Regulation of Induced Pluripotent Stem (iPS) Cell Induction by Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling
31 Jan 2014
Abstract excerpt
Wnt signaling has been implicated in promoting somatic cell reprogramming. However, its molecular mechanisms remain unknown. Here we report that Wnt/β-catenin enhances iPSCs induction at the early stage of reprogramming. The augmented reprogramming induced by β-catenin is not due to increased total cell population or activation of c-Myc. In addition, β-catenin interacts with reprogramming factors Klf4, Oct4, and...
