Somatic to iPS Cell Reprogramming01:29

Somatic to iPS Cell Reprogramming

2.2K
Reprogramming alters the gene expression in somatic cells, transforming them into induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells over several generations. Scientists can reprogram cells by introducing genes for four transcription factors—Oct4, Sox2, Klf4, and c-Myc (OSKM) by viral or non-viral methods. These factors are also known as Yamanaka factors after Shinya Yamanaka, who first generated iPS cells using mouse skin cells. Yamanaka was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2012...

Chromatin Modification in iPS Cells

1.6K
Chromatin modification alters gene expression; therefore, scientists can add histone-modifying enzymes, histone variants, and chromatin remodeling complexes to somatic cells to aid reprogramming into pluripotent stem (iPS) cells.
Compact chromatin makes reprogramming difficult. Enzymes, such as histone demethylases and acetyltransferases, are often added during reprogramming to loosen the chromatin, making the DNA more accessible to transcription factors. Molecules that inhibit histone...

Methods of Nuclear Reprogramming01:24

Methods of Nuclear Reprogramming

1.8K
Nuclear reprogramming is a process of transforming one cell type into an unrelated cell type by epigenetic changes that alter the cell’s original gene expression pattern. Such epigenetic changes force cells to express a different set of genes, which play a significant role in inducing transformation into other cell types. Nuclear reprogramming offers applications in reproductive cloning for livestock propagation and regenerative medicine — developing patient-specific cells for...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Epigenetics
  • Gene Regulation

Background:

  • Non-coding regions of the mouse genome contain regulatory sequences.
  • Enhancers activating gene expression are well-studied, but gene silencers are less explored.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To perform the first genome-wide identification of silencers in the mouse genome.
  • To characterize the genomic distribution, associated genes, and functional properties of these silencers.

Main Methods:

  • Genome-wide identification of silencers in mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) and embryonic stem cells (mESCs).
  • Analysis of silencer distribution, association with gene expression levels, and binding of transcription factors (TFs).
  • Investigation of histone modifications (H3K9me3) and epigenetic changes associated with silencers.

Main Results:

  • Identified 89,596 silencers in MEFs and 115,165 in mESCs.
  • Silencers are ubiquitously distributed, linked to low-expression genes, and cell-specific.
  • Silencers bind repressive TFs, are enriched for H3K9me3, and can switch to enhancer function based on TF levels.
  • Silencers impact MEF induction efficiency and mESC pluripotency.

Conclusions:

  • This study presents the first comprehensive silencer landscape in the mouse genome.
  • Silencers play a significant role in regulating gene expression and cellular processes like reprogramming and pluripotency.
  • Identified silencers provide insights into gene regulation and the development of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs).
