Metabolic Assessment of Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells-Derived Astrocytes and Fetal Primary Astrocytes: Lactate and Glucose Turnover
Astrocytes represent one of the main cell types in the brain and play a crucial role in brain functions, including supplying the energy demand for neurons. Moreover, they are important regulators of metabolite levels. Glucose uptake and lactate production are some of the main observable metabolic ac...

description | Astrocytes represent one of the main cell types in the brain and play a crucial role in brain functions, including supplying the energy demand for neurons. Moreover, they are important regulators of metabolite levels. Glucose uptake and lactate production are some of the main observable metabolic actions of astrocytes. To gain insight into these processes, it is essential to establish scalable and functional sources for in vitro studies of astrocytes. In this study, we compared the metabolic turnover of glucose and lactate in astrocytes derived from human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived Astrocytes (hiAstrocytes) as a scalable astrocyte source to human fetal astrocytes (HFAs). Using a user-friendly, commercial flow-based biosensor, we could verify that hiAstrocytes are as glycogenic as their fetal counterparts, but their normalized metabolic turnover is lower. Specifically, under identical culture conditions in a defined media, HFAs have 2.3 times higher levels of lactate production compared to hiAstrocytes. In terms of glucose, HFAs have 2.1 times higher consumption levels than hiAstrocytes at 24 h. Still, as we describe their glycogenic phenotype, our study demonstrates the use of hiAstrocytes and flow-based biosensors for metabolic studies of astrocyte function. |
