Impact of transient down-regulation of DREAM in human embryonic stem cell pluripotency: The role of DREAM in the maintenance of hESCs

Little is knownabout the functions of downstreamregulatory element antagonist modulator (DREAM) inembryonic stem cells (ESCs). However, DREAM interacts with cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB) in a Ca2+-dependent manner, preventing CREB binding protein (CBP) recruitment. Furthermore, CREB a...

Sumario:Little is knownabout the functions of downstreamregulatory element antagonist modulator (DREAM) inembryonic stem cells (ESCs). However, DREAM interacts with cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB) in a Ca2+-dependent manner, preventing CREB binding protein (CBP) recruitment. Furthermore, CREB and CBP are involved in maintaining ESC self-renewal and pluripotency. However, a previous knockout study revealed the protective function of DREAMdepletion in brain aging degeneration and that aging is accompanied by a progressive decline in stem cells (SCs) function. Interestingly, we found that DREAM is expressed in different cell types, including human ESCs (hESCs), human adipose-derived stromal cells (hASCs), human bone marrow-derived stromal cells (hBMSCs), and human newborn foreskin fibroblasts (hFFs), and that transitory inhibition of DREAMin hESCs reduces their pluripotency, increasing differentiation.We stipulate that these changes are partly mediated by increased CREB transcriptional activity. Overall, our data indicates that DREAMacts in the regulation of hESC pluripotency and could be a target to promote or prevent differentiation in embryonic cells.
