RNF1 (RING1A) is a catalytic component of the polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1) involved in regulation of, among others, embryonic development and disease progression. However, the exact role of RNF1 in self-renewal and differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (ESCs) remains unknown. Here, we derive one RNF1 knockout human ESC line using CRISPR/Cas9 system. The cell line retains the canonical stem cell morphology and normal karyotype. Moreover, the cell line highly expresses pluripotency genes and has three germ-layer differentiation potential. The RNF1 -/- cell line will be useful for studies on the function and role of RNF1 in human embryonic stem cell fate decisions.
RNF1(RING1A)是多梳抑制复合物 1(PRC1)的催化亚基,参与胚胎发育和疾病进展等多种调控。然而,RNF1 在人类胚胎干细胞(ESC)自我更新和分化中的确切作用仍不清楚。在这里,我们使用 CRISPR/Cas9 系统获得了一个 RNF1 敲除的人类 ESC 系。该细胞系保持了典型的干细胞形态和正常核型。此外,该细胞系高表达多能性基因,并具有三胚层分化潜能。RNF1 -/-细胞系将有助于研究 RNF1 在人类胚胎干细胞命运决定中的功能和作用。
