        mTOR Plays an Important Role in the Stemness of Human Fetal Cartilage Progenitor Cells (hFCPCs)

        Shin Him-Cha,Kim Jiyoung,Park So Ra,Choi Byung Hyune 한국조직공학과 재생의학회 2024 조직공학과 재생의학 Vol.21 No.2

        BACKGROUND: Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is known to regulate self-renewal ability and potency of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and adult stem cells in opposite manners. However, its effects vary even among adult stem cells and are not reported in fetal stem/progenitor cells. This study investigated the role of mTOR in the function of human fetal cartilage-derived progenitor cells (hFCPCs). METHODS: mTOR activity in hFCPCs was first examined via the level of phosphor-mTOR until passage 19, together with doubling time of cells and senescence-associated b-galactosidase (SA-bGal). Then, the effect of 100 nM rapamycin, the inhibitor of mTOR, was investigated on self-renewal ability, proliferation rate and osteogenic/adipogenic potential of hFCPCs in vitro. Expression of stemness genes (Oct-4, Sox2 and Nanog) and cell cycle regulators (CDK4 and Cyclin D1) was measured at mRNA or protein levels. RESULTS: mTOR activity was maintained constantly at high levels in hFCPCs until passage 19, while their proliferation rate was decreasing from 48 h at passage 13 to 70 h at passage 9 and senescent cells were observed at passage 18 (8.3 ± 1.2%) and 19 (15.6 ± 1.9%). Inhibition of mTOR in hFCPCs impaired their colony forming frequency (CFU-F) by 4 folds, while showing no change in their doubling time and expression of CDK4 and Cyclin D1. Upon mTOR inhibition, Oct4 expression decreased by 2 folds and 4 folds at the mRNA and protein levels, respectively, while that of Sox2 and Nanog did not change significantly. Finally, mTOR inhibition reduced osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation of hFCPCs in vitro. CONCLUSION: This study has shown that mTOR plays an important role in the self-renewal ability of hFCPCS but not in their proliferation, The effect of mTOR appears to be associated with Oct-4 expression and important in the osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation ability of hFCPCs.
