Reversion to an embryonic alternative splicing program enhances leukemia stem cell self-renewal.
Published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
Formative research suggests that a human embryonic stem cell-specific alternative splicing gene regulatory network, which is repressed by Muscleblind-like (MBNL) RNA binding proteins, is involved in cell reprogramming. In this study, RNA sequencing, splice isoform-specific quantitative RT-PCR, lentiviral transduction, and in vivo humanized mouse mo...
