Human spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) have significant applications in reproductive medicine and regenerative medicine because of their great plasticity. Nevertheless, it remains unknown about the functions and mechanisms of long non-coding RNA (LncRNA) in regulating the fate determinations of human SSCs. Here we have demonstrated that LncRNA ACVR2B-as1 (activin A receptor type 2B antisense RNA 1) controls the self-renewal and apoptosis of human SSCs by interaction with ALDOA via glycolysis activity. LncRNA ACVR2B-as1 is highly expressed in human SSCs. LncRNA ACVR2B-as1 silencing suppresses the proliferation and DNA synthesis and enhances the apoptosis of human SSCs. Mechanistically, our ChIRP-MS and RIP assays revealed that ACVR2B-as1 interacted with ALDOA in human SSCs. High expression of ACVR2B-as1 enhanced the proliferation, DNA synthesis, and glycolysis of human SSCs but inhibited their apoptosis through up-regulation of ALDOA. Importantly, overexpression of ALDOA counteracted the effect of ACVR2B-as1 knockdown on the aforementioned biological processes. Collectively, these results indicate that ACVR2B-as1 interacts with ALDOA to control the self-renewal and apoptosis of human SSCs by enhancing glycolysis activity. This study is of great significance because it sheds a novel insight into molecular mechanisms underlying the fate decisions of human SSCs and it may offer innovative approaches to address the etiology of male infertility.
