RNA-seq of wild-type and PGR (progesterone receptor) knockout pluripotent mouse EpiSCs (epiblast stem cells) and differentiated samples derived from these cell lines (primitive streak and mesoderm)

ABSTRACT: EpiSCs (epiblast stem cells) are murine pluripotent stem cells derived from the epiblast of a post-implantation embryo. These cells are primed to differentiate towards embryonic germ layers and are a useful model to study these early developmental events. PGR (progesterone receptor) is a nuclear receptor described mainly in the context of fertility and breast cancer. We noticed that it is also a TF that is expressed in primed EpiSCs, but not in naive mESCs and is further upregulated during mesoderm specification. We hypothesized that it is involved in differentiation to primitive streak and mesoderm progenitors. To test this hypothesis we generated EpiSCs with a genetic knockout of PGR using CRISPR-Cas9-mediated knock-in of an antibiotic resistance cassette. Differentiation of the wild-typ
