Single-cell profiling of lncRNAs in human germ cells and molecular analysis reveals transcriptional regulation of LNC1845 on LHX8
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We report the presence of many long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) which were specifically expressed in the germ cells during human gonadal development by single-cell profiling, and the functional characterization of one divergent lncRNA, LNC1845. Functional dissection using in vitro differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells to germ cells revealed the regulatory role of LNC1845 on a transcription factor essential for ovarian follicle development, LHX8. Molecular characterization elucidated that LNC1845 upregulated LHX8 expression by modulating the levels of histone modifications, H3K4me3 and H3K27Ac. Our study provides a comprehensive analysis of lncRNAs in developing human germ cells and a concrete example of lncRNA acting as a cis regulator during female germ cell development.
