新华网伦敦８月９日电（记者 黄堃）将普通皮肤细胞转化为诱导多功能干细胞（ｉＰＳ细胞）再进行克隆等研究，是近年来干细胞研究的热点领域，但是该领域一直受到细胞转化率太低的制约。英国《自然》杂志网站９日发表最新科研报告说，科学家发现，通过基因路径阻断可以将这一转化的成功率提高约百倍。

2 O% N6 z5 v* LInduced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells can be generated from somatic cells by the introduction of Oct3/4 (also known as Pou5f1), Sox2, Klf4 and c-Myc, in mouse1, 2, 3, 4 and in human5, 6, 7, 8. The efficiency of this process, however, is low9. Pluripotency can be induced without c-Myc, but with even lower efficiency10, 11. A p53 (also known as TP53 in humans and Trp53 in mice) short-interfering RNA (siRNA) was recently shown to promote human iPS cell generation12, but the specificity and mechanisms remain to be determined. Here we report that up to 10% of transduced mouse embryonic fibroblasts lacking p53 became iPS cells, even without the Myc retrovirus. The p53 deletion also promoted the induction of integration-free mouse iPS cells with plasmid transfection. Furthermore, in the p53-null background, iPS cells were generated from terminally differentiated T lymphocytes. The suppression of p53 also increased the efficiency of human iPS cell generation. DNA microarray analyses identified 34 p53-regulated genes that are common in mouse and human fibroblasts. Functional analyses of these genes demonstrate that the p53–p21 pathway serves as a barrier not only in tumorigenicity, but also in iPS cell generation.

最近好像nature对iPS比较青睐哈！！！

谢海洋！

我们目前所从事的工作都是在质上下功夫，如果能在量上多下功夫，控制P53抑制的效率，使其适当表达，一定会得到较好的效果！
