<p id="P4">To identify surface markers of early reprogramming stages, we screened 176 antibodies on cells representing three stages of the reprogramming process: 1) mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs), 2) a previously characterized partially reprogrammed cell (PRC) line<sup><xref rid="R18" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>

and 3) embryonic stem (ES) cells. We identified 21 markers enriched or shared between these cell types and characterized their co-expression by single cell mass cytometry using spanning-tree progression analysis of density-normalized events (SPADE), which groups similar cells into a defined number of clusters<sup><xref rid="R21" ref-type="bibr">21</xref>

-driven MEF reprogramming. By day 3, downregulation of the fibroblast expression program was evident (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">Fig. 1c</xref>

). At day 6, major branches were delineated by the PRC marker CD73 and ESC markers CD54, CD326 and SSEA1. Little co-expression was observed between these markers suggesting several intermediates arise during early reprogramming or early expression of some of these markers may not be indicative of productive reprogramming. By day 9, CD326 and SSEA1 expression converged in a subpopulation and persisted on days 12 and 16 (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F6">Extended Data Fig. 2b</xref>
). These clusters were heterogeneous for CD73, suggesting they may be derivatives of separate populations or a CD73<sup>high</sup>

<p id="P5">Hypothesizing that cells destined to successfully reprogram, acquire surface markers in a stepwise, non-stochastic manner during early reprogramming, we assessed reprogramming efficiencies for cells with high or low expression of the above-characterized surface markers at early time points (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">Fig. 2a–c</xref>
and <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F8">Extended Data Fig. 4a</xref>
). As mass culture experiments can be misleading since a single proliferative population can seed multiple secondary colonies, we conducted 96-well assays to assess unique reprogramming events. Based on the current literature it would be expected that reprogramming cells would be enriched by (i) low levels of fibroblast markers and (ii) high levels of ESC markers independent of the time and state of reprogramming<sup><xref rid="R2" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>

. Indeed, by day 3, populations expressing low levels of all fibroblast markers except CD47 enriched for reprogramming populations when compared to highly expressing populations (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">Fig. 2a</xref>
). Surprisingly though, at these early timepoints, cells with high levels of the ESC markers SSEA1, CD54, CD326, or CD71 did not show significantly increased reprogramming (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">Fig. 2a–c</xref>
). Day 9 fractions expressing high levels of CD326 or SSEA1 began to show greater but insignificant enrichment for reprogramming populations. We confirmed previous reports that SSEA1-sorted cells produce more iPS cell colonies in mass culture<sup><xref rid="R1" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>

emphasizing the critical importance of the 96-well assay (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F8">Extended Data Fig. 4b,c</xref>
). Unlike previously assumed, our findings demonstrate that acquisition of markers that define the pluripotent state is a late event and early expression of ESC markers has little predictive value for successful reprogramming. Additionally these data support that the mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition (MET) as judged by the epithelial marker CD326 (EpCAM) is a late event<sup><xref rid="R2" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>

, we hypothesized a productive intermediate might arise between fibroblasts and iPS cells that share a subset of these markers. Indeed, day 6 fractions expressing high levels of the PRC markers CD73, CD49d and CD200 significantly enriched for reprogramming populations (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">Fig. 2b</xref>
). Also on day 9 the CD73<sup>high</sup>
and CD49d<sup>high</sup>
populations contained higher reprogramming activity (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">Fig. 2c</xref>
). In agreement with these results, the day 6 SPADE analysis showed CD73<sup>high</sup>
, CD49d<sup>high</sup>
and CD200<sup>high</sup>
branches largely clustering independently from branches enriched for ESC and MEF markers (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">Fig. 1c</xref>
). These results demonstrate that distinct intermediate populations arise after fibroblast program repression but before ESC marker acquisition.</p>
<p id="P7">We next focused on the markers CD73 and CD49d. When corrected for plating efficiency both CD73<sup>high</sup>
and CD49d<sup>high</sup>
populations showed remarkably high reprogramming efficiencies of 9.5% +/− 3.5 and 12.5% +/− 5.7, respectively (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">Fig. 2d–f</xref>
). Similar enrichment of a reprogramming-prone population was observed in reprogramming tail tip fibroblasts (TTFs) and glial-restricted neural precursor cells suggesting CD73 and CD49d may be universal markers of intermediate reprogramming stages (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F3">Fig. 3a–d</xref>
). Finally, we explored their potential functional implications during reprogramming, and observed that adenosine, the enzymatic product of CD73, has a negative effect throughout and CD49d activity is necessary during late reprogramming (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F8">Extended Data Fig. 4e</xref>
).</p>
<p id="P8">We then used our day 6 SPADE analysis to identify heterogeneously expressed markers that could subdivide the CD73<sup>high</sup>
reprogramming-prone population and conducted single cell efficiency assays (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F3">Fig. 3e,f</xref>
). Within the CD73-positive population the CD44<sup>high</sup>
, CD71<sup>low</sup>
and CD326<sup>high</sup>
fractions failed to reprogram, while CD49d<sup>high</sup>
and CD326<sup>low</sup>
fractions enriched for a reprogramming population. Thus, a CD73<sup>high</sup>
CD49d<sup>high</sup>
CD326<sup>low</sup>
CD44<sup>low</sup>
signature best describes the population undergoing productive reprogramming on day 6. Overlaying this signature onto the day 6 SPADE tree allowed for determination of the exact cellular clusters most similar to this reprogramming-prone signature (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F3">Fig. 3g</xref>
). As expected, MEF markers were low in these poised populations. This suggests this intermediate arises after loss of mesenchymal markers, but before MET completion as indicated by reprogramming enrichment in the CD326<sup>low</sup>
fraction.</p>
<p id="P9">To identify subsequent reprogramming stages we conducted continuation analysis where cells were sorted on day 6 and characterized by mass cytometry on day 16 (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F3">Fig. 3h</xref>
, <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F8">Extended Data Fig. 4</xref>
–<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F10">6</xref>

cells were highly proliferative but failed to develop into mature colonies (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F9">Extended Data Fig. 5b</xref>
). Continuation analysis on day 16 revealed that while reprogramming-prone and non-prone populations contained CD326 expressing cells, broad overlap between CD326<sup>high</sup>
and SSEA1<sup>high</sup>
clusters was only in mature reprogramming-prone populations (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F3">Fig. 3h</xref>
, <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F10">Extended Data Fig. 6</xref>
). These clusters did not overlap with the ESC marker CD54, and were heterogeneous for CD73 and CD49d. We conclude a distinct CD326<sup>high</sup>
, SSEA1<sup>high</sup>
, CD54<sup>low</sup>
intermediate arises after the CD73<sup>high</sup>
/CD49d<sup>high</sup>
intermediate and before pluripotency acquisition.</p>
<p id="P10">We then used the intermediates stages to gain molecular insights into transcriptional regulation of early reprogramming. Gene expression analysis intriguingly showed these intermediates precede activation of the majority of transcription factors thought to be predictive markers for pluripotency induction (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F4">Fig. 4a</xref>

. The observation that these intermediates arise prior to key pluripotency regulators suggests a separate combination of early transcription factors must be induced to generate early intermediates and poise them for pluripotency acquisition. We found the transcription factors <italic>Nr0b1</italic>
and <italic>Etv5</italic>
preferentially expressed in reprogramming-prone populations and highly expressed in ESCs suggesting a functional role in poising early reprogramming (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F4">Fig. 4a</xref>

<p id="P11">To assess whether these genes were necessary to induce the early intermediate populations we generated three short hairpins against each gene (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F11">Extended Data Fig. 7e,f</xref>

). This phenotype could be rescued by cDNA overexpression in combination with a hairpin targeting the UTR for the gene of interest (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F4">Fig. 4c</xref>
). Further, when <italic>Nanog</italic>

colonies or <italic>Sox2-EGFP</italic>

colonies were assessed 24 days after reprogramming induction, a dramatic decrease in reprogramming efficiencies was observed (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F4">Fig. 4d,e</xref>
). In contrast, knock-down of either gene in ESCs did not affect survival or proliferation (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F11">Extended Data Fig. 7h</xref>

are required for the generation of the CD73<sup>high</sup>

<p id="P12">We then wondered whether a similar intermediate population arises in high efficiency reprogramming systems<sup><xref rid="R12" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>

. Published expression analysis of two high efficiency systems showed transient CD73 upregulation, suggesting the presence of a similar intermediate (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F12">Extended Data Fig. 8a,b</xref>
). We then characterized one of these systems, the <italic>Mbd3<sup>fl/−</sup>
</italic>
secondary MEF system, in greater detail<sup><xref rid="R12" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>

. After confirming reported reprogramming efficiencies, we analyzed this system by mass spectrometry (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F12">Extended Data Figs. 8</xref>
–<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F14">10</xref>
). By day 3, fibroblast marker repression was evident, and CD73 was upregulated within this population (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F12">Extended Data Fig. 8e</xref>
and <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F13">9b</xref>
). Within the CD73<sup>high</sup>
/MEFSK4<sup>low</sup>
population, CD49d (<italic>itga4</italic>
) upregulation was not apparent, but we noticed the emergence of a separate integrin, CD104 (<italic>itgb4</italic>
). By day 4, the major CD73<sup>high</sup>
branch clearly overlapped with the CD104<sup>high</sup>
branch and persisted into day 5. SSEA1<sup>high</sup>
and CD326<sup>high</sup>
expression was present on day 4, but clear coexpression was not seen until day 5. By day 9, CD73 and CD104 expression was dramatically reduced while CD326 and SSEA1 expression remained high. These data demonstrate a transient CD73<sup>high</sup>
/CD104<sup>high</sup>
population arises after donor cell program repression and prior to ESC marker acquisition even in a highly efficient reprogramming system. Similar to CD49d and CD73, CD104 is not highly expressed in ESCs (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">Fig. 1a</xref>
). Similar to viral reprogramming, adenosine treatment abolished reprogramming in the Mbd3 reprogramming system, albeit only at late stages, whereas compounds affecting CD49d function had little effect (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F8">Extended Data Fig. 4f</xref>

<p id="P13">The stage-specific framework provided in this study bridges the previously unexplored gap between donor program silencing and pluripotent marker acquisition (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F4">Fig. 4f</xref>
