Sirtuin 1 Facilitates Generation of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells from Mouse Embryonic Fibroblasts through the miR-34a and p53 Pathways
21 Sept 2012
Abstract excerpt
Forced-expression of transcription factors can reprogram somatic cells into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC). Recent studies show that the reprogramming efficiency can be improved by inclusion of small molecules that regulate chromatin modifying enzymes. We report here that sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), a member of the sirtuin family of NAD(+)-dependent protein deacetylases, is involved in iPSC formation. By using an...
