?-Catenin and Associated Proteins Regulate Lineage Differentiation in Ground State Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells.


ABSTRACT: Mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) cultured in defined medium resemble the pre-implantation epiblast in the ground state, with full developmental capacity including the germline. ?-Catenin is required to maintain ground state pluripotency in mouse ESCs, but its exact role is controversial. Here, we reveal a Tcf3-independent role of ?-catenin in restraining germline and somatic lineage differentiation genes. We show that ?-catenin binds target genes with E2F6 and forms a complex with E2F6 and HMGA2 or E2F6 and HP1?. Our data indicate that these complexes help ?-catenin restrain and fine-tune germ cell and neural developmental potential. Overall, our data reveal a previously unappreciated role of ?-catenin in preserving lineage differentiation integrity in ground state ESCs.
