主 题:embryonic stem cell and germ cell specific protein(ESGP)gene embryonic stem cell Oct-4 self-renewal
摘 要:Several putative Oct-4 downstream genes from mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells have beenidentified using the suppression-subtractive hybridization *** this study,one of the novel genesencoding an ES cell and germ cell specific protein (ESGP) was cloned by rapid amplification of cDNA *** contains 801 bp encoding an 84 amino acid small protein and has no significant homology to anyknown *** is a signal peptide at the N-terminal of ESGP protein as predicted by SeqWeb (GCG)(SeqWeb version 2.0.2,http://***:8080/).The result of immunofluorescence assay suggestedthat ESGP might encode a secretory *** expression pattern of ESGP is consistent with the expres-sion of Oct-4 during embryonic *** protein was detected in fertilized oocyte,from 3.5 daypostcoital (dpc) blastocyst to 17.5 dpc embryo,and was only detected in testis and ovary tissues in ***,ESGP was only expressed in pluripotent cell lines,such as embryonic stem cells,embryonic carcinomacells and embryonic germ cells,but not in their differentiated *** its specific expression,forced expression of ESGP is not indispensable for the effect of Oct-4 on ES cell self-renewal,and does notaffect the differentiation to three germ layers.
