Abstract

Pluripotent stem cells in the naïve state are highly useful in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. A robust reprogramming of the primed murine Epiblast Stem Cells (EpiSCs) to naïve pluripotency is feasible via chemical-only approach. This protocol described a method to reprogram murine EpiSCs by MM-401 treatment, which blocks histone H3K4 methylation by MLL1/KMT2A.

Background

Previous protocols on EpiSC reprogramming depended on the genetic manipulations of transcriptional factors or chemical inhibition of the signaling pathways, albeit with varying efficiency and duration. Based on a recent mechanistic study that links the MLL1 complex to the naïve state, this protocol provides a straightforward and robust method to restore naïve pluripotency from EpiSCs via targeting MLL1 mediated H3K4 methylation and subsequent transcription regulation. The reprogramming efficiency is significantly higher than previous published method, achieving 50% conversion rate in two weeks.
