| Bioactivity | O4I2 is a potent Oct3/4 inducer. O4I2 induces the expression of pluripotent-associated genes Lin28, Sox2 and Nanog, and suppresses Rex1[1]. | ||||||||||||
| Invitro | O4I2 not only promotes Oct3/4 expression by activating its promoter site, but also stabilize the Oct3/4 protein in HEK293 cells[1].O4I2 markedly stimulates Oct3/4 even at 5 µM after 72 hrs treatment on the translationallevel[1].O4I2 (20 µM) accumulates Oct3/4 in NCCIT occurred already 2 hrs after incubation, while the detectable Sox2 increase appears much later, implicating compound-mediated activation of Oct3/4 might be different between embryonic kidney HEK293 cells and embryonal carcinoma NCCIT cells[1].
