RESUMEN

Reprogramming human somatic cells into a pluripotent state, achieved through the activation of well-defined transcriptional factors known as OSKM factors, offers significant potential for regenerative medicine. While OSKM factors are a robust reprogramming method, efficiency remains a challenge, with only a fraction of cells undergoing successful reprogramming. To address this, we explored genes related to genomic integrity and cellular survival, focusing on iPSCs (A53T-PD1) that displayed enhanced colony stability. Our investigation had revealed three candidate genes CCN3, POSTN, and PTHLH that exhibited differential expression levels and potential roles in iPSC stability. Subsequent analyses identified various protein interactions for these candidate genes. POSTN, significantly upregulated in A53T-PD1 iPSC line, showed interactions with extracellular matrix components and potential involvement in Wnt signaling. CCN3, also highly upregulated, demonstrated interactions with TP53, CDKN1A, and factors related to apoptosis and proliferation. PTHLH, while upregulated, exhibited interactions with CDK2 and genes involved in cell cycle regulation. RT-qPCR validation confirmed elevated CCN3 and PTHLH expression in A53T-PD1 iPSCs, aligning with RNA-seq findings. These genes' roles in preserving pluripotency and cellular stability require further exploration. In conclusion, we identified CCN3, POSTN, and PTHLH as potential contributors to genomic integrity and pluripotency maintenance in iPSCs. Their roles in DNA repair, apoptosis evasion, and signaling pathways could offer valuable insights for enhancing reprogramming efficiency and sustaining pluripotency. Further investigations are essential to unravel the mechanisms underlying their actions.

RESUMEN

Although many factors have been identified and used to enhance the iPSC reprogramming process, its efficiency remains quite low. In addition, reprogramming efficacy has been evidenced to be affected by disease mutations that are present in patient samples. In this study, using RNA-seq platform we have identified and validated the differential gene expression of five transcription factors (TFs) (GBX2, NANOGP8, SP8, PEG3, and ZIC1) that were associated with a remarkable increase in the number of iPSC colonies generated from a patient with Parkinson's disease. We have applied different bioinformatics tools (Gene ontology, protein-protein interaction, and signaling pathways analyses) to investigate the possible roles of these TFs in pluripotency and developmental process. Interestingly, GBX2, NANOGP8, SP8, PEG3, and ZIC1 were found to play a role in maintaining pluripotency, regulating self-renewal stages, and interacting with other factors that are involved in pluripotency regulation including OCT4, SOX2, NANOG, and KLF4. Therefore, the TFs identified in this study could be used as additional transcription factors that enhance reprogramming efficiency to boost iPSC generation technology.
