Abstract

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have the potential to differentiate into any cell in the body and thus have attractive regenerative medicine potential. Current iPSC generation protocols, however, have low efficiency and show variable quality among clones. This variability influences the efficiency and reproducibility of iPSC differentiation. Our previous study reported that MYC proteins (c-MYC and MYCL) are important for the reprogramming efficiency and germline transmission of iPSCs, but that MYCL can generate iPSC colonies more efficiently than c-MYC. However, why c-MYC and MYCL cause different reprogramming efficiencies is unknown. In this study, we found that MYC Box 0 (MB0) and MB2, two functional domains conserved in the MYC protein family, contribute to the phenotypic difference and promote iPSC generation in MYCL-induced reprogramming. Proteome analysis suggested that in MYCL-induced reprogramming, cell adhesion-related cytoskeletal proteins are regulated by the MB0 domain, while RNA processes are regulated by the MB2 domain. These findings provide a molecular explanation for why MYCL has higher reprogramming efficiency than c-MYC.

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.
