| 摘要 |
Mitochondria are crucial for cell fate determination, yet their roles in human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC) fate changes have remained underexplored. Here, we designed a CRISPR library targeting 661 mitochondrial proteins and identified the MPC (mitochondrial pyruvate carrier) as a critical regulator of hPSC self-renewal and pluripotency. Notably, MPC inhibition reduced hPSC self-renewal and endoderm differentiation while promoting mesoderm differentiation, with no effect on ectoderm differentiation, all mediated by influencing glycolytic acetyl-CoA production. Specifically, the decrease in acetyl-CoA following MPC inhibition affected histone acetylation in hPSCs, compromising self-renewal. In contrast, MPC inhibition did not impact histone acetylation in differentiated cells; instead, it reduced the acetylation of non-histone proteins-EP300 and SMAD2-thereby enhancing mesoderm differentiation and repressing endoderm differentiation, respectively. These findings suggest that distinct effector proteins respond to variations in acetyl-CoA levels at different developmental stages, leading to a context-dependent regulation of cell fate determination by glycolytic acetyl-CoA in hPSCs. |
