“…Similar to nuclear transfer, some maternal factors, such as TH2A and TH2B (Shinagawa et al, 2014), can promote iPSCs reprogramming. Also, the activity of endogenous retrovirus HERVH was shown to have connection with pluripotency of human iPSCs (Ohnuki et al, 2014). Notably, that the maternal unmethylated Dlk1-Dio3 region would turn methylation during iPSC reprogramming, which may be caused by disorder of c-Myc and/or Gtl2 (Das et al, 2015), is a key reason for loss of capability of tetraploid embryo complementation Stadtfeld et al, 2010).…”
