The potential of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) in disease modeling and regenerative medicine is vast, but current methodologies remain inefficient. Understanding the cellular mechanisms underlying iPSC reprogramming, such as the metabolic shift from oxidative to glycolytic energy production, is key to improving its efficiency. We have developed a lentiviral reporter system to assay longitudinal changes in cell signaling and transcription factor activity in living cells throughout iPSC reprogramming of human dermal fibroblasts. We reveal early NF-κB, AP-1, and NRF2 transcription factor activation prior to a temporal peak in hypoxia inducible factor α (HIFα) activity. Mechanistically, we show that an early burst in oxidative phosphorylation and elevated reactive oxygen species generation mediates increased NRF2 activity, which in turn initiates the HIFα-mediated glycolytic shift and may modulate glucose redistribution to the pentose phosphate pathway. Critically, inhibition of NRF2 by KEAP1 overexpression compromises metabolic reprogramming and results in reduced efficiency of iPSC colony formation. Cells increase proliferation, OXPHOS, and ROS production early in reprogramming The antioxidant response is therefore active at this stage, prior to HIFα activation NRF2 promotes HIFα activation, the metabolic switch, and colony formation NRF2 activation is concomitant with glucose redistribution to the PPP Hawkins et al. examine the metabolic shift during iPSC reprogramming. They propose that increased proliferation of cells driven by transgene expression can lead to increased oxidative phosphorylation resulting in ROS production. Elevated ROS activates NRF2, promoting HIFα activation and the switch to glycolysis.
