RetSat stabilizes mitotic chromosome segregation in pluripotent stem cells.

ABSTRACT: Chromosome stability is crucial for homeostasis of pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) and early-stage embryonic development. Chromosomal defects may raise carcinogenic risks in regenerative medicine when using PSCs as original materials. However, the detailed mechanism regarding PSCs chromosome stability maintenance is not fully understood. Mouse embryonic stem cells (line D3) and human embryonic stem cells (line H9) were cultured under standard conditions. To confirm the loading of RetSat protein on mitotic chromosomes of PSCs, immunostaining was performed in PSCs spontaneous differentiation assay and iPSC reprogramming assay from mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs), respectively. In addition, qPCR, immunoprecipitation, LC-MS/MS and immunoblotting were used to study the expression of RetSat, an
