Somatic cells can be reprogrammed into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) in vitro. Previously, a lentivirus induction strategy of introducing Oct4, Sox2, Nanog and Lin28 (OSNL) into the iPSC process has been shown as a possible way to produce chicken iPSCs from chicken embryonic fibroblasts, but the induction efficiency of this method was found to be significantly limiting. In order to help resolve this efficiency obstacle, this study seeks to clarify the associated regulation mechanisms and optimizes the reprogramming strategy of chicken iPSCs. This study showed that glycolysis and the expression of glycolysis-related genes correlate with a more efficient reprogramming process. At the same time, the transcription factors Oct4, Sox2 and Nanog were found to activate the expression of glycolysis-related genes. In addition, we introduced two small-molecule inhibitors (2i-SP) as a “glycolysis activator” together with the OSNL cocktail, and found that this significantly improved the induction efficiency of the iPSC process. As such, the study identifies direct molecular connections between core pluripotency factors and glycolysis during the chicken iPSC induction process and, with its results, provides a theoretical basis and technical support for chicken somatic reprogramming.

Background: Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent, thus capable of differentiating into all types of cells derived from the three germ layers. However, the application of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) for preclinical and clinical studies is difficult due to ethical concerns. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are derived from differentiation and have many ESC characteristics. The study herein examines the production of iPSCs from reprogramming of mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) via transduction with defined factors.  Methods: MEFs were collected from mouse embryos via a previously published protocol. The cells were transduced with a single polycistronic viral vector encoding mouse cDNAs of Oct3/4, Sox2, Klf4 and c-Myc. Transduced cells were treated and sub- cultured with ESC medium. The cells were evaluated as iPSCs with specific morphology, and expression SSEA-1, Oct3/4, Sox2 and Nanog. In addition, they were also evaluated for pluripotency by assessing alkaline phosphatase (AP) activity and in vivo teratoma formation.  Results: Under the reprogrammed conditions, the transduced cells displayed a change in morphology, forming ESC-like clusters. These cell clusters strongly expressed pluripotent markers as well as ESC-specific genes. Furthermore, the colonies exhibited higher AP activity and formed teratomas when injected into the murine testis.  Conclusion: The study herein suggests that MEFs can be reprogrammed into iPSCs using a polycistronic viral vector encoding mouse cDNAs for Oct3/4, Sox2, Klf4 and c- Myc
