Abstract
The heterogeneity of CARM1 controls first cell fate bias during early mouse development. However, how this heterogeneity is established is unknown. Here, we show that Carm1 mRNA is of a variety of specific exon-skipping splicing (ESS) isoforms in mouse two-cell to four-cell embryos that contribute to CARM1 heterogeneity. Disruption of paraspeckles promotes the ESS of Carm1 precursor mRNAs (pre-mRNAs). LincGET, but not Neat1, is required for paraspeckle assembly and inhibits the ESS of Carm1 pre-mRNAs in mouse two-cell to four-cell embryos. We further find that LincGET recruits paraspeckles to the Carm1 gene locus through HNRNPU. Interestingly, PCBP1 binds the Carm1 pre-mRNAs and promotes its ESS in the absence of LincGET. Finally, we find that the ESS seen in mouse two-cell to four-cell embryos decreases CARM1 protein levels and leads to trophectoderm fate bias. Our findings demonstrate that alternative splicing of CARM1 has an important role in first cell fate determination.

[PMID: 38242996 DOI: 10.1007/s00535-023-02073-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2023] [Accepted: 12/26/2023] [Indexed: 01/21/2024]
Abstract
Most gastric cancers arise in the setting of chronic inflammation which alters gland organization, such that acid-pumping parietal cells are lost, and remaining cells undergo metaplastic change in differentiation patterns. From a basic science perspective, recent progress has been made in understanding how atrophy and initial pyloric metaplasia occur. However, pathologists and cancer biologists have long been focused on the development of intestinal metaplasia patterns in this setting. Arguably, much less progress has been made in understanding the mechanisms that lead to the intestinalization seen in chronic atrophic gastritis and pyloric metaplasia. One plausible explanation for this disparity lies in the notable absence of reliable and reproducible small animal models within the field, which would facilitate the investigation of the mechanisms underlying the development of gastric intestinal metaplasia (GIM). This review offers an in-depth exploration of the current state of research in GIM, shedding light on its pivotal role in tumorigenesis. We delve into the histological subtypes of GIM and explore their respective associations with tumor formation. We present the current repertoire of biomarkers utilized to delineate the origins and progression of GIM and provide a comprehensive survey of the available, albeit limited, mouse lines employed for modeling GIM and engage in a discussion regarding potential cell lineages that serve as the origins of GIM. Finally, we expound upon the myriad signaling pathways recognized for their activity in GIM and posit on their potential overlap and interactions that contribute to the ultimate manifestation of the disease phenotype. Through our exhaustive review of the progression from gastric disease to GIM, we aim to establish the groundwork for future research endeavors dedicated to elucidating the etiology of GIM and developing strategies for its prevention and treatment, considering its potential precancerous nature.
