Mthfd2 Regulates Pluripotency of mESCs by Modulating both Mitochondrial Function and DNA Repair

(A) Representative results of Uqcrc2-Exo1 KD mESCs with AP staining. Scale bars, 100 μm.

(B) qRT-PCR analysis of mRNA levels of Uqcrc2 and Exo1 in Uqcrc2-Exo1 KD mESCs.

(C and D) qRT-PCR analysis of mRNA levels of pluripotency marker genes (C) and lineage marker genes (D) in Uqcrc2-Exo1 KD mESCs.

(E) Representative results of OE Uqcrc2-, OE Cdk1- or co-OE Uqcrc2, and Cdk1-Mthfd2 KD mESCs with AP staining. Scale bars, 200 μm.

(F) qRT-PCR analysis of mRNA levels of Uqcrc2, Cdk1, and Mthfd2 in OE Uqcrc2-, OE Cdk1- or co-OE Uqcrc2, and Cdk1-Mthfd2 KD mESCs.

(G and H) qRT-PCR analysis of mRNA levels of pluripotency marker genes (G) and lineage marker genes (H) in OE Uqcrc2-, OE Cdk1- or co-OE Uqcrc2, and Cdk1-Mthfd2 KD mESCs.

Data in (B) to (D) and (F) to (H) are pooled from three independent experiments (mean ± SD) relative to EF1-α and the control. p < 0.05, ∗∗p < 0.01, ∗∗∗p < 0.001 (Student's t test) compared with the control. See also Figure S7.
