Mechanism of Action

Targets/IC₅₀/Ki	Oct4
In vitro	OAC1 at 1 μM enhances reprogramming efficiency by activating both Oct4 and Nanog promoter-driven luciferase reporter genes. Furthermore, this compound enhances the pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) reprogramming efficiency and accelerates the reprogramming process in the quartet reprogramming factors (Oct4, Sox2, c-Myc, and Klf4) treated mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs). The iPSC colonies derived using it along with the quartet factors exhibits typical ESC morphology, gene-expression pattern, and developmental potential. It seems to enhance reprogramming efficiency via increasing transcription of the Oct4-Nanog-Sox2 triad and Tet1, a gene known to be involved in DNA demethylation. While it doesn’t inhibit the p53-p21 pathway or activate the Wnt-β-catenin signaling. This chemical may be used to enhance the reprogramming of somatic cells to a pluripotent state.
