Jarid2 is part of the Polycomb Repressor complex 2 (PRC2) responsible for genome-wide H3K27me3 deposition. Unlike other PRC2-deficient embryonic stem cells (ESCs), however, Jarid2-deficient ESCs show a severe differentiation block, altered colony morphology, and distinctive patterns of deregulated gene expression. Here, we show that Jarid2−/− ESCs express constitutively high levels of Nanog but reduced PCP signaling components Wnt9a, Prickle1, and Fzd2 and lowered β-catenin activity. Depletion of Wnt9a/Prickle1/Fzd2 from wild-type ESCs or overexpression of Nanog largely phenocopies these cellular defects. Co-culture of Jarid2−/− with wild-type ESCs restores variable Nanog expression and β-catenin activity and can partially rescue the differentiation block of mutant cells. In addition, we show that ESCs lacking Jarid2 or Wnt9a/Prickle1/Fzd2 or overexpressing Nanog induce multiple ICM formation when injected into normal E3.5 blastocysts. These data describe a previously unrecognized role for Jarid2 in regulating a core pluripotency and Wnt/PCP signaling circuit that is important for ESC differentiation and for pre-implantation development. ESCs lacking Jarid2 show constitutive Nanog expression ESCs lacking Jarid2 have reduced PCP/Wnt signaling Co-culture of Jarid2-null and WT ESCs restores differentiation capability Jarid2-null ESCs form more than one ICM upon injection to E3.5 mouse blastocysts Landeira et al. show that Jarid2-null ESCs have reduced Wnt9a/Prickle1/Fzd2 and low β-catenin activity, resulting in altered adhesion, constitutive expression of Nanog, and failure to differentiate. Their experiments identify a non-canonical function for Jarid2 in regulating the balance between ESC self-renewal and differentiation.
