Reprogramming of fibroblasts into induced pluripotent stem cells with orphan nuclear receptor Esrrb

TL;DR: This work shows that the orphan nuclear receptor Esrrb functions in conjunction with Oct4 and Sox2 to mediate reprogramming of mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) to iPS cells, and indicates that it is possible to reprogram MEFs without exogenous Klf transcription factors and link a nuclear receptor to somatic cell reprograming.
Journal ArticleDOI

Jmjd1a and Jmjd2c histone H3 Lys 9 demethylases regulate self-renewal in embryonic stem cells

TL;DR: The results connect the ES cell transcription circuitry to chromatin modulation through H3K9 demethylation in pluripotent cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

The nuclear receptor Nr5a2 can replace Oct4 in the reprogramming of murine somatic cells to pluripotent cells.

TL;DR: It is shown that the orphan nuclear receptor Nr5a2 (also known as Lrh-1) can replace Oct4 in the derivation of iPSCs from mouse somatic cells, and it can also enhance reprogramming efficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI

Histone deacetylases: silencers for hire.

TL;DR: This work has shown that eukaryotic genes can be silenced by deacetylation of acetyl-lysine moieties in the N-terminal tails of histones, and links histoneDeacetylases with an increasing number of repressors, suggesting that deacetylene might be a rather pervasive feature of transcriptional repression systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

A genome-wide RNAi screen reveals determinants of human embryonic stem cell identity

TL;DR: A genome-wide RNA interference screen to identify genes which regulate self-renewal and pluripotency properties in hESCs uncovers a wealth of novel hESC regulators wherein PRDM14 exemplifies a key transcription factor required for the maintenance of h ESC identity and the reacquisition of pluripOTency in human somatic cells.
