A Mesenchymal-to-Epithelial Transition Initiates and Is Required for the Nuclear Reprogramming of Mouse Fibroblasts

Li et al. Cell Stem Cell, Volume 7, Issue 1, 51-63, 17 June 2010
10.1016/j.stem.2010.04.014

Highlights:
  • Mouse fibroblast reprogramming involves a mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition
  • Sox2, Oct4, and c-Myc suppress TGF-β signaling
  • Klf4 activates multiple epithelial genes including E-cadherin
  • E-cadherin knockdown impairs reprogramming


R&D Systems used in these studies:
