Abstract (original English)

Energy metabolism homeostasis emerges as a dominant element influencing mesenchymal stem/stromal cells' trajectory of development. The predominant glycolysis activity is a primary driver of cell proliferation and maintenance of the high-energetic state. Here, we examined the functions of two crucial auxiliary pathways: the phosphate-pentose pathway (PPP) and fructose-2,6-biphosphate pathway (FBP) to evaluate their impact on the therapeutic potential of Adipose-Derived Stem/Stromal cells (ASCs) during prolonged culture in various oxygen conditions: 5 % O 2 - physiological normoxia or 21 % O 2 - atmospheric oxygen. Our findings demonstrate that ASCs cultured in 5 % O 2 increased the rate of proliferation, migration, and expression of stemness factors, which is prominent during the initial and middle passages. Additionally, ASCs cultured in a 5 % O 2 exhibited heightened protection mechanisms against free radicals, increased LDH gene expression, and elevated extracellular acidification rate (ECAR). By estimating the HIF-1α level, we concluded that 5 % oxygen conditions were insufficient to induce a profound hypoxic state in ASCs. However, at the protein level, both the PPP and FBP pathways appeared to be more active in young (2-passage) cells, regardless of oxygen conditions, and their activity diminished over time. Additionally, the chemical suppression of G6PDH by Polydatin and
