GENE DELIVERY OF OCT4 AND SIRT1 AND PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS THEREOF

摘要

The present invention provides a method for decreasing the level of methylation of Oct4 promoter in a target cell, comprising transfecting the target cell with the combination of Oct4 cDNA and SirT1 cDNA. The invention also provides a method for inducing cytoprotective responses of a target cell, comprising transfecting the target cell with the combination of Oct4 cDNA and SirT1 cDNA. The invention further provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising Oct4 cDNA and SirT1 cDNA, or a polynucleotide comprising Oct4 cDNA and SirT1 cDNA.
