| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We succeeded in rejuvenating human primed ES/iPS cells to more undifferentiated human naive iPS cells using reprogramming techniques. In this naive process, iPS cells are demethylated. We try to nalyze and clarify the process that is reset from primed typed to naive type ES/iPS cells. Detailed time course and gene expression of resetting from primed type to naive type ES/iPS cells were analyzed. As a result, we developed a method to induce naive ES/iPS cells more efficiently and stably.
In the future, we will compare the findings obtained here with the progression of methylation in somatic stem cells and somatic cells, and apply a method of demethylation we find, which was observed at naive ES/iPS cells and resetting process, to suppress unnecessary methylation.
