| Research Abstract |
Regeneration and repair of the skeletal muscle are carried out by satellite cells which are stem cells specific for a skeletal muscle. In this study, reserve cells of C2C12 cells, which were derived from satellite cells of a mouse, were used for investigation of both intrinsic and extrinsic factors which participate in reserve cell formation. I found that adapter protein Grb2, guanine nucleotide exchange factor Sos1, and Ras are necessary for reserve cell formation. While forced expression of Grb2 promoted the formation of reserve cells, constitutively active forms of Sos1 and Ras resulted in loss of reserve cells. These results demonstrates that signalling of Grb2-Sos1-Ras is indispensable to reserve cell formation, but excessive signaling causes decline in reserve cell formation.
