Although the functional roles of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been increasingly identified, few lncRNAs that control the naïve state of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are known. Here, we report a naïve-state-associated lncRNA, LincU, which is intrinsically activated by Nanog in mESCs. LincU-deficient mESCs exhibit a primed-like pluripotent state and potentiate the transition from the naïve state to the primed state, whereas ectopic LincU expression maintains mESCs in the naïve state. Mechanistically, we demonstrate that LincU binds and stabilizes the DUSP9 protein, an ERK-specific phosphatase, and then constitutively inhibits the ERK1/2 signaling pathway, which critically contributes to maintenance of the naïve state. Importantly, we reveal the functional role of LincU to be evolutionarily conserved in human. Therefore, our findings unveil LincU as a conserved lncRNA that intrinsically restricts MAPK/ERK activity and maintains the naïve state of ESCs. LincU is integral and sufficient to maintain the naïve state of mESCs LincU binds and stabilizes DUSP9 protein to inhibit the ERK1/2 phosphorylation LincU is a direct target of NANOG in naïve-state mESCs The functional role of LincU is conserved in human ESCs Kang and colleagues report a naïve-state-associated long noncoding RNA (LincU), which is directly regulated by Nanog and stabilizes the ERK-specific phosphatase DUSP9 by protecting it from ubiquitin-proteasome mediated degradation to maintain the naïve state of mESCs. Moreover, LincU is functionally conserved in human ESCs.
