Cancer Center, University of Florida College of Medicine, Gainesville,
Florida 32610; Mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells can proliferate indefinitely in an
undifferentiated state in the presence of leukemia inhibitory factor
(LIF), or differentiate into all three germ layers upon removal of this
factor. To determine cellular factors associated with self-renewal of
undifferentiated ES cells, we used polymerase chain
reaction-assisted cDNA subtraction to screen genes that are
expressed in undifferentiated ES cells and down-regulated after
incubating these cells in a differentiation medium without LIF for
48 h. The mRNA expression of a tetraspanin transmembrane protein,
CD9, was high in undifferentiated ES cells and decreased shortly after
cell differentiation. An immunohistochemical analysis confirmed that
plasma membrane-associated CD9 was expressed in undifferentiated ES
cells but low in the differentiated cells. Addition of LIF to
differentiating ES cells reinduced mRNA expression of CD9, and CD9
expression was accompanied with a reappearance of undifferentiated ES
cells. Furthermore, activation of STAT3 induced the expression
of CD9, indicating the LIF/STAT3 pathway is critical for maintaining
CD9 expression. Finally, addition of anti-CD9 antibody blocked ES cell
colony formation and reduced cell viability. These results indicate
that CD9 may play a role in LIF-mediated maintenance of
undifferentiated ES cells.
