Background
Reprogramming human somatic cells to pluripotency represents a valuable resource for the development of in vitro based models for human disease and holds tremendous potential for deriving patient-specific pluripotent stem cells. Recently, mouse neural stem cells (NSCs) have been shown capable of reprogramming into a pluripotent state by forced expression of Oct3/4 and Klf4; however it has been unknown whether this same strategy could apply to human NSCs, which would result in more relevant pluripotent stem cells for modeling human disease.Methodology and Principal Findings
Here, we show that OCT3/4 and KLF4 are indeed sufficient to induce pluripotency from human NSCs within a two week time frame and are molecularly indistinguishable from human ES cells. Furthermore, human NSC-derived pluripotent stem cells can differentiate into all three germ lineages both in vitro and in vivo.Conclusions/Significance
We propose that human NSCs represent an attractive source of cells for producing human iPS cells since they only require two factors, obviating the need for c-MYC, for induction into pluripotency. Thus, in vitro human disease models could be generated from iPS cells derived from human NSCs. 相似文献3.

诱导多功能性干细胞(induced pluripotent stem cells,iPS细胞)是通过导入特定的转录因子(如Oct3/4、Sox2、c-Myc和Klf4等)将体细胞诱导重编程为多能性干细胞,其功能与胚胎干细胞相似.iPS细胞的建立,在生命科学领域引起了新的轰动.目前,iPS细胞的研究领域在转录因子的优化、iPS细胞的筛选、载体的运用、体细胞种类的选择和iPS细胞的应用等方面取得突破进展,但仍然存在致癌性、效率低等一系列急需解决的问题. 相似文献

胚胎干细胞不仅是研究哺乳动物早期胚胎发育、细胞分化、基因表达调控等发育生物学问题的有力工具,还可用于新药评价、细胞治疗等方面的研究.然而,为科学研究而捐献的人类卵子并不能够轻易获得,限制了人类胚胎干细胞相关研究的进展,解决这个问题的理想办法就是找到能够替代胚胎干细胞的其他成体多能细胞.综述了将哺乳动物体细胞诱导为多能干细胞的方法,重点介绍了利用特定的转录因子将体细胞诱导为诱导多能干细胞(induced pluripotent stem cells,iPS细胞)的最新进展,详细阐述了转录因子在诱导细胞重编程过程中发挥的作用,以及iPS细胞筛选与鉴定的方法,并展望了iPS细胞的应用前景. 相似文献

体细胞直接重编程是由已分化细胞类型不经过诱导型多能干细胞(Induced pluripotent stem cells,i PSCs)中间阶段,直接转换为另一种细胞类型的重编程过程。体细胞直接重编程避免了i PSC技术存在的重编程效率低下、引入致癌基因等多种缺陷,并为细胞替换治疗和个性化医药研发设想贡献了新的实现途径。现代医学对于诸如神经退行性疾病、神经遗传疾病和外伤导致的神经细胞受损等一些神经系统疾病一直没有有效的治疗手段。而体细胞直接重编程为治疗这些疾病提供了另一种治疗途径,因此体细胞直接重编程为神经细胞相关领域迅速成为研究热点。回顾了体细胞重编程为诱导型神经元(Induced neurons,i Ns)和诱导型神经干细胞(Induced neural stem cells,i NSCs)的最新研究进展,并探讨i Ns和i NSCs在临床应用上的各自优势、局限性及应用前景。 相似文献

Recent findings suggest the possibility that tumors originate from cancer cells with stem cell properties. The cancer stem cell (CSC) hypothesis provides an explanation for why existing cancer therapies often fail in eradicating highly malignant tumors and end with tumor recurrence. Although normal stem cells and CSCs both share the capacity for self-renewal and multi-lineage differentiation, suggesting that CSC may be derived from normal SCs, the cellular origin of transformation of CSCs is debatable. Research suggests that the tightly controlled balance of self-renewal and differentiation that characterizes normal stem cell function is dis-regulated in cancer. Additionally, recent evidence has linked an embryonic stem cell (ESC)-like gene signature with poorly differentiated high-grade tumors, suggesting that regulatory pathways controlling pluripotency may in part contribute to the somatic CSC phenotype. Here, we introduce expression profile bioinformatic analyses of mouse breast cells with CSC properties, mouse embryonic stem (mES) and induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells with an emphasis on how study of pluripotent stem cells may contribute to the identification of genes and pathways that facilitate events associated with oncogenesis. Global gene expression analysis from CSCs and induced pluripotent stem cell lines represent an ideal model to study cancer initiation and progression and provide insight into the origin cancer stem cells. Additionally, insight into the genetic and epigenomic mechanisms regulating the balance between self-renewal and differentiation of somatic stem cells and cancer may help to determine whether different strategies used to generate iPSCs are potentially safe for therapeutic use. 相似文献

A 30-node signed and directed network responsible for self-renewal and pluripotency of mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) was extracted from several ChIP-Seq and knockdown followed by expression prior studies. The underlying regulatory logic among network components was then learned using the initial network topology and single cell gene expression measurements from mESCs cultured in serum/LIF or serum-free 2i/LIF conditions. Comparing the learned network regulatory logic derived from cells cultured in serum/LIF vs. 2i/LIF revealed differential roles for Nanog, Oct4/Pou5f1, Sox2, Esrrb and Tcf3. Overall, gene expression in the serum/LIF condition was more variable than in the 2i/LIF but mostly consistent across the two conditions. Expression levels for most genes in single cells were bimodal across the entire population and this motivated a Boolean modeling approach. In silico predictions derived from removal of nodes from the Boolean dynamical model were validated with experimental single and combinatorial RNA interference (RNAi) knockdowns of selected network components. Quantitative post-RNAi expression level measurements of remaining network components showed good agreement with the in silico predictions. Computational removal of nodes from the Boolean network model was also used to predict lineage specification outcomes. In summary, data integration, modeling, and targeted experiments were used to improve our understanding of the regulatory topology that controls mESC fate decisions as well as to develop robust directed lineage specification protocols. 相似文献
