Nucleocytoplasmic transport is essential for normal cellular function that mediates cargo transport from the cytoplasm to the nucleus. However, the mechanisms of nucleocytoplasmic transport that integrate stem cell development remain largely unknown. Since it has a large population of stem cells, the planarian flatworm is an ideal system for the study of adult stem cell lineage development in vivo. Here, we focus onexportin-1, which is the most conserved nuclear export receptor. Homologs ofexportin-1have no currently known role in stem cell biology. RNA interference targetingexportin-1caused a failure in anterior and posterior regeneration, and resulted in curly and lysis phenotypes in both intact and regenerating flatworms. During the course ofexportin-1RNAi phenotype, cell division was significantly decreased, and the expression of the epidermal cell markers (vimentinandlaminB) were lost from the intact body. Additionally, the expression levels of the neoblast marker piwiA decreased. By contrast, the expression levels of the epidermal progenitor markersNB21.11eandAGAT1increased. These results suggest thatexportin-1is required for the maintenance of the epidermal lineage in planarians. Inhibition ofexportin-1could promote the premature differentiation of neoblasts to the epidermal lineages, disrupting the proper epidermal maturation.
