- Abstract
- As the LIF-induced Jak1/STAT3 pathway has been reported to play a crucial role in self-renewal of mESCs, we sought to determine if Jak2, which is also expressed in mESCs, might also be involved in the pathway. By employing an RNAi strategy, we established both Jak2 and Jak2/Tyk2 knockdown mESC clones. Both Jak2 and Jak2/Tyk2 knockdown clones maintained the undifferentiated state as wild-type controls, even in a very low concentration of LIF. However, we observed not only faster onset of differentiation but also differential expression of tissue-specific lineage genes for ectodermal and mesodermal, but not endodermal origins from embryoid bodies generated from both types of knockdown clones compared to the wild-type. Furthermore, the reduced level of Jak2 caused differentiation of mESCs in the presence of LIF when the Writ pathway was activated by LiCl treatment. Taken together, we demonstrated that Jak2 and Tyk2 are not involved in LIF-induced STAT3 pathway for self-renewal of mESCs, but play a role in early lineage decision of mESCs to various differentiated cell types.
