Abstract

The molecular controls that govern the differentiation of embryonic stem (ES) cells remain poorly understood. DGCR8 is an RNA-binding protein that assists the RNase III enzyme Drosha in the processing of microRNAs (miRNAs), a subclass of small RNAs. Here we study the role of miRNAs in ES cell differentiation by generating a Dgcr8 knockout model. Analysis of mouse knockout ES cells shows that DGCR8 is essential for biogenesis of miRNAs. On the induction of differentiation, DGCR8-deficient ES cells do not fully downregulate pluripotency markers and retain the ability to produce ES cell colonies; however, they do express some markers of differentiation. This phenotype differs from that reported for Dicer1 knockout cells, suggesting that Dicer has miRNA-independent roles in ES cell function. Our findings indicate that miRNAs function in the silencing of ES cell self-renewal that normally occurs with the induction of differentiation.

摘要

目前,人们对调控胚胎干细胞(ES细胞)分化的分子机制仍知之甚少。DGCR8是一种RNA结合蛋白,可协助RNase III酶Drosha加工小RNA的一个亚类——微小RNA(miRNA)。在此,我们通过构建Dgcr8基因敲除模型来研究miRNA在ES细胞分化中的作用。对小鼠基因敲除ES细胞的分析表明,DGCR8对miRNA的生物合成至关重要。在诱导分化时,缺乏DGCR8的ES细胞不能完全下调多能性标志物,并且保留产生ES细胞集落的能力;然而,它们确实表达了一些分化标志物。这种表型与Dicer1基因敲除细胞所报道的不同,表明Dicer在ES细胞功能中具有不依赖于miRNA的作用。我们的研究结果表明,miRNA在ES细胞自我更新的沉默中发挥作用,而这种沉默通常发生在分化诱导过程中。
