Abstract:
Inflammatory signals are key in development and cell differentiation but their orchestration with pluripotency and stemness signals is poorly understood. Our previous work identified a chromatin function of I{kappa}B, the NF-{kappa}B inhibitor, that is crucial for differentiation in different types of somatic stem cells. Here we demonstrate that deficiency of I{kappa}B imposes a profound chromatin rewiring defect that impacts on DNA methylation, histone post-translational modifications and transcriptional regulation, stabilizing mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) in a ground state of pluripotency while preventing them from pluripotency exit and differentiation. By engineering separation-of-function mutants of I{kappa}B with specific binding to either NF-{kappa}B or histones, we demonstrate that regulation of pluripotency state by I{kappa}B is independent of NF-{kappa}B but requires the chromatin-related I{kappa}B function.
