Title:
COMPOSITION FOR ENHANCING REPROGRAMMING EFFICIENCY FROM SOMATIC CELL TO INDUCED PLURIPOTENT STEM CELL, COMPRISING MTOR ACTIVATOR, AND METHOD FOR ENHANCING REPROGRAMMING EFFICIENCY BY USING SAME
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2021/107715
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a composition for enhancing reprogramming efficiency from somatic cells to induced pluripotent stem cells, comprising an mTOR activator, and a method for enhancing reprogramming efficiency by using same. In the method, reprogramming factors including OCT4, SOX2, c-Myc, and KLF4 are transduced into somatic cells, followed by treatment with an mTOR activator, thereby remarkably increasing reprogramming efficiency into induced pluripotent stem cells. Therefore, the composition and method can be used for effectively inducing the reprograming of somatic cells into induced pluripotent stem cells.
