Histone Deacetylase Inhibitor Significantly Improved the Cloning Efficiency of Porcine Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer Embryos
1 Dec 2011
Abstract excerpt
Valproic acid (VPA), a histone deacetylase inbibitor, has been shown to generate inducible pluripotent stem (iPS) cells from mouse and human fibroblasts with a significant higher efficiency. Because successful cloning by somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) undergoes a full reprogramming process in which the epigenetic state of a differentiated donor nuclear is converted into an embryonic totipotent state, we...
