Title:
INDUCTION OF PLURIPOTENT STEM CELL CELLS FROM GERM CELLS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/100140
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for effectively inducing pluripotent stem cells from germ stem cells. Pluripotent stem cell cells can be induced with greater efficiency than in conventional methods by using germ stem cells in which Sox2 and/or Oct4 is overexpressed. With regard to the germ stem cells, one or more kind of gene selected from Dnmt1 gene, Dmap1 gene, Dmrt1 gene and Oct1 gene is inhibited, or Sox2 gene and/or Oct4 gene is overexpressed, or alternatively the protein of Sox2 and/or Oct4 is directly introduced. Said method enables pluripotent stem cells to be more efficiently induced from germ stem cells than in conventional methods.
