Inadequate silencing of exogenous genes represents a major obstacle to complete epigenetic reprogramming of porcine-induced pluripotent stem cells (piPSCs) by conventional pluripotency transcription factors (OSKM). We tested the hypothesis that epigenetic modification by active DNA or histone demethylation or by inhibition of histone deacetylase would enhance reprogramming and exogenous gene silencing in piPSCs. piPSCs induced by OSKM in combination with epigenetic factors, specifically Ten-Eleven Translocation (Tet1 or Tet3) or lysine (K)-specific demethylase 3A (Kdm3a), expressed higher levels of Rex1 and other genes representing naive state and exhibited more open chromatin status, compared with those of OSKM controls. Tet1 also improved differentiation capacity. Conversion with inhibitors of histone deacetylases (HDACi), NaB, TSA, or VPA, further increased Rex1 expression, while decreasing expression of exogenous genes. piPSCs induced by Tet1+OSKM followed by conversion with HDACi show high pluripotency. Together, epigenetic modifiers enhance generation of piPSCs and reduce their reliance on exogenous genes. Epigenetic modifiers facilitate induction and quality of porcine iPSCs Tet1, Tet3, or Kdm3a increases naive pluripotency network in association with Rex1 Unlike cytoplasmic Rex1, nuclear expression of Rex1 is associated with high pluripotency HDAC inhibitors further activate Rex1 and reduce reliance on the exogenous genes In this article, Liu and colleagues show that epigenetic modifiers, Tet1, Tet3, or Kdm3a can significantly enhance induction and pluripotency of porcine iPSCs by conventional Yamanaka factors, as demonstrated by increased expression levels of Rex1 in the nuclei and its pluripotency network, and by teratoma formation test. Moreover, expression of exogenous genes is decreased by further treatment with HDAC inhibitor.
