Gene profiling of quiescent and activated skeletal muscle satellite cells by an in vivo approach
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The satellite cell of skeletal muscle provides a paradigm for quiescent and activated tissue stem cell states. We have carried out transcriptome analyses by comparing satellite cells from adult skeletal muscles, where they are mainly quiescent, with cells from growing muscles, regenerating (mdx) muscles, or with cells in culture, where they are activated. Our study gives new insights into the satellite cell biology during activation and in respect with its niche. We used microarrays to study the global programme of gene expression underlying adult satellite cell quiescence compared to activation states and to identify distinct classes of up-regulated genes in these two different states
