hMAGEA2 Regulates Pluripotency, Proliferation and Differentiaton in Induced Pluripotent Stem cell
To investigated the mechanism, induced pluripotent stem cells(iPSC) is important for clinical application and stem cell research. It is well known that hMAGEA2 expression pattern and effect on differentiation in embryonic stem cell but their specific role in iPS cells are unclear. The present study was schemed to understand the function of hMAGEA2 gene in iPS cells and to elucidate its characteristic. Although overexpression of hMAGEA2 in iPS cells are not different on morphology, their pluripotency and self-renewal capacity are significantly strengthened. And hMAGEA2 contributed to promote the cell cycle progression, this cell cycle changes induced proliferation acceleration. Through embryoid body formation in vitro and teratoma formation in vivo, we found that hMAGEA2 critically decreases the differentiation ability in iPS cells. Our results demonstrate that hMAGEA2 intensified the self-renewal, pluripotency, proliferation degree but efficiency of differentiaton is significantly repressed. Our findings provided that hMAGEA2 play a key role of iPS cells.
