Adverse intrauterine environments can cause persistent changes in epigenetic profiles of stem cells, increasing susceptibility of the offspring to developing metabolic diseases later in life. Effective approaches to restore the epigenetic landscape and function of stem cells remain to be determined. In this study, we investigated the effects of pharmaceutical activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), an essential regulator of energy metabolism, on mitochondrial programming of Wharton's Jelly mesenchymal stem cells (WJ-MSCs) from women with diabetes during pregnancy. Induction of myogenic differentiation of WJ-MSCs was associated with increased proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α) expression and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) abundance. Inhibition of DNA methylation by 5 Azacytidine significantly increased PGC-1α expression and mtDNA abundance in WJ-MSCs, which were abolished by AMPK inhibitor Compound C (CC), suggesting an AMPK-dependent role of DNA demethylation in regulating mitochondrial biogenesis in WJ-MSCs. Furthermore, activation of AMPK in diabetic WJ-MSCs by AICAR or metformin decreased the level of PGC-1α promoter methylation and increased PGC-1α expression. Notably, decreased PGC-1α promoter methylation by transient treatment of AMPK activators persisted after myogenic differentiation. This was associated with enhanced myogenic differentiation capacity of human WJ-MSCs and increased mitochondrial function. Taken together, our findings revealed an important role for AMPK activators in epigenetic regulation of mitochondrial biogenesis and myogenesis in WJ-MSCs, which could lead to potential therapeutics for preventing fetal mitochondrial programming and long-term adverse outcome in offspring of women with diabetes during pregnancy.
