Over the last years, the existence of different stem cells with myogenic potential has been widely investigated. Besides the classical skeletal muscle progenitors represented by satellite cells, numerous multipotent and embryologically unrelated progenitors with a potential role in muscle differentiation and repair have been identified. In order to conceive a therapeutic approach for degenerative muscle disorders, it is of primary importance to identify an ideal stem cell endowed with all the features for a possible use in vivo. Among all emerging populations, vessel-associated stem cells are a novel and promising class of multipotent progenitors of mesodermal origin and with high myogenic potential which seem to best fit all the requirements for a possible cell therapy. In vitro and in vivostudies have already tested the effectiveness and safety of vessel-associated stem cells in animal models. This leads to the concrete possibility in the future to start pilot human clinical trials, hopefully opening the way to a turning point in the treatment of genetic and acquired muscle disorders. 相似文献

Asymmetric self-renewal and commitment of satellite stem cells in muscle 总被引:20,自引:0,他引:20
Satellite cells play a central role in mediating the growth and regeneration of skeletal muscle. However, whether satellite cells are stem cells, committed progenitors, or dedifferentiated myoblasts has remained unclear. Using Myf5-Cre and ROSA26-YFP Cre-reporter alleles, we observed that in vivo 10% of sublaminar Pax7-expressing satellite cells have never expressed Myf5. Moreover, we found that Pax7(+)/Myf5(-) satellite cells gave rise to Pax7(+)/Myf5(+) satellite cells through apical-basal oriented divisions that asymmetrically generated a basal Pax7(+)/Myf5(-) and an apical Pax7(+)/Myf5(+) cells. Prospective isolation and transplantation into muscle revealed that whereas Pax7(+)/Myf5(+) cells exhibited precocious differentiation, Pax7(+)/Myf5(-) cells extensively contributed to the satellite cell reservoir throughout the injected muscle. Therefore, we conclude that satellite cells are a heterogeneous population composed of stem cells and committed progenitors. These results provide critical insights into satellite cell biology and open new avenues for therapeutic treatment of neuromuscular diseases. 相似文献

Oriented cell divisions and muscle satellite cell heterogeneity 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Satellite cells are crucial for maintaining muscle homeostasis and for regeneration following injury. In this issue, Kuang et al. (2007) reveal that muscle satellite cells are a heterogeneous mixture of stem cells and committed myogenic progenitors. They show that asymmetric division of stem cells in the satellite cell niche is a mechanism for generating these two populations. 相似文献

Myogenic specification of side population cells in skeletal muscle 总被引:34,自引:0,他引:34
Skeletal muscle contains myogenic progenitors called satellite cells and muscle-derived stem cells that have been suggested to be pluripotent. We further investigated the differentiation potential of muscle-derived stem cells and satellite cells to elucidate relationships between these two populations of cells. FACS(R) analysis of muscle side population (SP) cells, a fraction of muscle-derived stem cells, revealed expression of hematopoietic stem cell marker Sca-1 but did not reveal expression of any satellite cell markers. Muscle SP cells were greatly enriched for cells competent to form hematopoietic colonies. Moreover, muscle SP cells with hematopoietic potential were CD45 positive. However, muscle SP cells did not differentiate into myocytes in vitro. By contrast, satellite cells gave rise to myocytes but did not express Sca-1 or CD45 and never formed hematopoietic colonies. Importantly, muscle SP cells exhibited the potential to give rise to both myocytes and satellite cells after intramuscular transplantation. In addition, muscle SP cells underwent myogenic specification after co-culture with myoblasts. Co-culture with myoblasts or forced expression of MyoD also induced muscle differentiation of muscle SP cells prepared from mice lacking Pax7 gene, an essential gene for satellite cell development. Therefore, these data document that satellite cells and muscle-derived stem cells represent distinct populations and demonstrate that muscle-derived stem cells have the potential to give rise to myogenic cells via a myocyte-mediated inductive interaction. 相似文献

Limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2H (LGMD2H) is an inherited autosomal recessive disease of skeletal muscle caused by a mutation in the TRIM32 gene. Currently its pathogenesis is entirely unclear. Typically the regeneration process of adult skeletal muscle during growth or following injury is controlled by a tissue specific stem cell population termed satellite cells. Given that TRIM32 regulates the fate of mammalian neural progenitor cells through controlling their differentiation, we asked whether TRIM32 could also be essential for the regulation of myogenic stem cells. Here we demonstrate for the first time that TRIM32 is expressed in the skeletal muscle stem cell lineage of adult mice, and that in the absence of TRIM32, myogenic differentiation is disrupted. Moreover, we show that the ubiquitin ligase TRIM32 controls this process through the regulation of c-Myc, a similar mechanism to that previously observed in neural progenitors. Importantly we show that loss of TRIM32 function induces a LGMD2H-like phenotype and strongly affects muscle regeneration in vivo. Our studies implicate that the loss of TRIM32 results in dysfunctional muscle stem cells which could contribute to the development of LGMD2H. 相似文献

A new look at the origin, function, and "stem-cell" status of muscle satellite cells 总被引:44,自引:0,他引:44
Muscle satellite cells have long been considered a distinct myogenic lineage responsible for postnatal growth, repair, and maintenance of skeletal muscle. Recent studies in mice, however, have revealed the potential for highly purified hematopoietic stem cells from bone marrow to participate in muscle regeneration. Perhaps more significantly, a population of putative stem cells isolated directly from skeletal muscle efficiently reconstitutes the hematopoietic compartment and participates in muscle regeneration following intravenous injection in mice. The plasticity of muscle stem cells has raised important questions regarding the relationship between the muscle-derived stem cells and the skeletal muscle satellite cells. Furthermore, the ability of hematopoietic cells to undergo myogenesis has prompted new investigations into the embryonic origin of satellite cells. Recent developmental studies suggest that a population of satellite cells is derived from progenitors in the embryonic vasculature. Taken together, these studies provide the first evidence that pluripotential stem cells are present within adult skeletal muscle. Tissue-specific stem cells, including satellite cells, may share a common embryonic origin and possess the capacity to activate diverse genetic programs in response to environmental stimuli. Manipulation of such tissue-specific stem cells may eventually revolutionize therapies for degenerative diseases, including muscular dystrophy. 相似文献

Although the amount of experimental data on the behavior of the hemopoietic system after various perturbations is considerable, a conclusive understanding of hemopoietic regulation is still absent. In the last years, we have examined murine erythropoiesis, thrombopoiesis, granulopoiesis, and stem cell hemopoiesis by means of mathematical modeling in order to identify some of the underlying principles. Our results can be summarized in four hypotheses. 1) The regulation of hemopoiesis is governed by three interrelated control loops: autoregulation of stem cells, feedback from progenitors and precursors to the stem cells, and feedback from mature cells to progenitor and precursor cells. 2) The feedback from mature cells to the progenitor and precursor cells predominantly varies the number of cell divisions taking place during hemopoietic maturation. 3) Two distinct properties of the stem cells are regulated: their cyclic activity and their self-renewal. Both are under the control of stem cell autoregulation and the feedback from progenitors and precursors. 4) A large variance in the maturation time from the stem cells to the mature cells stabilizes the hemopoietic control. The mathematical formulation of these assumptions allows us to understand a broad range of experimental observations including recovery from stem cell damage, hypoproliferative and hyperproliferative situations, and interactions between different cell lines. 相似文献

Skeletal muscle growth and regeneration rely on myogenic progenitor and satellite cells, the stem cells of postnatal muscle. Elimination of Notch signals during mouse development results in premature differentiation of myogenic progenitors and formation of very small muscle groups. Here we show that this drastic effect is rescued by mutation of the muscle differentiation factor MyoD. However, rescued myogenic progenitors do not assume?a satellite cell position and contribute poorly to myofiber growth. The disrupted homing is due to a deficit in basal lamina assembly around emerging satellite cells and to their impaired adhesion to myofibers. On a molecular level, emerging satellite cells deregulate the expression of basal lamina components and adhesion molecules like integrin α7, collagen XVIIIα1, Megf10, and Mcam. We conclude that Notch signals control homing of satellite cells, stimulating them to?contribute to their own microenvironment and to adhere to myofibers. 相似文献

Stem cell regulation by lysophospholipids 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) regulate a diverse range of mammalian cell processes, largely through engaging multiple G protein-coupled receptors specific for these lysophospholipids. LPA and S1P have been clearly identified to have widespread physiological and pathophysiological actions, controlling events within the reproductive, gastrointestinal, vascular, nervous and immune systems, and also having a prominent role in cancer. Here we review the recent literature showing the additional emerging role for LPA and S1P in the regulation of stem cells and their progenitors. We discuss the role of these lysophospholipids in regulating the proliferation, survival, differentiation and migration of a range of adult and embryonic stem cells and progenitors, and thus are likely to play a substantial role in the maintenance, generation, mobilisation and homing of stem cell and progenitor populations in the body. 相似文献

Satellite cells are tissue-specific stem cells responsible for skeletal muscle growth and regeneration. Although satellite cells were identified almost 50 years ago, the identity of progenitor populations from which they derive remains controversial. We developed MyoDiCre knockin mice, and used Cre/lox lineage analysis to determine whether satellite cell progenitors express MyoD, a marker of myogenic commitment. Recombination status of satellite cells was determined by confocal microscopy of isolated muscle fibers and by electron microscopic observation of muscle tissue fixed immediately following isolation, using R26R-EYFP and R26R (β-gal) reporter mice, respectively. We show that essentially all adult satellite cells associated with limb and body wall musculature, as well as the diaphragm and extraocular muscles, originate from MyoD+ progenitors. Neonatal satellite cells were Cre-recombined, but only a small minority exhibited ongoing Cre expression, indicating that most satellite cells had expressed MyoD prenatally. We also show that satellite cell development in MyoD-null mice is not due to functional compensation by MyoD non-expressing lineages. The results suggest that satellite cells are derived from committed myogenic progenitors, irrespective of the anatomical location, embryological origin, or physiological properties of associated musculature. 相似文献

Cellular and molecular signatures of muscle regeneration: current concepts and controversies in adult myogenesis 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
Adult skeletal muscle generates force in a controlled and directed manner through the contraction of highly specialized, postmitotic, multinucleated myofibers. Life-long muscle function relies on maintenance and regeneration of myofibers through a highly regulated process beginning with activation of normally quiescent muscle precursor cells and proceeding with formation of proliferating progenitors that fuse to generate differentiated myofibers. In this review, we describe the historical basis and current evidence for the identification of satellite cells as adult muscle stem cells, critically evaluate contributions of other cells to adult myogenesis, and summarize existing data regarding the origins, genetic markers, and molecular regulation of satellite cells in normal, diseased, and aged muscle. 相似文献

Skeletal muscle is a post-mitotic tissue maintained by repair and regeneration through a population of stem cell-like satellite cells. Following muscle injury, satellite cell proliferation is mediated by local signals ensuring sufficient progeny for tissue repair. Age–related changes in satellite cells as well as to the local and systemic environment potentially impact on the capacity of satellite cells to generate sufficient progeny in an ageing organism resulting in diminished regeneration. ‘Rejuvenation’ of satellite cell progeny and regenerative capacity by environmental stimuli effectors suggest that a subset of age-dependent satellite cell changes may be reversible. Epigenetic regulation of satellite stem cells that include DNA methylation and histone modifications which regulate gene expression are potential mechanisms for such reversible changes and have been shown to control organismal longevity. The area of health and ageing that is likely to benefit soonest from advances in the biology of adult stem cells is the emerging field of regenerative medicine. Further studies are needed to elucidate the mechanisms by which epigenetic modifications regulate satellite stem cell function and will require an increased understanding of stem-cell biology, the environment of the aged tissue and the interaction between the two. 相似文献

A highly heterogeneous population of stem and progenitor cells has been described by light immunohistochemistry in the mammalian adult heart, but the ultrastructural identity of cardiac stem cells remains unknown. Using electron microscopy, we demonstrate the presence of cells with stem features in the adult mouse heart. These putative cardiac stem cells are small (6–10 μm), round cells, with an irregular shaped nucleus, large nucleolus, few endoplasmic reticulum cisternae and mitochondria, but numerous ribosomes. Stem cells located in the epicardial stem cell niche undergo mitosis and apoptosis. Cells with intermediate features between stem cells and cardiomyocyte progenitors have also been seen. Moreover, electron microscopy showed that cardiomyocyte progenitors were added to the peripheral working cardiomyocytes. Telocytes make a supportive interstitial network for stem cells and progenitors in the stem cell niche. This study enhances the hypothesis of a unique type of cardiac stem cell and progenitors in different stages of differentiation. In our opinion, stem cells, cardiomyocyte progenitors and telocytes sustain a continuous cardiac renewal process in the adult mammalian heart. 相似文献

Neural stem cells in the mammalian eye: types and regulation 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Ahmad I Das AV James J Bhattacharya S Zhao X 《Seminars in cell & developmental biology》2004,15(1):53-62
Neural stem cells/progenitors that give rise to neurons and glia have been identified in different regions of the brain, including the embryonic retina. Recently, such cells have been reported to be present, in a mitotically quiescent state, in the ciliary epithelium of the adult mammalian eye. The retinal and ciliary epithelium stem cells/progenitors appear to share similar signaling pathways that are emerging as important regulators of stem cells in general. Yet, they are different in certain respects, such as in the potential to self-renew. These two neural stem cell/progenitor populations not only will serve as models for investigating stem cell biology but also will help explain the relationships between embryonic and adult neural stem cells/progenitors. 相似文献

In vitro generation of long-term repopulating hematopoietic stem cells by fibroblast growth factor-1
de Haan G Weersing E Dontje B van Os R Bystrykh LV Vellenga E Miller G 《Developmental cell》2003,4(2):241-251
The role of fibroblast growth factors and their receptors (FGFRs) in the regulation of normal hematopoietic stem cells is unknown. Here we show that, in mouse bone marrow, long-term repopulating stem cells are found exclusively in the FGFR(+) cell fraction. During differentiation toward committed progenitors, stem cells show loss of FGFR expression. Prolonged culture of bone marrow cells in serum-free medium supplemented with only FGF-1 resulted in robust expansion of multilineage, serially transplantable, long-term repopulating hematopoietic stem cells. Thus, we have identified a simple method of generating large numbers of rapidly engrafting stem cells that have not been genetically manipulated. Our results show that the multipotential properties of stem cells are dependent on signaling through FGF receptors and that FGF-1 plays an important role in hematopoietic stem cell homeostasis. 相似文献

Optimal production of red cells in vivo requires collaboration between c-Kit, erythropoietin receptor (Epo-R), and GATA-1. However, the mechanism(s) of collaboration remain unclear. Utilizing an embryonic stem cell-derived erythroid progenitor cell line from mice deficient in GATA-1, we have examined the role of c-Kit and Epo-R in erythroid cell proliferation, survival, and differentiation. In the absence of GATA-1, we demonstrate an essential role for c-Kit in survival and proliferation of erythroid progenitors via the regulation of Bcl-2 expression. In addition, we demonstrate that Epo-R and Stat5 are regulated by a second, novel mechanism. We demonstrate that c-Kit stimulation by stem cell factor is essential for the maintenance of Epo-R and Stat5 protein expression, which results in significantly enhanced Bcl-x(L) induction and survival of erythroid progenitors in response to Epo stimulation. Restoration of GATA-1 function results in terminal erythroid maturation and up-regulation of Epo-R and Bcl-x(L) expression, leading also to significantly enhanced survival of terminally differentiating erythroid progenitors in the presence of only Epo. These results demonstrate that c-Kit and Epo-R have unique role(s) during distinct phases of erythroid maturation, and both stem cell factor and Epo contribute to the regulation of the Epo-R-Stat5-Bcl-x(L) pathway to ensure optimal survival, proliferation, and differentiation of erythroid progenitors. 相似文献

A recent trend in hematological research fields has been to isolate and characterize hematopoietic stem cells/progenitors and their growth factors (hemopoietins) to gain a much better understanding of the nature of the stem cell and the mechanisms regulating its development. It is generally accepted that all the various types of blood cells develop from a single progenitor called a hematopoietic stem cell. Quantitative studies of the function of hemopoietic stem cells began two decades ago with the development of a spleen colony assay, and then, clonal cell culture techniques for committed progenitors were developed with several models for hematopoietic differentiation being proposed. Within the last few years, some hormones have been discovered that are known as hematopoietic growth hormones or hemopoietins, each of which is of protein nature and causes specific classes of blood cells to be made and primed. These hormones also enhance the function of the mature cells, the genes of which have recently been cloned. On the other hand, long-term bone marrow culture has recently permitted detailed investigations of the relationship between hematopoietic cells and the microenvironment in which they are found, e.g. stromal cells, in vitro, relating to the regulation of cell proliferation and differentiation. Further, in hematological fields, other bioactive factors including differentiation-inducing compounds, e. g. bioactive glycosphingolipids, and leukocyte-endothelial cell recognition molecules (adhesion receptors) have been discovered, the molecular mechanism(s) of which have yet to be elucidated. This communication focuses on recent advances in research on soluble hemopoietins and other bioactive factors relating to differentiation-induction and to cell-to-cell recognition. 相似文献

The trans-differentiation hypothesis of adult tissue-specific stem cells has been recently questioned because of insufficient proof that the so-called plasticity experiments were performed on pure populations of tissue-specific stem cells. It was shown recently, for example, that the formation of haematopoietic colonies by muscle cells depended on the presence of haematopoietic stem/progenitor cells residing within the muscle tissue and hence was not related to the plasticity of the muscle stem cells. The explanation for the presence in, or homing into, muscles of haematopoietic stem cells is, however, not clear. In our study, we hypothesised that muscle tissues secrete stromal-derived factor (SDF)- 1, an alpha-chemokine for haematopoietic stem cells (HSC), which could attract HSC circulating in peripheral blood into muscle tissue. We found, using RT-PCR and immunocytochemistry, that SDF-1 was expressed in human heart and skeletal muscles. Moreover, muscle satellite cells, which are pivotal for regeneration of muscle, highly expressed on their surface CXCR4, a G-protein-coupled receptor that binds SDF-1. To determine whether the CXCR4 receptor is functional on muscle satellite/progenitor cells, we stimulated murine satellite cells (the C2C12 cell line) with SDF-1 and demonstrated the phosphorylation of p42/44 MAPK and AKT serine-threonine kinase in these cells. Moreover, we showed that SDF-1 gradient chemoattracts these cells. We postulate that the CXCR4-positive muscle satellite and CXCR4-positive HSC circulating in the peripheral blood compete for occupancy of SDF-1-positive stem cell niches that are present in bone marrow and muscle tissues. Thus, we suggest that competition for common niches by various circulating CXCR4-positive stem cells and their ability to home to the SDF-1-positive niches in various organs, is a better explanation than stem cell plasticity of why (i) haematopoietic colonies can be cultured from muscles and (ii) early muscle progenitors could be cultured from bone marrow. 相似文献
