In vivo partial reprogramming in 4F mice

Partial reprogramming by expression of reprogramming factors (Oct4, Sox2, Klf4 and cMyc) for short periods of time restores a youthful epigenetic signature to aging cells and extends the lifespan of a premature aging mouse model. However, the effects of longer-term partial reprogramming in physiologically aging wild-type mice are unknown. Here, we have performed various long-term partial reprogramming regimens, including different onset timings, during physiological aging in different mouse strains. n=239 tissues from mice. The study involves different conditions (treated and untreated samples) and leads to 7 groups: 1) Black6 mouse +Doxocycline 2) 4 factor mouse+1 month of Doxocycline. 3) 4F mice+7month of Dox 4) 4F+10 months of Dox 5) 4F mice which are relatively old 6) B6 mice that are relatively old 7) 4F mice which are relatively young. n=168 mouse tissues (liver, spleen, skeletal muscle, lung).
