Post-transcriptional regulation of Profilin-2 by microRNAs and RNA-binding proteins forms a critical regulatory node for early embryonic cell fate decisions

It is demonstrated that post-transcriptional regulation of the Profilin 2 (Pfn2) transcript is essential for differentiation of embryonic stem cells into the primary germ layer lineages and revealed the Pfn2 microRNA-IRE regulatory axis as a critical post-transcriptional regulatory node governing the switch from plurip...

TUG1 supports mouse two-cell-stage development and ZGA-associated transcription through MAPK8 signaling

It is demonstrated that TUG1, which is highly expressed in tumors, regulates early embryonic development in mice and is transformed from a cancer-specific effector to a critical regulator of the ZGA, raising the possibility that related regulatory principles may operate in other biological contexts.

ZAR1/ZAR2-mediated maternal mRNA fate control in oocyte maturation and early embryonic development

The link between decreased ZAR1/ZAR2 expression and abnormal epigenetic modifications in aged oocytes, as well as the relationship between human ZAR1 variants and oocyte maturation disorders and preimplantation embryonic developmental arrest, requires further validation through additional functional experiments and cli...

The RNA ac4C writer NAT10-dependent post-transcriptional regulations are prerequisites for zygotic splicing activation in mouse

It is demonstrated that the RNA ac 4 C writer NAT10 is essential for the post-transcriptional regulation of mouse zygotic splicing activation and provide valuable view for further exploration of the epigenetic mechanism during maternal-to-zygotic transition.
