Reprogramming somatic cells to induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) is a long and inefficient process. A thorough understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying reprogramming is paramount for efficient generation and safe application of iPSCs in medicine. While intensive efforts have been devoted to identifying reprogramming facilitators and barriers, a full repertoire of such factors, as well as their mechanistic actions, is poorly defined. Here, we report that NAC1, a pluripotency-associated factor and NANOG partner, is required for establishment of pluripotency during reprogramming. Mechanistically, NAC1 is essential for proper expression of E-cadherin by a dual regulatory mechanism: it facilitates NANOG binding to the E-cadherin promoter and fine-tunes its expression; most importantly, it downregulates the E-cadherin repressor ZEB1 directly via transcriptional repression and indirectly via post-transcriptional activation of the miR-200 miRNAs. Our study thus uncovers a previously unappreciated role for the pluripotency regulator NAC1 in promoting efficient somatic cell reprogramming. NAC1 is critical for efficient iPSC generation NAC1 facilitates NANOG binding to E-cadherin promoter NAC1 binds to Zeb1 promoter and represses its expression NAC1 binds to the miR-200 loci and indirectly activates E-cadherin expression The in-depth comprehension of the molecular mechanisms underlying somatic cell reprogramming to generate induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) is vital for the clinical applications of the iPS technologies. In that respect, Faiola et al. uncovered how the transcription factor NAC1 orchestrates the transcriptional and post-transcriptional controls of E-cadherin expression to achieve a complete reprogramming process.
