Ultraviolet A (UVA) irradiation exerts negative effects on stemness and differentiation potential of stem cells. This study aimed to explore the effect of sinapic acid on UVA-irradiation-induced damages to stemness and differentiation potential of human-adipose-tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hAMSCs) and its UVA-antagonist mechanisms. Sinapic acid attenuated UVA-induced reduction in the proliferative potential and stemness by upregulating OCT4, SOX2, and NANOG. In addition, sinapic acid significantly recovered UVA-induced reduction in expression level of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α. The antagonist effect of sinapic acid against stemness damage was mediated by reduceing PGE 2  production through inhibition of p38 MAPK and NF-κB. Moreover, sinapic acid attenuated UVA-induced reduction in differentiation potential by downregulating the expression of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) and Kruppel-like factor (KLF) 2 gene while activating AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). UVA-induced inhibition of adipogenic differentiation was mediated by reducing MIF production through suppression of NF-κB. Taken together, these findings suggest that sinapic acid may ameliorate UVA-irradiation-induced reduced stemness and differentiation potential of hAMSCs. Therefore, sinapic acid might have potential as an antagonist agent to attenuate damages caused by UVA.
