Generation of an RNF1-deficient human pluripotent stem cell line using CRISPR/Cas9 technology
Summary
RNF1 (RING1A) is a catalytic component of the polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1) involved in regulation of, among others, embryonic development and disease progression. However, the exact role of RNF1 in self-renewal and differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (ESCs) remains unknown. Here, we derive one RNF1 knockout human ESC line using CRISPR/Cas9 system. The cell line retains the canonical stem cell morphology and normal karyotype. Moreover, the cell line highly expresses pluripotency genes and has three germ-layer differentiation potential. The RNF1 -/- cell line will be useful for studies on the function and role of RNF1 in human embryonic stem cell fate decisions. Copyright © 2022 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier B.V.
