Oct-4 Is Critical for Survival/Antiapoptosis of Murine Embryonic Stem Cells Subjected to Stress: Effects Associated with Stat3/Survivin
11 Oct 2007
Abstract excerpt
Understanding survival/antiapoptosis of murine embryonic stem (ES) cells may enhance their clinical potential. We hypothesized that Oct-4 might be involved in survival of undifferentiated ES cells under stress. The Oct-4 tetracycline conditional knockout cell line ZHBtc4 was used to test this possibility, and apoptosis was induced by either etoposide, heat shock, or UV exposure. Apoptosis in Oct-4 knocked-down ES...
