Disease relevance of NANOGP8

  • Roles of the Nanog protein in murine F9 embryonal carcinoma cells and their endoderm-differentiated counterparts [1].
 

High impact information on NANOGP8

  • Furthermore, transfection of a constitutive active Mek mutant into ES cells induced Nanog repression and primitive endoderm differentiation [2].
  • These new data support a model wherein Tcf3-mediated control of Nanog levels allows stem cells to balance the creation of lineage-committed and undifferentiated cells [3].
  • Chromatin immunoprecipitation and promoter reporter assays showed that Tcf3 bound to a promoter regulatory region of the Nanog gene and repressed its transcriptional activity in ESC through a Groucho interaction domain-dependent process [3].
  • Of interest, addition of the tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor, sodium vanadate, selectively repressed Nanog transcription without any detectable changes in upstream transcriptional regulators Oct3/4 and Sox2 [2].
  • Indeed, PD98059 prevented Nanog repression induced by ES cell aggregation as well [2].
 

Biological context of NANOGP8

 

Anatomical context of NANOGP8

  • In this study, we found that NANOGP8 was expressed in several cancer cell lines and in all cancer tissues tested [5].
  • Analysis of distinct Mus species suggests that NanogPc and NanogPd arose between divergence of M. caroli and M. spretus and indicates that Nanog retrotransposition events continue to occur at a high frequency, a property likely to extend to other germ-line transcripts [6].
