Effect of Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) on Mouse Embryos Preimplantational Development
It is known that the in vitro culture (IVC) of preimplantation embryos is associated with changes in gene expression. It is however, not known if the method of fertilization affects the global pattern of gene expression.

The roles of long noncoding RNAs in the regulation of OCT4 expression
OCT4 is a major transcription factor that maintains the pluripotency of stem cells, including embryonic stem cells, induced pluripotent stem cells and cancer stem cells. An increasing number of long noncoding RNAs have been reported to participate in the

Transcriptional Regulation of Nanog by OCT4 and SOX2 [PDF]
Nanog, Sox2, and Oct4 are transcription factors all essential to maintaining the pluripotent embryonic stem cell phenotype. Through a cooperative interaction, Sox2 and Oct4 have previously been described to drive pluripotent-specific expression of a number of genes. We now extend the list of Sox2-Oct4 target genes to include Nanog.

Targeting aggressive cancer stem cells in glioblastoma
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and fatal type of primary brain tumor. Gliosarcoma (GSM) is a rarer and more aggressive variant of GBM that has recently been considered a potentially different disease.

NBMA Promotes Spermatogenesis by Mediating Oct4 Pathway [PDF]
AbstractNon‐obstructive azoospermia is one of the most common causes of male infertility, but there is still no specific treatment drug. Given that the Oct4 (Octamer‐binding transcription factor 4) has an important regulatory effect on spermatogenesis, activating it can effectively promote spermatogenesis, so it is of great value to develop Oct4 ...

OCT4: A penetrant pluripotency inducer
Native OCT4 protein has the intrinsic ability of crossing cellular membranes to enter cells. This finding could revive efforts to induce pluripotency with proteins replacing nucleic acid-based approaches, and raises the intriguing question as to whether OCT4 can act non-cell-autonomously.

FUS-dependent loading of SUV39H1 to OCT4 pseudogene-lncRNA programs a silencing complex with OCT4 promoter specificity [PDF]
AbstractThe resurrection of pseudogenes during evolution produced lncRNAs with new biological function. Here we show that pseudogene-evolution created an Oct4 pseudogene lncRNA that is able to direct epigenetic silencing of the parental Oct4 gene via a 2-step, lncRNA dependent mechanism.

Higher LSD1 in Non-Seminomatous Germ Cell Tumors and LSD1 Inhibition by NCL1 Suppresses Embryonal Carcinoma Growth. [PDF]
LSD1 expression was higher in non‐seminomatous than in seminomatous testicular germ cell tumor components. In embryonal carcinoma models, selective LSD1 inhibition by NCL1 induced epigenetic and apoptotic responses, reduced viability including in cisplatin‐adapted cells, and suppressed early xenograft outgrowth, supporting LSD1 as a potential ...
