Abstract

Significance: In this study, we found that human endogenous retoriviruses type-H (HERV-Hs) are transiently hyperactivated during reprogramming toward induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and play important roles in this process. However, when reprogramming is complete and cells acquire full pluripotency, HERV-H activity should decrease to levels comparable with those in embryonic stem cells because failure to resilence this activity leads to the differentiation-defective phenotype in neural lineage. We also found that during reprogramming, reprogramming factors, including POU class 5 homeobox 1 (OCT3/4), sex determining region Y-box 2 (SOX2), and Krüppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) (OSK) bind to and activate long-terminal repeats of HERV-Hs. KLF4 possibly precludes Tripartite motif containing 28 and recruits not only OCT3/4 and SOX2, but also E1A binding protein p300 (p300) histone acethyltransferase on HERV-H loci. Therefore, OKSM-induced HERV-H activation constitutes an unanticipated and critical mechanism for iPSC formation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
