  • Methods for using bag expression as a cell differentiation agent and marker
    Publication number: 20030175958
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for promoting cell differentiation, which involves modifying a cell to increase expression of a BAG polypeptide that promotes differentiation of a cell, such as a neuronal cell, stem cell or neural progenitor cell. The invention provides another method for promoting cell differentiation, which involves modifying a cell to increase the amount of a nuclear localized BAG polypeptide, when the nuclear localized BAG polypeptide promotes differentiation of the cell. The invention also provides methods for reducing the rate of cell proliferation and suppressing apoptosis. The methods involve modifying a cell to increase the amount of a nuclear localized BAG polypeptide, when the nuclear localized BAG polypeptide inhibits proliferation, or suppresses apoptosis, respectively.
