Abstract During early embryonic development, the transition from totipotency to pluripotency is a fundamental and critical process for proper development. However, the regulatory mechanisms governing this transition remain elusive. Here, we conducted a comprehensive genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 screen to investigate the 2-cell-like cells (2CLCs) phenotype in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs). This effort led to the identification of ten regulators that play a pivotal role in determining cell fate during this transition. Notably, our study revealed Mdm2 as a significant negative regulator of 2CLCs, as perturbation of Mdm2 resulted in a higher proportion of 2CLCs. Mdm2 appears to influence cell fate through its impact on cell cycle progression and H3K27me3 epigenetic modifications. In summary, the results of our CRISPR/Cas9 screen have uncovered several genes with distinct functions in regulating totipotency and pluripotency at various levels, offering a valuable resource for potential targets in future molecular studies. |
