Genome wide analysis of STAT3-mediated transcription and binding sites in mouse female germ stem cell (RNA-seq)
Activation of JAK-STAT3 signaling by leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) is required for maintaining self-renewal of mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs). STAT3 perform cell type-specific roles in different cell type, here we revisit the role of STAT3 using mouse female germ stem cell (mFGSCs). We applied CRISPR/Cas9 system to generate Stat3 knockout FGSCs and then observed cell growth inhibition and cell cycle arrest in KO cell line. By combining genome wide ChIP-Seq and RNA-Seq, we identified 5990 STAT3 binding sites and discovered serval genes specific regulated by STAT3 that were involved in stem cell proliferation and female gonad development in FGSCs. In general, we identify key roles of STAT3 for sustains self-renewal and proliferation for FGSCs in this study.
