Abstract Background Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) utilize discrete biosynthetic pathways to self-renew and differentiate into specific cell lineages, with undifferentiated hMSCs harbouring reliance on glycolysis and hMSCs differentiating towards an osteogenic phenotype relying on oxidative phosphorylation as an energy source. Methods In this study, the osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs was assessed and classified over 14 days using a non-invasive live-cell imaging modality—two-photon fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (2P-FLIM). This technique images and measures NADH fluorescence from which cellular metabolism is inferred. Results During osteogenesis, we observe a higher dependence on oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos) for cellular energy, concomitant with an increased reliance on anabolic pathways. Guided by these non-invasive observations, we validated this metabolic profile using qPCR and extracellular metabolite analysis and observed a higher reliance on glutaminolysis in the earlier time points of osteogenic differentiation. Based on the results obtained, we sought to promote glutaminolysis further by using lactate, to improve the osteogenic potential of hMSCs. Higher levels of mineral deposition and osteogenic gene expression were achieved when treating hMSCs with lactate, in addition to an upregulation of lactate metabolism and transmembrane cellular lactate transporters. To further clarify the interplay between glutaminolysis and lactate metabolism in osteogenic differentiation, we blocked these pathways using BPTES and α-CHC respectively. A reduction in mineralization was found after treatment with BPTES and α-CHC, demonstrating the reliance of hMSC osteogenesis on glutaminolysis and lactate metabolism. Conclusion In summary, we demonstrate that the osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs has a temporal metabolic profile and shift that is observed as early as day 3 of cell culture using 2P-FLIM. Furthermore, extracellular lactate is shown as an essential metabolite and metabolic fuel to ensure efficient osteogenic differentiation and as a signalling molecule to promote glutaminolysis. These findings have significant impact in the use of 2P-FLIM to discover potent approaches towards bone tissue engineering in vitro and in vivo by engaging directly with metabolite-driven osteogenesis.
