The extraordinary progress of pluripotent stem cell research provides a revolutionary avenue to understand mammalian early embryonic development. Besides well-established conventional mouse and human embryonic stem cells, the discoveries of naive state human stem cell, two-cell-like cell, and the newly defined "extended pluripotent" stem cell and "expanded potential" stem cell with bidirectional chimeric ability have greatly broadened the horizons of more pluripotent states recaptured and maintained in dish, infinitely approaching the totipotent blastomere state. Although all these pluripotent cell types can self-renew and have the ability to differentiate into all the three germ layers, accumulating evidence suggests that these pluripotent states display distinct epigenetic characters. More strikingly, epigenetic reprogramming, including DNA methylation, histone modification, and chromatin remodeling, is required to reset the cell fate commitment, suggesting that epigenetic mechanisms may play an active and important role in the maintenance and transition among these pluripotent states. Here, we have reviewed studies on various pluripotent states, with a highlight on the epigenetic regulation during the interconversion. Stem Cells 2019;37:1372-1380.
