Stem Cell Reprogramming & Differentiation

Stem cell reprogramming and differentiation reagents are small molecules that steer cell identity in culture. Chemical cocktails can replace or support transcription factors when somatic cells are reprogrammed into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Frequent components include the histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor valproic acid and the lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) inhibitor tranylcypromine. RepSox blocks the transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) type I receptor and can replace the transcription factor Sox2. Inhibition of glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK-3) with CHIR-99021 and of MAP kinase kinase (MEK) with PD0325901 keeps mouse embryonic stem cells in the ground state. Differentiation protocols use retinoic acid, the Hedgehog pathway agonists SAG and purmorphamine, and IDE1 for definitive endoderm.

  • RepSox hydrochloride
    Cat. No.
    A34556

    RepSox hydrochloride

    Synonyms: E-616452 hydrochloride; SJN 2511 hydrochloride

    RepSox hydrochloride is a highly selective inhibitor of transforming growth factor-β receptor I (TGF-β-RI) and activin-like kinase 5 (ALK5). It effectively inhibits ALK5 autophosphorylation with an IC50 value of 4 nM. This reagent is valuable for investigating the roles of TGF-β signaling in obesity and metabolic disorders, including type 2 diabetes.

  • Tranylcypromine
    Cat. No.
    A79138

    Tranylcypromine

    Synonyms: SKF 385

    Tranylcypromine is a potent monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor that increases levels of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine in the brain. This compound is primarily used in the research of mood disorders and depression therapies, offering insights into the biochemical pathways involved in these conditions. Its specific mechanism of action makes it valuable for studying the modulation of neurotransmitter systems and the pharmacological effects of MAO inhibition.
