| Outline of Research at the Start |
筋幹細胞の活性化動態が観察可能な実験プラットフォームを構築後、損傷筋由来タンパク質を質量分析に投じ、同定したマイオカインを「DMDFs：Damaged myofiber-derived factors）」同定する。そして、マウス骨格筋に DMDFs を事前投与し、筋損傷を誘導後、筋幹細胞の増殖の程度を定量する。損傷した筋肉が DMDFsを放出することで、筋幹細胞を活性化させ自身の修復を図るという合理的な再生メカニズムの有無を検証する。

| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Here, we investigated whether damaged myofibers influence the activation of satellite cells. Our findings revealed that satellite cells are directly activated by damaged myofiber-derived factors (DMDFs). DMDFs induced satellite cells to enter the cell-cycle; however, the cells stayed at the G1 phase and did not undergo S phase, while these cells were reversible to the quiescent state. Proteome analysis identified metabolic enzymes including GAPDH as DMDFs, whose recombinant proteins stimulated the activation of satellite cells. Satellite cells pre-exposed to the DMDFs demonstrated accelerated proliferation ex vivo. Treatment with recombinant DMDFs prior to muscle injury promoted expansion of the satellite cell population in vivo. Thus, our results indicate that DMDFs are not only a set of biomarkers for muscle damage but also acting as moonlighting proteins involved in satellite cell activation at the initial step of muscle regeneration.
