摘要: Abstract Mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) express high levels of cytoplasmic p53. Exposure mouse ESCs to DNA damage leads activation p53, inducing Nanog suppression. In contrast earlier studies, we recently reported that chemical inhibition p53 suppresses ESC proliferation. Here, confirm signaling is involved in the maintenance self-renewal. RNA interference-mediated knockdown induced downregulation p21 and defects Furthermore, resulted a significant expression at 24 48 h post-transfection. also caused reduction Oct4 Conversely, exposure higher control siRNA-treated than cells. These data show absence damage, required for self-renewal by regulating expression.
