Simple Summary The potential of primordial germ cells (PGCs) for multidirectional differentiation, together with their unique regeneration ability, makes them one of the most promising seed cells in clinical medicine and tissue engineering research. However, not enough PGCs can be obtained to meet the demand, which limits their application. We defined a novel long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) mediated by epigenetics, which could activate the miR-6577-5p/Btrc pathway to promote the formation of PGCs. The technical system we have established is a useful tool to obtain sufficient PGCs for scientific research. Our study offers great theoretical and practical value in the production of transgenic animals or genomic imprinting in poultry. We believe that our study will help researchers in the fields of agricultural production, developmental biology, and cell biology. Abstract Although lncRNAs have been identified as playing critical roles in the development of germ cells, their potential involvement in the development of PGCs in chickens remains poorly understood. Differentially expressed lncRNAs (DELs) from previous RNA-seq of embryonic stem cells (ESCs), PGCs, and spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) were analyzed by K-means clustering, from which a key candidate, lncRNA (lncRNA PGC regulator, LncPGCR) was obtained. We confirmed that LncPGCR plays a positive role in the development of PGCs by increasing the expression of the PGC marker gene (Cvh and C-kit), while downregulating the pluripotency-associated gene (Nanog) in vitro and in vivo. The activation and expression of LncPGCR are regulated by histone acetylation, and transcription factor TCF7L2. Mechanistically, a rescue assay was performed to further confirm that LncPGCR contributed to the development of PGCs by regulating the gga-miR-6577-5p/Btrc signaling pathway. Adsorption of gga-miR-6577-5p activated the WNT signaling cascade by relieving the gga-miR-6577-5p-dependent inhibition of Btrc expression. Taken together, our study discovered the growth-expedited role of LncPGCR in PGCs development, showing the potential LncPGCR/miR-6577-5p/Btrc pathway. The results and findings provide a novel insight into the development of PGCs.
