Sentenece the gene occurs

26096152Somatic cells can be reprogrammed into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) by the forced expression of the transcription factors OCT4, SOX2, KLF4 and c-MYC
25515777The acquisition of pluripotent cells can be achieved by combined overexpression of transcription factors Oct4, Klf4, Sox2 and c-Myc in somatic cells
24788960Oxidative DNA damage causes premature senescence in mouse embryonic fibroblasts deficient for Kruppel-like factor 4
24788960Kruppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) is a zinc-finger-containing transcription factor with tumor suppressor activity in various cancer types
24788960Recently, we found that mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) null for Klf4 are genetically unstable, as evidenced by the presence of DNA DSBs
24788960However, it is yet unknown whether KLF4 is involved in regulating oxidative stress-induced DNA damage
24788960With SA-beta-Gal staining, we show that Klf4(-/-) MEFs enter senescence earlier than Klf4(+/+) MEFs, and western blot shows accumulation of p21 and p53 with increasing passages
24788960In addition, immunostaining against gamma-H2AX indicates that the increased level of DNA damage in Klf4(-/-) MEFs positively correlates with ROS accumulation
24788960Our RT-PCR result demonstrates that Klf4(-/-) MEFs have decreased expression of the antioxidant gene, Gsta4
24788960Together these findings suggest a mechanism by which KLF4 protects against DNA damage and oxidative stress at least in part through the regulation of Gsta4 and likely related genes
24763337Introduction of "reprogramming factors", Oct4, Sox2, Klf4, cMyc and Lin28, into senescent fibroblasts and measuring the changes in HP1beta mobility as reprogramming proceeds shows that the mobility of HP1beta in senescent cells increases and by day 9 is the same as that found in young fibroblasts
23696417A chimeric luciferase reporter system was generated, tagged with the full-length 3'-UTR region of KLF4 harboring the seed-matched sequence with or without four nucleotide mutations
23696417The luciferase activity was significantly repressed by the miR-10a mimic, proving the direct binding of miR-10a to the 3'-UTR of KLF4
23696417Direct suppression of KLF4 in aged hMSCs increased cell differentiation and decreased cell senescence
23696417In conclusion, miR-10a restores the differentiation capability of aged hMSCs through repression of KLF4
23318426Here we demonstrate that the introduction of defined reprogramming factors (OCT4, SOX2, Klf4 and c-Myc) into MCF-10A nontumorigenic mammary epithelial cells, followed by partial differentiation, transforms the bulk of cells into tumorigenic CD44(+)/CD24(low) cells with CSC properties, termed here as induced CSC-like-10A or iCSCL-10A cells
22683798Two hiPSC lines, hiPSC (1) and hiPSC (2) were generated from human dermal fibroblasts using OCT-4, SOX-2, KLF-4, c-Myc via retroviral-based reprogramming
18668528Recently, isolation of patient-specific induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells was achieved by transducing fibroblasts with four transcription factors, Oct4, Sox2, Klf4, and c-Myc
