps can be distinguished, i.e., the expression of laminin and companion matrix components, their accumulation on the cell surface and assembly into basement membrane between endoderm and inner cell mass, and the ensuing differentiation of epiblast. In this study, we used differentiating embryoid...
