... and decreasing the upregulation of epithelial markers. On the other hand, ALKBH5 overexpression at the early reprogramming phase has no significant impact on reprogramming efficiency, whereas overexpression at the late phase enhances reprogramming by stabilizing Nanog transcripts, resulting in upregulated Nanog...

... in ES cells and interacted with Myc followed by attenuation of the transcriptional activity of Myc. Knockdown of TRIM6 in ES cells enhanced the transcriptional activity of Myc and repressed expression of NANOG, resulting in the promotion of ES cell differentiation. These findings indicate that TRIM6...

...Silvia Parisi; Fabiana Passaro; Luigi Aloia; Ichiro Manabe; Ryozo Nagai; Lucio Pastore; Tommaso Russo Self-renewal of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) is maintained by a complex regulatory mechanism involving transcription factors Oct3/4 (Pou5f1), Nanog and Sox2. Here, we report that Klf5, a Zn-finger...

..., it facilitated the differentiation of ESC-derived primitive endoderm cells into visceral and parietal endoderm cells. This event was inhibited by the forced expression of Nanog, a negative regulator of differentiation of ESCs into the ExE. Although Sox17 –/– ESCs could differentiate into primitive endoderm cells...

... of the human genome that contains clustered pluripotency genes including NANOG , has a more central nuclear localisation in ES cells than in differentiated cells. On chromosome 6p we find no overall change in nuclear chromosome position, but instead we detect a relocalisation of the OCT4 locus, to a position...

..., in the presence of leukemia inhibitory factor/STAT3 and serum/BMP4, which were considered to be sufficient for embryonic stem cell self-renewal. Interestingly, cell aggregation by itself induced Nanog repression at the outer layer, which was essential for aggregation-induced primitive endoderm formation...
