MiR-25 regulates Wwp2 and Fbxw7 and promotes reprogramming of mouse somatic cells

ABSTRACT: To reprogram mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) to induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs), we constructed the PiggyBac (PB) transposon carrying the four Yamanaka factor cDNAs controlled by a CAG promoter (PB-CAG-OCKS, Oct4, cMyc, Klf4 and Sox2). As the baseline reprogramming control, we transfected the PB-CAG-OCKS transposon into Oct4-reporter MEFs and plated the cells on STO feeder cells (4F-iPS). To examine the effects of miR-25 on reprogramming, in addition to the Yamanaka factors, we co-transfected the PB-CAG-OCKS plasmid with the PB-CAG-miR-25 plasmid and selected for puromycin resistance (2.0 mg/ml) (25-iPS). We then performed genome-wide gene expression microarray analysis on the iPS cells generated and compared the expression profiles to those of Oct4-reporter MEFs and wildtype ES
