STAT3 phosphorylation at tyrosine 705 (STAT3pY705), triggered by the addition of the leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), can maintain mouse embryonic stem cell (mESC) self‐renewal and reprogram mouse epiblast stem cells (EpiSCs) to enter a naïve pluripotent state. The activation of STAT3pY705occurs mainly through Janus kinases. However, it remains unclear how STAT3pY705levels are decreased in mESCs. Our study shows that upregulation of the protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTPN2)inhibits STAT3 activity by reducing its phosphorylation level and promotes mESC differentiation, whereasPTPN2knockout by CRISPR/CAS9 delays mESC differentiation. Consistently, PTPN2 knockdown facilitates the generation of mESC‐like colonies inSTAT3‐overexpressing EpiSCs. PTPN2‐mediated STAT3 activity, thus, contributes to the exit of ESCs from the pluripotent ground state. These findings expand the current understanding of the regulatory network of naïve pluripotency.
