Establishment of stably expandable induced myogenic stem cells by defined factors
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Numerous studies have been conducted to improve the supply of myogenic stem cells for patients with muscle disease, including Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Collecting muscle samples from patients in order to obtain myoblasts or satellite cells is very invasive. Thus, a new method for obtaining myogenic stem cells is required. Here, we established stably expandable induced myogenic stem cells (iMSCs) with defined factors. The iMSCs showed high expression levels of Pax7, Myf5, and MyoD. Also, the iMSCs differentiate into myotubes which are multinucleated fiber. Additionally, the iMSCs differentiated into myotubes, which are multinucleated fibers. We confirmed its myogenic differentiation capacity in mdx mice by detecting dystrophin-positive cells in iMSCs-injected TA muscles. The iMSCs showed higher proliferation capacity than MDSCs in both in vitro and vivo. This study suggests the possibility to apply directly converted expandable myogenic stem cells to muscle disease patients.
