Direct reprogramming of rat neural precursor cells and fibroblasts into pluripotent stem cells.

PloS one | 2010

Given the usefulness of rats as an experimental system, an efficient method for generating rat induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells would provide researchers with a powerful tool for studying human physiology and disease. Here, we report direct reprogramming of rat neural precursor (NP) cells and rat embryonic fibroblasts (REF) into iPS cells by retroviral transduction using either three (Oct3/4, Sox2, and Klf4), four (Oct3/4, Sox2, Klf4, and c-Myc), or five (Oct3/4, Sox2, Klf4, c-Myc, and Nanog) genes.

The Li Lab at UCSF (tool)

RRID:SCR_010269

Laboratory portal that houses the following databases. MethPrimer is a program for designing bisulfite-conversion-based Methylation PCR Primers. Currently, it can design primers for two types of bisulfite PCR: 1) Methylation-Specific PCR (MSP) and 2) Bisulfite-Sequencing PCR (BSP) or Bisulfite-Restriction PCR. CpG Island Prediction MethPrimer can also analyze input sequences for the existence of CpG islands. Human Prostate Gene Database (PGDB) is a curated and integrated database of human genes related to the prostate and prostatic diseases. Human Kidney Gene Database (KGDB) is a curated and integrated database of human genes related to the kidney and renal diseases. The Li Lab is interested in understanding how small RNA regulates gene expression at the transcriptional level by targeting gene promoter sequences, particularly how small RNA activates gene transcription, a phenomenon termed RNA activation (RNAa).
