ABSTRACT: Loss of regenerative capacity during ex vivo expansion of muscle stem cells hampers the development of cell-based therapies for skeletal muscle disorders. Here, we developed a method to isolate regenerative reserve cell fractions from expanded murine primary cultures using differential adhesion properties and the induction of subsequent cycles of proliferation and differentiation. Fast-adhering reserve cells (FRCs) were enriched for cells expressing myogenin and contributed efficiently to muscle regeneration following transplantation in immunodeficient hosts. Slow adhering reserve cells (SRCs) generated higher number of PAX7+ cells under differentiating conditions and predominantly regenerated muscle after a secondary injury, suggesting engraftment as muscle stem cells. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that FRCs were enriched for markers of myogenic differentiation, while SRCs were characterized by a distinctive set of cell-adhesion genes. Overall, reserve cells provide a valuable source for the study and identification of molecular determinants of regeneration using ex vivo-expanded muscle cells.
