Otx2 binding to Nanog promoter protects embryonal stem cells from corruption of naive pluripotency and is required at morula stage for inner-cell mass differentiation of the epiblast

ABSTRACT: We have investigated the functional relevance of the transcriptional network controlled by the Otx2 binding activity in ESCs, EpiSCs and in vivo. In particular, to study the Otx2 transcriptional network we first performed Otx2 chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) experiments in wt ESCs and day 4 (d4) ESC-derived EpiSCs and employed as negative control ESCs and EpiSCs lacking Otx2. Moreover, to investigate the functional relevance of the Otx2 binding activity in pluripotent stem cells, we mutagenized in ESCs the Otx2 binding site located upstream of the Nanog TSS. To characterize the identity of ESCs and EpiSCs both lacking this Otx2 binding site, we analyzed their transcriptome by RNA-Seq.
