The remodelling of the epigenome and transcriptome of the fertilised oocyte to establish totipotency in the zygote and developing embryo is one of the most critical processes in mammalian embryogenesis. Zygotic or embryonic genome activation (ZGA, EGA) in the 2-cell embryo in mouse, and the 8-cell embryo in humans, constitutes the first major wave of transcription. Failure to initiate ZGA leads to developmental defects, and contributes to the high attrition rates of human pre-implantation embryos. Due to limitations in cell numbers and experimental tractability, the mechanisms that regulate human embryonic genome activation in the totipotent embryo remain poorly understood. Here we report the discovery of human 8-cell like cells (8CLCs) specifically among naïve embryonic stem cells, but not primed pluripotent cells. 8CLCs express ZGA marker genes such asZSCAN4, LEUTXandDUXAand their transcriptome closely resembles that of the 8-cell human embryo. 8-cell like cells reactivate 8-cell stage specific transposable elements such asHERVLandMLT2A1and are characterized by upregulation of the DNA methylation regulatorDPPA3. 8CLCs show reduced SOX2 protein, and can be identified based on expression of the novel ZGA-associated protein markers TPRX1 and H3.Yin vitro. Overexpression of the transcription factorDUX4. as well as spliceosome inhibition increase ZGA-like transcription and enhance TPRX1+ 8CLCs formation. Excitingly, thein vitroidentified 8CLC marker proteins TPRX1 and H3.Y are also expressed in 8-cell human embryos at the time of genome activation and may thus be relevantin vivo. The discovery of 8CLCs provides a unique opportunity to model and manipulate human ZGA-like transcriptional programsin vitro, and might provide critical functional insights into one of the earliest events in human embryogenesisin vivo.HighlightsZGA markers and transposable elements are expressed in 8CLCs among naïve human stem cellsThe transcription factorDUX4and spliceosome inhibition induce ZGA-like transcription8CLC marker proteins TPRX1 and H3.Y are expressed in nuclei of 8-cell human embryos8CLCs serve as a novelin vitromodel for human ZGA
