Description: Pluripotin, also known as SC-1, is a potent and selective activator of murine embryonic stem (ES) cell self-renewal. Pluripotin is a useful tool for studying cancer stem cell biology. Pluripotin enhances the expansion of rabbit limbal epithelial stem/progenitor cells in vitro. Pluripotin works through dual inhibition of RasGAP and ERK1. Pluripotin may not only facilitate practical applications of stem cells in research and therapy, but also provide previously undescribed insights into the complex biology of stem cells.

More Info:

Biological target: Pluripotin is a dual inhibitor of ERK1 and RasGAP with KDs of 98 nM and 212 nM, respectively as well as inhibiting RSK1, RSK2, RSK3, and RSK4 with IC50s of 0.5, 2.5, 3.3, and 10.0 µM, respectively
In vitro activity: Because enhanced clonogenic capacity in soft agar has been linked to CSC derived from patient CNS and prostate tumors, it was of interest to evaluate if SC-1 treated colon tumor lines were similarly affected. The 3 tumor lines with the largest SC-1 induced tumor formation (COLO 205, HCT-116, and HT29) had significant increases in cloning efficiencies (Figure 2A, n = 3, paired Student’s t test, p = 0.001 (COLO 205, HCT-116) and p = 0.01 (HT29)) as did HCC-2998 and KM12 tumor lines. It is notable that all tumor lines had increased cloning efficiency following SC-1 treatment if the assay was conducted using Matrigel instead of soft agar (data not shown). Thus, SC-1 is found to enhance colony formation in vitro. Additionally, a statistically significant increase in the number of cells expressing the CD133 glycosylated epitope was found for the HT29 tumor line following SC-1 treatment (Figure 2B, n = 3, paired two tailed Student’s t test, p = 0.003, mean±s.e.m, control treated: 11.6±3.7% positive, SC-1 treated: 27.6±3.6% positive). In the SW-620 tumor line, the CD44 subpopulation was increased following treatment with SC-1 (Figure 2B, n = 3, paired Student’s t test, p = 0.03, mean±s.e.m., control treated: 39.6±8.5% positive, SC-1 treated: 74.1±13.4% positive). No increased expression of the putative CSC markers was evident for the COLO 205 tumor line (a SC-1 sensitive tumor line). No changes in CD326 and CD166 surface expression were observed for any of the tumor lines. Thus, change in expression of certain CSC surface markers occurred following SC-1 treatment in colon tumor lines varied with the tumor line.

In vivo activity: FES cells were selected from one of the C57BL/6 lines cultured in SC1-supplemented medium. These cells were alkaline phosphatase positive (Fig. 5D), expressed ES specific markers and are negative for the fibroblast marker fibrillin-2 (Fig. 5E–5G). The slight changes of colony morphology associated with SC1 were also noticed when we switched iPS cells from control ES medium to SC1-containing medium (Fig. 5C). We found that cells cultured in SC1-supplemented medium formed significantly more implantation sites in the 4N complementation tests (Table 2). In addition, more fES-4N, ntES-4N or iPS-4N full-term pups were generated from cells cultured in SC1-containing medium, although significant improvement was found only in the ntES cell group.SC1-supplementation is better for ES cell maintenance and in vivo developmental potentials. In summary, we demonstrated that all three types of pluripotent stem cells of the C57BL/6 background could generate full-term pups with high efficiency when cultured with SC1 (Table 2).
