Diagram and molecular mechanisms underlying the ICE mouse models. a left, the Inducible Change to the Epigenome (ICE) system. In this gene-engineering mouse model, recombined protein of endonuclease I-PpoI and Cre-ERT2 is under control of tamoxifen. If tamoxifen is added, I-PpoI will enter nucleus to create DNA double strand break which then will be repaired through faithful DNA repair pathway. right, aging phenotypes of ICE models. b Epigenetic landscapes changes in ICE model, including the erosion of H3K27ac, remodeling chromatin contact, and aberrant super enhancers. c The diagram of cell rejuvenation. Briefly, overexpression Oct4/Sox2/Klf4 in ICE/old mouse cells can recover youthful cell transcriptome
