Nuclear reprogramming of somatic cells into a pluripotent status has the potential to create patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cells for regenerative medicine. Currently, however, the epigenetic mechanisms underlying this pluripotent reprogramming are poorly understood. To delineate this epigenetic regulatory network, we utilized a chromatin RNAin situreverse transcription sequencing (CRIST-seq) approach to identify long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) embedded in the 3-dimensional intrachromosomal architecture of stem cell core factor genes. By combining CRIST-seq and RNA sequencing, we identifiedOct4-Sox2interacting lncRNA 9 (Osilr9) as a pluripotency-associated lncRNA.Osilr9expression was associated with the status of stem cell pluripotency in reprogramming. Using short hairpin RNA (shRNA) knockdown, we showed that this lncRNA was required for the optimal maintenance of stem cell pluripotency. Overexpression ofOsilr9induced robust activation of endogenous stem cell core factor genes in fibroblasts.Osilr9participated in the formation of the intrachromosomal looping required for the maintenance of pluripotency. After binding to theOct4promoter,Osilr9recruited the DNA demethylase ten-eleven translocation 1, leading to promoter demethylation. These data demonstrate thatOsilr9is a critical chromatin epigenetic modulator that coordinates the promoter activity of core stem cell factor genes, highlighting the critical role of pluripotency-associated lncRNAs in stem cell pluripotency and reprogramming.
