Canonical Wnt pathway controls mESCs self-renewal through inhibition of spontaneous differentiation via β-catenin/TCF/LEF functions


ABSTRACT: The Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway is a key regulator of embryonic stem cell self-renewal and differentiation. Constitutive activation of this pathway has been shown to significantly increase mouse embryonic stem cell (mESC) self-renewal and pluripotency marker expression. In this study, we generated a novel β-catenin knock-out model in mESCs by using CRISPR/Cas9 technology to delete putatively functional N-terminally truncated isoforms observed in previous knock-out models. While we showed that aberrant N-terminally truncated isoforms are not functional in mESCS, we observed that canonical Wnt signalling is not active in mESCs, as β-catenin ablation does not alter mESC transcriptional profile in LIF-enriched culture conditions; on the other hand, Wnt signalling activation represses mESC spontaneous differentiation. We also showed that transcriptionally silent β-catenin (ΔC) isoforms can rescue β-catenin knock-out self-renewal defects in mESCs, cooperating with TCF1 and LEF1 in the inhibition of mESC spontaneous differentiation in a Gsk3 dependent manner.
