Establishment of mouse primitive endoderm stem cell lines [scRNA-Seq II]
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The mammalian blastocyst consists of three distinct cell types: epiblast, trophoblast (TB), and primitive endoderm (PrE). Although embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and trophoblast stem cells (TSCs) retain the functional properties of Epi and TB, the currently available extraembryonic endoderm cells (XENC) do not fully recapitulate the developmental potential of PrE. Here we report derivation of primitive endoderm stem cells (PrESCs) in mice. PrESCs express both PrE and pluripotency marker genes like founder PrE. These cells are efficiently incorporated into PrE upon blastocyst injection, generate functionally competent PrE-derived tissues, and support fetal development of PrE-depleted blastocysts in chimeras. Establishment of PrESCs therefore represents a significant step-forward in elucidating the mechanisms for PrE specification and subsequent pre- and post-implantation development.
