    摘要:

    为阐明RNA结合蛋白25(RBM25)在小鼠胚胎干细胞(mESCs)命运转换中的作用及其分子机制,采用短发夹RNA(shRNA)构建Rbm25稳定敲低细胞系,并结合公开的RNA-seq/CUT&Tag数据、生物信息学分析、qRT-PCR、Western blot、碱性磷酸酶染色、2C::tdTomato报告系统、CUT&Tag-qPCR及双荧光素酶报告试验,系统评估Rbm25在多能性维持和2C-like程序激活中的功能。结果表明:Rbm25下调后,mESCs集落形态异常,碱性磷酸酶活性明显降低,Oct4GiP报告信号下降,核心多能性基因Oct4、Sox2、Klf4和Nanog在转录和蛋白水平的表达均明显降低;与此同时,Gata3、Gata4、Gata6、Foxa2、Cdx2和Wnt9a等分化相关基因上调,MERVL、Zscan4、Tcstv1、Tcstv3、Zfp352和Sp110等2C阶段特异性基因明显激活,2C-like细胞比例明显增加。RBM25可直接富集于Rnf2、Pcgf6、Max和Mga等PRC1.6关键亚基基因的启动子区域,并增强其启动子活性,当Rbm25缺失时,这些亚基表达下调,提示PRC1.6对2C转录程序的抑制能力被削弱。综上,RBM25不仅是维持mESCs多能性的重要调控因子,也是限制mESCs向2C-like状态转换的关键分子,其作用机制与转录激活PRC1.6复合物核心组分密切相关。

    Abstract:

    To learn about the role of RNA-binding protein 25(RBM25) in cell-fate regulation of mouse embryonic stem cells(mESCs), this study established a stable Rbm25-knockdown mESC line using shRNA and systematically evaluated its function in pluripotency maintenance and 2-cell-like(2C-like) conversion by integrating public RNA-seq/CUT&Tag datasets, bioinformatic analyses, qRT-PCR, Western blot, alkaline phosphatase staining, a 2C::tdTomato reporter system, CUT&Tag-qPCR, and dual-luciferase assays. The results showed that Rbm25 depletion disrupted colony morphology and alkaline phosphatase activity, reduced Oct4GiP reporter positivity, and markedly decreased the transcriptional and protein expression of the core pluripotency genes Oct4, Sox2, Klf4, and Nanog. And, differentiation-associated genes, including Gata3, Gata4, Gata6, Foxa2, Cdx2, and Wnt9a, were up-regulated, whereas 2C-specific genes such as MERVL, Zscan4, Tcstv1, Tcstv3, Zfp352, and Sp110 were robustly activated, accompanied by a significant increase in the proportion of 2C-like cells. RBM25 was enriched at the promoter regions of key PRC1.6 subunit genes, including Rnf2, Pcgf6, Max, and Mga, and enhanced their promoter activities. Loss of Rbm25 reduced the expression of these PRC1.6 components, suggesting that repression of the 2C transcription was weakened. These findings identify RBM25 as an essential regulator of mESC pluripotency and a critical barrier to the 2C-like state transition, acting in part by transcriptionally activating core components of the PRC1.6 complex.
