High glucose induces the aging of mesenchymal stem cells via Akt/mTOR signaling

It has previously been demonstrated that glucose is important in the process of stem cell aging. However, the mechanisms of cell senescence induced by high glucose (HG) remain to be elucidated. The preliminary study indicated that D-galactose induced mesenchymal stem cell (MSCs) aging. The present study demonstrated, following treatment with 11.0 or 22.0 mM HG for 14 days, that HG significantly promoted MSCs aging and the expression levels of phosphorylated (p-)phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B (Akt) and p-mammalian target of rapamycin signaling (mTOR) in the HG groups were increased compared with the control group. However, following Akt inhibition with 1.0 or 10.0 nM MK-2206, which is an Akt-specific small molecule inhibitor, the senescence-cell value in the HG group was significantly decreased compared with the control group. These results indicated that HG induced MSCs senescence and this effect was primarily mediated via the Akt/mTOR signaling pathway.
