摘要: When embryonic stem cells (ESCs) differentiate, they must both silence the ESC self-renewal program and activate new tissue-specific programs. In absence of DGCR8 (Dgcr8(-/-)), a protein required for microRNA (miRNA) biogenesis, mouse ESCs are unable to self-renewal. Here we show that introduction let-7 miRNAs-a family miRNAs highly expressed in somatic cells-can suppress Dgcr8(-/-) but not wild-type ESCs. Introduction cell cycle regulating (ESCC) into blocks capacity Profiling bioinformatic analyses inhibits whereas ESCC indirectly numerous genes. Furthermore, inhibition promotes de-differentiation induced pluripotent cells. Together, these findings how act through common pathways alternatively stabilize self-renewing versus differentiated fates.
