Time-resolved gene expression profiling during reprogramming of C/EBPα-pulsed B cells into iPS cells
The reprogramming of somatic cells to induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) is lengthy and inefficient. The development of a reprogramming system that allows rapid and synchronous reprogramming to pluripotency is imperative for understanding the mechanism of iPSC formation and for future therapeutic applications. We have recently reported that a short expression in mouse primary B cells of the...
متن کاملPre-B cell to macrophage transdifferentiation without significant promoter DNA methylation changes
Transcription factor-induced lineage reprogramming or transdifferentiation experiments are essential for understanding the plasticity of differentiated cells. These experiments helped to define the specific role of transcription factors in conferring cell identity and played a key role in the development of the regenerative medicine field. We here investigated the acquisition of DNA methylation...
متن کاملI-8: Somatic Cell Nuclear Reprogramming byMouse Oocytes Endures Beyond ReproductiveDecline
Background: The mammalian oocyte has the unique feature of supporting fertilization and normal development while being able of reprogramming the nuclei of somatic cells towards pluripotency, and occasionally even totipotency. Whilst oocyte quality is known to decay with somatic ageing, it is not a given that different biological functions decay concurrently. In this study, we tested whether ooc...
متن کاملRegulation of the C/EBPα signaling pathway in acute myeloid leukemia (Review).
The transcription factor CCAAT/enhancer binding protein α (C/EBPα), as a critical regulator of myeloid development, directs granulocyte and monocyte differentiation. Various mechanisms have been identified to explain how C/EBPα functions in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). C/EBPα expression is suppressed as a result of common leukemia-associated genetic and epigenetic alterations suc...
متن کاملSilencing hyperoxia-induced C/EBPα in neonatal mice improves lung architecture via enhanced proliferation of alveolar epithelial cells.
Postnatal lung development requires proliferation and differentiation of specific cell types at precise times to promote proper alveolar formation. Hyperoxic exposure can disrupt alveolarization by inhibiting cell growth; however, it is not fully understood how this is mediated. The transcription factor CCAAT/enhancer binding protein-α (C/EBPα) is highly expressed in the lung and plays a role i...
