Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells | ATCC

Mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) were first isolated and propagated in culture in 1981. mESCs are typically isolated from blastocysts from the inner cell mass of 3.5-day-old embryos and have the potential to generate every cell type found in the body. They can be maintained in an undifferentiated, pluripotent state…

AHCY plays multiple roles in maintaining the identity and pluripotency of mouse embryonic stem cells

Adenosylhomocysteinase (AHCY), a key enzyme in the methionine cycle, is essential for the development of embryos and the maintenance of mESCs. However, the precise underlying mechanism of Ahcy in regulating pluripotency remains unclear. As the only enzyme that can hydrolyze S-adenosylhomocysteine in mammals, AHCY plays a critical role in the…

Optimized protocol to prevent disease transmission through maternal mitochondrial DNA carryover

Several human diseases arise due to defects in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), which is distinct from nuclear DNA and is inherited only from maternal ancestors. The prevention of these diseases by mitochondrial replacement (MR) therapy involves the risk of increasing mtDNA mutations, which can subsequently lead to mitochondrial genetic drift. A…

High-quality single-cell transcriptomics from ovarian histological sections during folliculogenesis

Introduction Single-cell RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) was first achieved by using a quantitative cDNA amplification method and applied to mouse oocytes (Kurimoto et al, 2006; Tang et al, 2009). It has since provided unprecedented opportunities for the study of cellular differentiations, states, and diseases in various biological fields, including developmental biology,…

A multi-omics integrative analysis based on CRISPR screens re-defines the pluripotency regulatory network in ESCs

Genome-scale CRISPR screen to identify regulators that maintain mESC pluripotency To establish a function-based PGRN, we first performed a CRISPR-Cas9 mediated genome-wide screen to detect genes essential for self-renewal. mESCs were cultured under Leukaemia inhibitory factors (LIF)/serum condition (L/S), which was commonly used in similar tasks and confer a naïve…

Acetylation of histone H2B marks active enhancers and predicts CBP/p300 target genes

Multiple H2BNTac sites occupy the same genomic regions H2BNTac sites are similarly regulated by CBP/p30018 (Supplementary Fig. 1a), yet the reported genome occupancy patterns of H2BNTac sites are dissimilar from each other22,23 (Supplementary Note 1). To resolve this conundrum, we systematically compared H3K27ac and H2BNTac genomic occupancy and regulation by…

Genome-wide 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) reassigned in Pten-depleted mESCs along neural differentiation

DNA methylation and hydroxymethylation have been implicated in the regulatory dynamics of gene expression in normal development and differentiation. 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), created by the ten-eleven translocation (TET) protein-catalyzed oxidation of 5-methylcytosine (5mC), is abundant in the brain, but the genome-wide distribution and impact of 5hmC during diverse neuronal differentiation remain…

Absolute Scaling of Single-Cell Transcriptomes Reveals Pervasive Hypertranscription in Adult Stem and Progenitor Cells

Introduction Single cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) is a powerful tool to measure gene expression in individual cells. While relative gene expression differences are currently analyzed with great interest in single cell data, differences in total transcript levels were mainly considered technical artefacts and removed during normalization, assuming that single cells contain…

p57 Suppresses the Pluripotency and Proliferation of Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells by Positively Regulating p53 Activation

Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are pluripotent stem cells that have indefinite self-renewal capacities under appropriate culture conditions in vitro. The pluripotency maintenance and proliferation of these cells are delicately governed by the concert effect of a complex transcriptional regulatory network. Herein, we discovered that p57Kip2 (p57), a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor…
