Description:

lncKdm2b, a divergent lncRNA against Kdm2b gene, is conserved among five mammalian species and highly expressed in embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and early embryos. LncKdm2b knockout impairs ESC self-renewal and causes early embryonic lethality. LncKdm2b can activate Zbtb3 by promoting the assembly and ATPase activity of Snf2-related CREBBP activator protein (SRCAP) complex in trans.
lncKdm2b, was expressed at high levels in intestinal group 3 ILCs (ILC3s). To determine the in vivo role of lncKdm2b in the development of immune cells, lncKdm2bflox/flox mice via CRISPR-Cas9 technology were established and crossed with Vav-Cre mice to generate lncKdm2bflox/flox; Vav-Cre+ mice. LncKdm2b was completely deleted in the BM of these mice. LncKdm2b deficiency in the hematopoietic system led to reductions in the number and effector functions of ILC3s. Mechanistically, lncKdm2bexerts its regulatory functions in trans by recruiting the chromatin organizer Satb1 and the nuclear remodeling factor (NURF) complex onto the Zfp292 promoter to initiate its transcription.
