Metabolic Plasticity in Stem Cell Homeostasis and Differentiation

Abstract: Plasticity in energy metabolism allows stem cells to match the divergent demands of self-renewal and lineage specification. Beyond a role in energetic support, new evidence implicates nutrient-responsive metabolites as mediators of crosstalk between metabolic flux, cellular signaling, and epigenetic regulation of cell fate. Stem cell metabolism also offers a potential target for controlling tissue homeostasis and regeneration in aging and disease. In this Perspective, we cover recent progress establishing an e… Show more

“…Recent studies suggest the importance of metabolic transition in regulating the quiescence, activation, proliferation, and differentiation of stem cells (14,15,37). OXPHOS and glycolysis are two major metabolic pathways generating energy in mammalian cells (38).…”

“…On the other hand, overactive OXPHOS exposes stem cells to reactive oxygen species and in consequence increases the risk of DNA damage, inducing mutagenesis and impairing their stemness (15). Because of these advantages of glycolysis, stem cells mainly relay on glycolysis for energy generation (13,14). However, the relatively inefficient energy generation of glycolysis poses a challenge for stem cells to sustain multiple energy demanding processes associated with stem cell activation and proliferation.…”

“…Likewise, the observation that CBCs have an increased dependence on oxidative metabolism may seem counter to the data from studies that have shown reduced oxidative capacity in embryonic stem cells, long-term hematopoietic stem cells, mesenchymal stem cells, and hepatic stem cells [4]. However, some cancer stem cell populations have been shown to be dependent on oxidative and mitochondrial metabolism.…”

“…Many proliferative cell types including activated lymphocytes, progenitor cells in the developing retina, cells of the preimplantation stage embryo [4], and tumor cells are highly glycolytic [5]. The correlation between high glycolytic activity and proliferation has been attributed to the increased demand for anabolic metabolism -the biosynthesis of macromoleculeswhich can be supported, in part, by increased levels of glycolytic intermediates that can be used in a number of biosynthetic reactions [5].…”

“…It is therefore speculated that in stem cells, the UPR mt is activated under a physiological condition when mitochondrial biogenesis is induced. Adult stem cells frequently exit the cell cycle and are predominantly found in the quiescent (G0) state, where the number of mitochondria is low and glycolysis is the primary metabolic pathway to support energy production (Folmes, Dzeja, Nelson & Terzic, 2012; Takubo et al., 2013; Warr & Passegue, 2013; Yu et al., 2013). As stem cells transit from quiescence to proliferation, mitochondrial biogenesis is induced to enable metabolic reprogramming from glycolysis to oxidative phosphorylation to meet increasing energy demands.…”
