physiological function | sphingosine phosphate lyase knockdown via short hairpin RNA in embryonic stem cells shows a 5fold increase in cellular sphingosine 1-phosphate levels, increased proliferation rates and high expression of cell surface pluripotency markers SSEA1 and OCT4 compared to vector control cells. Knockdown cells show robust activation of STAT3 and a 10fold increase in S1P2 expression. Inhibition of S1P2 or STAT3 reverses the proliferation and pluripotency phenotypes of knockdown cells. Inhibition of S1P2 attenuates, in a dose-dependent fashion, the high levels of OCT4 and STAT3 activation. Knockdown cells are capable of generating embryoid bodies from which muscle stem cells, called satellite cells, can be isolated | Mus musculus |
