Acidic microenvironment shaped by lactate accumulation promotes pluripotency through multiple mechanisms
2018-03-15
Abstract excerpt
Enhanced glycolysis is a distinct feature associated with numerous stem cells and cancer cells. However, little is known about its regulatory roles in gene expression and cell fate determination. Here we show that acidic environment shaped by lactate accumulation promotes the self-renewal and pluripotency of both mouse and human embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Mechanistically, acidic pH reduces the tri-methylation of...
