To engineer a stem cell genome, we developed a technology for targeted elimination of chromosomes from mouse embryonic stem (ES)-somatic hybrid cells. Here we demonstrate the use of a universal chromosome elimination cassette (CEC) for elimination of a single embryonic stem cell (ESC)-derived chromosome 11 or 12, and also both copies of chromosome 6, which harbor pluripotency-associated genes including Nanog. We attribute hybrid-cell pluripotency to the expression of Nanog from the reprogrammed somatic-cell nuclei.
为了构建干细胞基因组,我们开发了一种从小鼠胚胎干细胞(ES)-体细胞杂交细胞中靶向消除染色体的技术。在此,我们展示了使用通用染色体消除盒(CEC)来消除单个源自胚胎干细胞(ESC)的11号或12号染色体,以及6号染色体的两个拷贝,6号染色体含有包括Nanog在内的多能性相关基因。我们将杂交细胞的多能性归因于重编程体细胞核中Nanog的表达。
