A continuous supply of energy and metabolic intermediates is an essential prerequisite for survival and the highest priority for the cell. We hypothesize that cell differentiation is a process of optimization of energy flow in a changing environment through phenotypic adaptation. A mechanistic basis of this hypothesis is provided by the established link between core energy metabolism and epigenetic covalent modifications of chromatin. This hypothesis predicts that early metabolic perturbations impact subsequent differentiation. To test this, we induced transient metabolic perturbations in undifferentiated human hematopoietic cells using pharmacological inhibitors targeting key metabolic reactions. We recorded changes in chromatin structure and gene expression, as well as phenotypic alterations by single-cell ATAC and RNA sequencing, time-lapse microscopy and flow cytometry. Our observations suggest that these metabolic perturbations are shortly followed by alterations in chromatin structure, leading to changes in gene expression. We also show that these transient fluctuations alter the differentiation potential of the cells.
