摘要: PIWI proteins play essential and conserved roles in germline development, including stem cell maintenance meiosis. Because regulators such as OCT4, NANOG, SOX2 are known to be potent factors that reprogram differentiated somatic cells into induced pluripotent (iPSCs), we investigated whether the protein family is involved iPSC production. We find all three mouse Piwi genes, Miwi, Mili, Miwi2, expressed embryonic (ESCs) at higher levels than fibroblasts, with Mili being highest. However, mice lacking genes viable female fertile, only male sterile. Furthermore, fibroblasts derived from Miwi/Mili/Miwi2 triple knockout embryos can efficiently reprogrammed iPS cells. These pluripotency markers were capable of differentiating germ layers teratoma assays. Genome-wide expression profiling reveals very similar littermate control results indicate dispensable for direct reprogramming fibroblasts.
