Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method that includes bringing a nuclear reprogramming substance (DLX4 gene, OCT3/4 gene, and SOX2 gene) into contact with a cell and thereby producing iPS cells.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An in vitro method for producing a candidate colony of induced pluripotent stem cells, comprising: bringing a nuclear reprogramming substance including at least a Distal-less homeobox 4 (DLX4) gene or a translation product thereof, an OCT3/4 gene or a translation product thereof, and a SOX2 gene or a translation product thereof into contact with a dental pulp cell to produce the candidate colony. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the nuclear reprogramming substance further includes a gene in a KLF4 family or a translation product thereof. 3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the gene in the KLF4 family or the translation product thereof is a KLF4 gene or a translation product thereof. 4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the pulp cell is a pulp cell before a stage of completion of tooth root formation. 5. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising: screening the candidate colony using morphological evaluation. 6. An in vitro method for producing a candidate colony of induced pluripotent stem cells, comprising: bringing a nuclear reprogramming substance including at least a DLX4 gene or a translation product thereof, an OCT3/4 gene or a translation product thereof, a SOX2 gene or a translation product thereof, and a KLF4 gene or a translation product thereof into contact with a skin-derived fibroblast to produce the candidate colony. 7. The method according to claim 6 , further comprising: screening the candidate colony using morphological evaluation.
