LIF Promotes Sec15b-Mediated STAT3 Exosome Secretion to Maintain Stem Cell Pluripotency in Mouse Embryonic Development.

ABSTRACT: LIF maintains self-renewal growth in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESC) by activating STAT3, which translocates into nucleus for pluripotent gene induction. However, the ERK signaling pathway activated by LIF at large counteract with pluripotent gene induction during self-renewal growth. Here, it is reported that in mESC STAT3 undergoes multivesicular endosomes (MVEs) translocation and subsequent secretion, LIF-activated STAT3 is acetylated on K177/180 and phosphorylated on Y293 residues within the N-terminal coiled-coil domain, which is responsible for the interaction between STAT3 and Secl5b, an exocyst complex component 6B (EXOC6B). STAT3 translocation into MVEs resulted in the downregulation of T202/Y204-ERK1/2 phosphorylation and up-regulation of S9-GSK3β phosphorylation for maintainin
