Abstract excerpt
Mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are isolated from the inner cell mass of blastocysts, and they exist in different states of pluripotency-naïve and primed states. Pten is a well-known tumor suppressor. Here, we generated Pten-/- mouse ESCs with the CRISPR-Cas9 system and verified that Pten-/- ESCs maintained naïve pluripotency by blocking Gsk3β activity. Serum/LIF and 2i (MAPK and GSK3 inhibitors) conditions are...
