Roadmap of the Early Events of In Vivo Somatic Cell Reprogramming

摘要

Single-cell transcriptomics and in situ imaging of murine pancreas upon partial reprogramming in vivo reveal transcriptional dynamics upon Oct4, Sox2, Klf4, and cMyc (OSKM) induction. Interestingly, transcriptomic signatures of partial reprogramming observed in pancreas are shared by several tissues upon OSKM induction as well as during in vitro reprogramming of fibroblasts, pointing to the existence of conserved pathways critical for early reprogramming, regeneration, and rejuvenation.
