タイトル Deletion of lncRNA XACT does not change expression dosage of X-linked genes, but affects differentiation potential in hPSCs.
ジャーナル Cell Rep
Abstract Female human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) regularly show erosion of X chromosome inactivation featured by the loss of the long non-coding (lnc) RNA XIST and the accumulation of lncXACT. Here, we report that a common mechanism for the initiation of erosion depends on XIST loss but not XACT accumulation on inactive X chromosomes. We further demonstrate that XACT deletion does not affect X-linked gene dosage in eroded hPSCs and that aberrant XIST RNA diffusion induced by the CRISPR activation system is independent of the presence of XACT RNA. In contrast, the deletion of XACT results in the upregulation of neuron-related genes, facilitating neural differentiation in both male and eroded female hPSCs. XACT RNA repression by CRIPSR inhibition results in the same phenotype. Our study finds that XACT is dispensable for maintaining the erosion of X-lined gene repression on inactive X chromosomes but affects neural differentiation in hPSCs.
