説明

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Reprogramming of mouse somatic cells into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) often generates partially reprogrammed iPSCs (pre-iPSCs), low-grade chimera forming iPSCs (lg-iPSCs) and fully reprogrammed, high-grade chimera production competent iPSCs (hg-iPSCs). Lg-iPSC transcriptome analysis revealed misregulated <jats:italic>Dlk1-Dio3</jats:italic> cluster gene expression and subsequently the imprinting defect at the <jats:italic>Dlk1-Dio3</jats:italic> locus. Here, we show that germ-cell marker <jats:italic>Dppa3</jats:italic> is present only in lg-iPSCs and hg-iPSCs, and that induction with exogenous <jats:italic>Dppa3</jats:italic> enhances reprogramming kinetics, generating all hg-iPSCs, similar to vitamin C (Vc). Conversely, <jats:italic>Dppa3</jats:italic>-null fibroblasts show reprogramming block at pre-iPSCs state and <jats:italic>Dlk1-Dio3</jats:italic> imprinting defect. At the molecular level, we show that Dppa3 is associated with <jats:italic>Dlk1-Dio3</jats:italic> locus and identify that Dppa3 maintains imprinting by antagonizing Dnmt3a binding. Our results further show molecular parallels between Dppa3 and Vc in <jats:italic>Dlk1-Dio3</jats:italic> imprinting maintenance and suggest that early activation of <jats:italic>Dppa3</jats:italic> is one of the cascades through which Vc facilitates the generation of fully reprogrammed iPSCs.</jats:p>
