Defining master transcription factors governing somatic and cancer stem cell identity is an important goal. Here we show that the Oct4 paralog Oct1, a transcription factor implicated in stress responses, metabolic control, and poised transcription states, regulates normal and pathologic stem cell function. Oct1HI cells in the colon and small intestine co-express known stem cell markers. In primary malignant tissue, high Oct1 protein but not mRNA levels strongly correlate with the frequency of CD24LOCD44HI cancer-initiating cells. Reducing Oct1 expression via RNAi reduces the proportion of ALDHHI and dye effluxHI cells, and increasing Oct1 increases the proportion of ALDHHI cells. Normal ALDHHI cells harbor elevated Oct1 protein but not mRNA levels. Functionally, we show that Oct1 promotes tumor engraftment frequency and promotes hematopoietic stem cell engraftment potential in competitive and serial transplants. In addition to previously described Oct1 transcriptional targets, we identify four Oct1 targets associated with the stem cell phenotype. Cumulatively, the data indicate that Oct1 regulates normal and cancer stem cell function. Understanding the mechanisms that control stem cell function is a fundamental prerequisite both for the full application of stem cells to regenerative medicine and for a full understanding of the relationship between stem cells and cancer. In this study we show that a transcription factor known as Oct1 is a central regulator of normal and cancer stem cell function. We show that high Oct1 levels are associated with stem cells in multiple normal and malignant settings. Altering Oct1 expression, up or down, correspondingly alters multiple stem cell parameters, as well as stem cell function. We highlight known and identify new target genes Oct1 binds to that are consistent with a role in stem cell function.
