Metabolites and cofactors are emerging as key regulators of cell plasticity and reprogramming, and their role in the control of pluripotency is just being discovered. Here we provide unprecedented evidence that embryonic stem cell (ESC) pluripotency relies on the relative levels of two physiological metabolites, namely ascorbic acid (vitamin C, VitC) and l-proline (l-Pro), which affect global DNA methylation, transcriptional profile, and energy metabolism. Specifically, while a high VitC/l-Pro ratio drives ESCs toward a naive state, the opposite condition (l-Pro excess) captures a fully reversible early primed pluripotent state, which depends on autocrine fibroblast growth factor and transforming growth factor β signaling pathways. Our findings highlight the pivotal role of metabolites availability in controlling the pluripotency continuum from naive to primed states. Global DNA methylation is modulated by l-Pro and VitC availability in ESCs l-Pro and VitC relative levels induce naive and reversible primed pluripotency High l-Pro/low VitC levels induce metabolic reprogramming in ESCs l-Pro induces and sustains autocrine FGF and TGF-β signaling in ESCs In this article, Minchiotti, De Cesare, and colleagues show that the relative levels of two physiological metabolites, vitamin C and l-proline, direct ESCs toward naive or reversible primed states of pluripotency, placed between the naive/2i and FGF/activin states, and highlight a pivotal role of metabolic-epigenetic crosstalk in the developmental continuum.
