Conditions requiring skeletal muscle regeneration • Injury leading to extensive muscle damage • Inherited diseases – Duchenne’s muscular dystrophy: • X-linked mutation of dystrophin gene • 1:3500 males affected • Dystrophin (2.4 Mb in size) is the largest known mammalian gene • Onset of the disease: DMD-afflicted patients are diagnosed in childhood. The progressive muscle-wasting disease affects striated muscle including limb muscles, diaphragm, and heart leading to cardiorespiratory failure, and death usually occurs in the teenage years or early 20s.
Experimental models for studying muscle regeneration • Mdx mice: spontaneous mutation of the distrophin gene (variable severities in different inbred mouse strains) • Distrophin/utrophin double mutant mouse • Canine X-linked muscular dystrophy (cxmd) is the best representation of DMD, but the phenotype is variable.

Cellular sources for muscle regeneration • Satellite cells and their precursors • Endothelial cells associated with embryonic limb muscles • Mesangioblasts • Bone marow-derived stem cells • Pluripotent cells found within muscle-derived side population (SP) cells • Highly active Mdr-dependent expulsion of Hoechst 33342 dye

Muscle stem cells – satellite cells • The satellite cells reside beneath the basal lamina of muscle, closely juxtaposed to muscle fibers • Approximately up 2–7% of the nuclei associated with a particular fiber • Heterogeneous composition: fusing/non-fusing subsets • Ontogeny: somite/perivascular cells expressing Pax3/Pax7 • Surface markers • Mouse: M-cadherin, CD34, VCAM, CD56, c-met (HGF-receptor) • Human: CD56

Problems with myoblast regeneration in Duchenne’s muscular distrophy • Necessity for immunosuppression • Immunosuppressant drugs cause myoblast apoptosis • Short migratory distance following intramuscular injection – 100 injections/cm2 (totalling up to 4,000 injections in a single patient!)

Summary • The prime candidates for skeletal muscle regeneration are the satellite cells, but cells from other sources (embryonic as well as non-embryonic) may also associate/promote the process. • Muscle regeneration is accomplished through (a) promoting vascular repair, (b) cellular differentiation from muscle stem cells and (c) possible transdifferentiation.
