Why we need stem cells in our body? In embryo development: to increase cell number and to differentiate into different cell types. In adult body: to continuously supply short lived somatic cells and to replace damaged cells

Stem Cells • Stem cells have two defining attributes: – The capacity for self-renewal. – The ability to differentiate into many different cell types.

Stem Cells • Niche of stem cells

Adult stem cells in tissue are thought to reside in niches

Patterns of stem-cell differentiation.

Transcriptional network regulating pluripotency of ES cells.

Embryonic stem (ES) cells can be maintained in culture and can form differentiated cell types.

Embryonic stem cells in the dish

Intestinal stem cells: ｈｏｗ　ｔｏ　ｉｄｅｎ.

Regeneration of the intestinal epithelium from stem cells can be demonstrated in pulse-chase experiments.

Three modes of neurogenesis during cortical development. RG in cortex generate neurons

Neural stem cell niche in the adult brain.

Formation of blood cells from hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow.

The original question: Do all cells in the body have the same sets of genes?

Two alternative hypothesis: or

Why should Gurdon repeat this experiment?

Two technical innovations: 1, 用Zenopus的卵 (big size!) 2, 用UV來破壞卵中的染色體和去除外層保護的膠質

Late stage embryonic cell nuclei still can develop an viable frog! How about a fully differentiate cell nuclei?

完全分化的體細胞仍然擁有完整的遺傳資訊 ！ Gurdon, J. B. & Uehlinger, V. Nature 210, 1240– 1241 (1966)

What is next?

Is somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) also true for mammalian animal?

Dolly, 1997

Is Dolly a scientific breakthrough?

What are signals in the cytoplasma of egg to trigger reprogramming of silenced genetic program in somatic cell nuclei?

Could we identify cytosolic factors which can convert a somatic cell nuclei into a embryonic stem cell with totipotent as a fertilized egg ？ A mission impossible!

Identification of ES cell associated transcripts by digital differential display To compare expressed sequence (EST) libraries from mouse ES cells (3 libraries; 33, 077 clones) and those from various somatic tissues (103 libraries; 1, 040, 493 clones) and to identify genes overrepresented in ES cell-derived libraries. http: //www. ncbi. nlm. nih. gov/Uni. Gene

Transgenic fibroblasts with a knock-in gene at the Fbx 15 locus. The knock-in was βgeo: a fusion of Lac. Z gene and neomycin-R gene Normally, Fbx 15 is highly expressed in ES cells, but not expressed in fibroblasts

24 genes were selected as candidates to induce pluripotency in somatic cells, For bcatenin, c-Myc, and Stat 3, they used active forms, S 33 Y-b-catenin, T 58 A-c-Myc and Stat 3 -C, respectively. Because of the reported negative effect of Grb 2 on pluripotency, they also included its dominant-negative mutant Grb 2 DSH 2 as 1 of the 24 candidates.
