Naïve human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) are defined as the in vitro counterpart of the human preimplantation embryo’s epiblast and are used as a model system to study developmental processes. In this study, we report the discovery and characterization of distinct cell populations coexisting with epiblast-like cells in 5iLAF naïve human induced PSCs (hiPSCs) cultures. Noteworthily these populations closely resemble different cell types of the human embryo at early developmental stages. While epiblast-like cells represented the main cell population, interestingly we detected a cell population with gene and transposable element expression profile closely resembling the totipotent 8-Cell (8C) stage human embryo, and three cell populations analogous to trophectoderm (TE) cells at different stages of their maturation process: transition, early and mature stage. Thus, 5iLAF naïve hiPSCs cultures provide an excellent opportunity to model the earliest events of human embryogenesis, from the 8C stage to the peri-implantation period.Graphical abstract |
