This invention generally relates to a method for developing, generating and selecting human embryonic stem (hES)-like pluripotent cells using transgenic expression of intronic microRNA-like RNA agents. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method and composition for generating a non-naturally occurring intron and its intronic components capable of being processed into mir-302-like RNA molecules in mammalian cells and thus inducing certain specific gene silencing effects on differentiation-related and fate-determinant genes of the cells, resulting in reprogramming the cells into a pluripotent embryonic stem (ES)-cell-like state. The ES-like cells so obtained are strongly express hES cell markers, such as Oct3 / 4, SSEA-3 and SSEA-4, and can be guided into various tissue cell types by treating certain hormones and / or growth factors under a feeder-free cell culture condition in vitro, which may be used for transplantation and gene therapies. Therefore, the present invention offers a simple, effective and safe gene manipulation approach for not only reprogramming somatic cells into ES-like pluripotent cells but also facilitating the maintenance of pluripotent and renewal properties of ES cells under a feeder-free cell culture condition, preventing the tedious retroviral insertion of four large transcription factor genes into one single cell as used in the previous iPS methods.

Colorectal cancer biomarker

The invention discloses a colorectal cancer biomarker, relating to application of interferon-induced transmembrane protein 1 in inhibition of endogenous retrovirus in colorectal cancer. The hESCs of IFITM1-KO is constructed by using CRISPR / Cas9 technology so as to study the functions of IFITM1. Studies find that the IFITM1-deleted human embryonic stem cell (hESCs) is identical with IFITM1-WT in the aspects of cell proliferation, cell pluripotency, telomere length, telomerase activity and the like. The expression of human endogenous retrovirus in hESCs of IFITM1-KO increases, and expression in para-carcinoma tissue is higher than that in colorectal carcinoma tissue. ChIP-qPCR detection finds that the enrichment of H3K9me3 in hESCs of IFITM1-KO is reduced at the HERVs site. Data shows that the expression level of IFITM1 in hESCs and colorectal carcinoma is in negative correlation to HERVs expression, and the IFITM1 can inhibit the expression of HERVs by regulating epigenetic inheritance.

Reprogramming normal and cancerous human cell lines into human induced poluripotent stem cells by co-electroporation with living xenopus laevis frog oocytes

Using electroporation, it is possible to activate the natural reprogramming potential of living Xenopus laevis oocytes and pass it on to donor cells placed with eggs in one electroporation chamber. We demonstrated that co-electroporation at 150 v / cm / 25 μF of mature oocytes with ˜105 cells / ml of suspension of various normal and cancerous human cell lines, such as bone marrow stromal cells, foreskin fibroblasts, pre-adipocytes, CD4+ T-lymphocytes, cheek cells, cervical carcinoma (HeLa) cells and breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7) cells, reprograms donor cells into iPSc-like cells, which form colonies on irradiated MEF feeders. The iPSc-like cells generated by this study resemble human embryonic stem cells in colony morphology and expression of stem cell-associated transcription factors, including Oct3 / 4, Nanog, SOX-2, Rex-1, TRA-1-60 and SSEA-1. New method obviates the use of retroviral or lentiviral gene delivery vectors and other “non-parental” reprogramming approaches.
