Reprogramming of somatic cells to induced pluripotent stem cells reconfigures chromatin modifications. Whether and how this process is regulated by signals originating in the mitochondria remain unknown. Here we show that the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP), a key regulator of mitochondrial homeostasis, undergoes short-term opening during the early phase of reprogramming and that this transient activation enhances reprogramming. In mouse embryonic fibroblasts, greater mPTP opening correlates with higher reprogramming efficiency. The reprogramming-promoting function of mPTP opening is mediated by plant homeodomain finger protein 8 (PHF8) demethylation of H3K9me2 and H3K27me3, leading to reduction in their occupancies at the promoter regions of pluripotency genes. mPTP opening increases PHF8 protein levels downstream of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species production and miR-101c and simultaneously elevates levels of PHF8's cofactor, alpha-ketoglutarate. Our findings represent a novel mitochondria-to-nucleus pathway in cell fate determination by mPTP-mediated epigenetic regulation.
