6 In Yamanaka’s experiment in 2009, the tumor formation rate is 30% among 100 mice transplanted with iPS cells, much higher than norman ES cells. That’s due to: Reactivation of transcription factor c-Myc, also an oncogene Wrong insertion of viral vectors

Normally differentiated cells
SELECTIVE KILLING
Undifferentiated ips cells & cancer cells
WHAT IS NEEDED?
Signal: endogenous and distinguishing molecular markers Pre-transcriptional level Post-transcriptional level Sensor:
to sense the signal and determine the expression of suicide gene
A model:
- ne type of somatic cell which
represent the normally differentiated cells in our project Sensor Killer Switch
Design ign & Results ts 13
Strategy A : Pre-transcriptional level
Signals: transcription factors epigenetic modifications, etc Sensor: tissue-specific promoter
However…
Escape of cancer cells: Tissue-specific promoters cannot be universally activated in all types of cancer cells, which may all be differentiated from iPS cells.
Wanted cells Unwanted cells iPS cells Suicide gene Tissue-specific Promoter
Sensor Killer Switch
Design ign & Results ts 14
Strategy B : Post-transcriptional level
Signals: tissue-specific miRNA Sensor: miRNA binding targets on mRNA
Suicide gene miRNA targets mRNA miRNA Suicide gene miRNA targets mRNA
Wanted cells Unwanted cells mRNA degradation Suicide gene expression
