    Description: Somatic cells can be reprogrammed to a pluripotent state through the ectopic expression of defined transcription factors. Understanding the mechanism and kinetics of this transformation may shed light on the nature of developmental potency and suggest strategies with improved efficiency or safety. Here we report an integrative genomic analysis of reprogramming of mouse fibroblasts and B lymphocytes. Lineage-committed cells show a complex response to the ectopic expression involving induction of genes downstream of individual reprogramming factors. Fully reprogrammed cells show gene expression and epigenetic states that are highly similar to embryonic stem cells. In contrast, stable partially reprogrammed cell lines show reactivation of a distinctive subset of stem-cell-related genes, incomplete repression of lineage-specifying transcription factors, and DNA hypermethylation at pluripotency-related loci. These observations suggest that some cells may become trapped in partially reprogrammed states owing to incomplete repression of transcription factors, and that DNA de-methylation is an inefficient step in the transition to pluripotency. We demonstrate that RNA inhibition of transcription factors can facilitate reprogramming, and that treatment with DNA methyltransferase inhibitors can improve the overall efficiency of the reprogramming process.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2754827/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2754827/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Mikkelsen, Tarjei S -- Hanna, Jacob -- Zhang, Xiaolan -- Ku, Manching -- Wernig, Marius -- Schorderet, Patrick -- Bernstein, Bradley E -- Jaenisch, Rudolf -- Lander, Eric S -- Meissner, Alexander -- U54 HG003067/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- U54 HG003067-04/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2008 Jul 3;454(7200):49-55. doi: 10.1038/nature07056.

    Description: Direct reprogramming of somatic cells into induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells can be achieved by overexpression of Oct4, Sox2, Klf4 and c-Myc transcription factors, but only a minority of donor somatic cells can be reprogrammed to pluripotency. Here we demonstrate that reprogramming by these transcription factors is a continuous stochastic process where almost all mouse donor cells eventually give rise to iPS cells on continued growth and transcription factor expression. Additional inhibition of the p53/p21 pathway or overexpression of Lin28 increased the cell division rate and resulted in an accelerated kinetics of iPS cell formation that was directly proportional to the increase in cell proliferation. In contrast, Nanog overexpression accelerated reprogramming in a predominantly cell-division-rate-independent manner. Quantitative analyses define distinct cell-division-rate-dependent and -independent modes for accelerating the stochastic course of reprogramming, and suggest that the number of cell divisions is a key parameter driving epigenetic reprogramming to pluripotency.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2789972/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2789972/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hanna, Jacob -- Saha, Krishanu -- Pando, Bernardo -- van Zon, Jeroen -- Lengner, Christopher J -- Creyghton, Menno P -- van Oudenaarden, Alexander -- Jaenisch, Rudolf -- R01 CA087869/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA087869-09/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HD045022/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- R01 HD045022-06/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- R01-CA087869/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01-HDO45022/PHS HHS/ -- R37 CA084198/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R37 CA084198-09/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R37-CA084198/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- U54CA143874/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2009 Dec 3;462(7273):595-601. doi: 10.1038/nature08592.

    Description: Proteasomes, the primary mediators of ubiquitin-protein conjugate degradation, are regulated through complex and poorly understood mechanisms. Here we show that USP14, a proteasome-associated deubiquitinating enzyme, can inhibit the degradation of ubiquitin-protein conjugates both in vitro and in cells. A catalytically inactive variant of USP14 has reduced inhibitory activity, indicating that inhibition is mediated by trimming of the ubiquitin chain on the substrate. A high-throughput screen identified a selective small-molecule inhibitor of the deubiquitinating activity of human USP14. Treatment of cultured cells with this compound enhanced degradation of several proteasome substrates that have been implicated in neurodegenerative disease. USP14 inhibition accelerated the degradation of oxidized proteins and enhanced resistance to oxidative stress. Enhancement of proteasome activity through inhibition of USP14 may offer a strategy to reduce the levels of aberrant proteins in cells under proteotoxic stress.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2939003/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2939003/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Lee, Byung-Hoon -- Lee, Min Jae -- Park, Soyeon -- Oh, Dong-Chan -- Elsasser, Suzanne -- Chen, Ping-Chung -- Gartner, Carlos -- Dimova, Nevena -- Hanna, John -- Gygi, Steven P -- Wilson, Scott M -- King, Randall W -- Finley, Daniel -- DK082906/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- GM65592/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM66492/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- NS047533/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- P30 NS057098/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- P30 NS057098-049002/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM066492/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM067945/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS047533/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS047533-06A2/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2010 Sep 9;467(7312):179-84. doi: 10.1038/nature09299.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Cell Biology, Harvard Medical School, 240 Longwood Avenue, Boston, Massachusetts 02115, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20829789" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
