Generation of human embryonc stem-like cells using intronic RNA

ActiveUS20080293143A1Stable and relatively long-term effectDelivery stabilityOther foreign material introduction processesElectrical/wave energy microorganism treatmentReprogrammingMammal
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.

Plant having reduced lignin and cellulose contents without reducing glucan content, method of producing the same and utilization thereof

By inhibiting the function of a transcription factor that promotes transcription of a gene associated with the amounts of lignin and cellulose, a plant in which the amounts of lignin and cellulose are reduced without reducing the amount of glucan is produced. In this plant, glucan in the obtained cell wall components is in the state of highly easily undergoing saccharification. In this plant, moreover, natural dehiscence of pods is suppressed. A method of inhibiting the transcription factor includes a method in which a chimeric gene between a transcription factor gene and a polynucleotide that encodes a functional peptide capable of converting the transcription factor into a transcription repressor is introduced into a plant cell so that a chimeric protein in which the transcription factor is fused with the functional peptide is produced in a plant cell, and a method of inhibiting the expression of the transcription factor, such as knockout method or RNAi method. Thus, a plant in which the amounts of lignin and cellulose are reduced without reducing the amount of glucan is provided.

Molecular regulatory circuits to achieve sustained activation of genes of interest by a single stress

InactiveUS20050191659A1VectorsVirusesRegulatory circuitHeat Stress Transcription Factors
The exposure of cells, tissues and organs to “stress,” such as elevated temperature, stimulates production of active heat stress transcription factors (HSF), which in turn, induce expression of genes regulated by stress promoters. Normally, the activity of stress promoters declines after cells, tissues and organs are returned to a normal condition. The present invention relates to molecular circuits that provide for sustained expression of a gene of interest subsequent to a single application of stress. Generally, the molecular circuits of the invention comprise (a) a first nucleic acid molecule that comprises a gene encoding a transcription factor and a first promoter or a combination promoter activatable by stress and by the transcription factor, wherein the first promoter or the combination promoter and the transcription factor gene are operably linked, and (b) a second nucleic acid molecule that comprises a gene of interest and a second promoter activatable by the transcription factor, wherein the second promoter and the gene of interest are operably linked.
