STEM-LIKE CELLS AND METHOD FOR REPROGRAMMING ADULT MAMMALIAN SOMATIC CELLS
-
, (2010/12/29)
A new use is provided for small molecule inhibitors of Oct4 and Sox 2 as a cellular reprogramming agent and a method of reprogramming adult mammalian somatic cells into stem-like cells is provided, using small molecule inhibitors of Oct4 and Sox 2 without the need of any material derived from embryos or fetuses, and without the need of potentially harmful transfecting vectors. Stem-like cells created by the present invention can be induced to differentiate into terminally differentiated adult somatic cells, such as, for example, neuronal cells.

The recent discovery that small molecule ligands for the peptidyl-prolyl isomerase (PPIase) FKBP12 possess powerful neuroprotective and neuroregenerative properties in vitro and in vivo suggests therapeutic utility for such compounds in neurodegenerative disease. The neurotrophic effects of these compounds are independent of the immunosuppressive pathways by which drugs such as FK506 and rapamycin operate. Previous work by ourselves and other groups exploring the structure-activity relationships (SAR) of small molecules that mimic only the FKBP binding domain portion of FK506 has focused on esters of proline and pipecolic acid. We have explored amide and thioester analogues of these earlier structures and found that they too are extremely potent in promoting recovery of lesioned dopaminergic pathways in a mouse model of Parkinson's disease. Several compounds were shown to be highly effective upon oral administration after lesioning of the dopaminergic pathway, providing further evidence of the potential clinical utility of a variety of structural classes of FKBP12 ligands.
