Reprogramming somatic cells to induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells has been accomplished by expressing pluripotency factors and oncogenes, but the low frequency and tendency to induce malignant transformation compromise the clinical utility of this powerful approach. We address both issues by investigating the mechanisms limiting reprogramming efficiency in somatic cells. We show that reprogramming factors can activate the p53 pathway. Reducing signaling to p53 by expressing a mutated version of one of its negative regulators, by deleting or silencing p53 or its target gene, p21, or by antagonizing apoptosis enhanced three factor (Oct4/Sox2/Klf4)-mediated reprogramming of mouse fibroblasts. Notably, decreasing p53 protein levels enabled fibroblasts to give rise to iPS cells capable of generating germline transmitting chimeric mice using only Oct4 and Sox2. Furthermore, silencing of p53 significantly increased the reprogramming efficiency of human somatic cells. These results provide insights into reprogramming mechanisms and suggest new routes to more efficient reprogramming while minimizing the use of oncogenes.
