The goal of preimplantation development is to establish the fates of the embryonic and extra‐embryonic cells. However, when and how cell fates are determined during early mammalian embryonic development remains unclear. We report that the high mobility group (HMG) protein family member HMGA1 was distributed differentially in mouse two‐cell blastomeres. Knockdown ofHmga1expression in one of the two cells reduced the number of cells contributing to the inner cell mass (ICM), suggesting that differential distribution of HMGA1 in the blastomeres in two‐cell mouse embryos affected the selection of embryonic cell lineages. Mechanistically, HMGA1 promotes the expression of the ICM‐specific geneSox2. The results of this study show that mouse embryos demonstrate heterogeneity as early as the two‐cell stage, and that these differences are related to cell‐fate differentiation in early mouse embryos.
