Oct4-Induced Pluripotency in Adult Neural Stem Cells
The four transcription factors Oct4, Sox2, Klf4, and c-Myc can induce pluripotency in mouse and human fibroblasts. We previously described direct reprogramming of adult mouse neural stem cells (NSCs) by Oct4 and either Klf4 or c-Myc. NSCs endogenously express Sox2, c-Myc, and Klf4 as well as several intermediate reprogramming markers. Here we report that exogenous expression of the germline-specific transcription factor Oct4 is sufficient to generate pluripotent stem cells from adult mouse NSCs. These one-factor induced pluripotent stem cells (1F iPS) are similar to embryonic stem cells invitro and invivo. Not only can these cells can be efficiently differentiated into NSCs, cardiomyocytes, and germ cells invitro, but they are also capable of teratoma formation and germline transmission invivo. Our results demonstrate that Oct4 is required and sufficient to directly reprogram NSCs to pluripotency. |
