It has been suggested that the transcription factor Nanog is essential for the establishment of pluripotency during the derivation of embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). However, successful reprogramming to pluripotency with a growing list of divergent transcription factors, at ever-increasing efficiencies, suggests that there may be many distinct routes to a pluripotent state. Here, we have investigated whether Nanog is necessary for reprogramming murine fibroblasts under highly efficient conditions using the canonical-reprogramming factors Oct4, Sox2, Klf4, and cMyc. In agreement with prior results, the efficiency of reprogramming Nanog−/− fibroblasts was significantly lower than that of control fibroblasts. However, in contrast to previous findings, we were able to reproducibly generate iPSCs from Nanog−/− fibroblasts that effectively contributed to the germline of chimeric mice. Thus, whereas Nanog may be an important mediator of reprogramming, it is not required for establishing pluripotency in the mouse, even under standard conditions. Nanog is not required for canonical reprogramming of murine fibroblasts to iPSCs Nanog-deficient iPSCs contribute to the germline of chimeric mice Here, Eggan et al. show that using highly efficient reprogramming conditions employing canonical KSOM factors enables derivation of chimera- and germline-competent iPSCs from Nanog-deficient MEFs. This counters the previous notion that Nanog is an essential gatekeeper to the pluripotent state and highlights that there are multiple routes to pluripotency.
