NANOS3, an RNA binding protein, is expressed during differentiation of primordial germ cells (PGCs) in vitro (Irie et al. 2015, Fang et al. 2020, Tang et al. 2022). Expression of NANOS3 coincides with expression of NANOG, POU5F1 (OCT4), and TFAP2C (Irie et al. 2015). SOX17 (Irie et al. 2015, Kojima et al. 2021, Tang et al. 2022), TFAP2C (Kojima et al. 2021, Tang et al. 2022), and PRDM1 (Tang et al. 2022, Irie et al. 2022) directly activate expression of NANOS3 in PGCs differentiated in vitro. SOX17 is required to maintain expression of NANOS3 (Kojima et al. 2017). Reduced expression of NANOS3 in human embryonic stem cells is associated with fewer numbers of germ cells and reduced expression of germline genes during differentiation in vitro (Julaton et al. 2011). In mice, Nanos3 is required for migration of germ cells to the genital ridge (Tsuda et al. 2003).
