Myogenic differentiation in adult muscle is normally suppressed and can be activated by myogenic cues in a subset of activated satellite cells. The switch mechanism that turns myogenesis on and off is not defined. In the present study, we demonstrate that tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 3 (TIMP3), the endogenous inhibitor of TNFalpha-converting enzyme (TACE), acts as an on-off switch for myogenic differentiation by regulating autocrine TNFalpha release. We observed that constitutively expressed TIMP3 is transiently downregulated in the satellite cells of regenerating mouse hindlimb muscles and differentiating C2C12 myoblasts. In C2C12 myoblasts, perturbing TIMP3 downregulation by overexpressing TIMP3 blocks TNFalpha release, p38 MAPK activation, myogenic gene expression and myotube formation. TNFalpha supplementation at a physiological concentration rescues myoblast differentiation. Similarly, in the regenerating soleus, overexpression of TIMP3 impairs release of TNFalpha and myogenic gene expression, and delays the formation of new fibers. In addition, downregulation of TIMP3 is mediated by the myogenesis-promoting microRNA miR-206. Thus, TIMP3 is a physiological regulator of myogenic differentiation.

Transgene expression in stem cells is a powerful means of regulating cellular properties and differentiation into various cell types. However, existing vectors for transgene expression in stem cells suffer from limitations such as the need for genomic integration, the transient nature of gene expression, and the inability to temporally regulate transgene expression, which hinder biomedical and clinical applications. Here we report a new class of RNA virus-based vectors for scalable and integration-free transgene expression in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs).

Diacylglycerol kinase δ (DGKδ) phosphorylates diacylglycerol to produce phosphatidic acid. Previously, we demonstrated that down-regulation of DGKδ suppresses the myogenic differentiation of C2C12 myoblasts. However, the myogenic roles of DGKδ in vivo remain unclear.

Cortactin (CTTN) is an actin-binding protein regulating actin polymerization and stabilization, which are vital processes for maintaining skeletal muscle homeostasis. Despite the established function of CTTN in actin cytoskeletal dynamics, its role in the myogenic differentiation of progenitor cells remains largely unexplored. In this study, we investigated the role of CTTN in the myogenic differentiation of C2C12 myoblasts by analyzing its effects on actin cytoskeletal remodeling, myocardin-related transcription factor A (MRTFA) nuclear translocation, serum response factor (SRF) activation, expression of myogenic transcription factors, and myotube formation.

Muscle stem cells (MuSCs) are essential for skeletal muscle regeneration, influenced by a complex interplay of mechanical, biochemical, and molecular cues. Properties of the extracellular matrix (ECM) such as stiffness and alignment guide stem cell fate through mechanosensitive pathways, where forces like shear stress translate into biochemical signals, affecting cell behavior. Aging introduces senescence which disrupts the MuSC niche, leading to reduced regenerative capacity via epigenetic alterations and metabolic shifts.

: Cultivated meat, an alternative to conventional meat, has substantial potential for alleviating environmental and ethical concerns. This method of manufacturing meat involves the isolation of skeletal muscle satellite cells (SMSCs) from donor animals, after which they proliferate in vitro and differentiate into primitive muscle fibers. The aim of this research was to evaluate how the insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) gene regulates the myogenic differentiation of bovine skeletal muscle satellite cells (bSMSCs).
