muscle
N |
• normal skeletal muscle fiber histology at age P7, age 8 weeks, and in E18.5 embryos
• normal number of Pax7+ quiescent stem cells (QSCs)
• normal stem cell apoptosis rates in vitro
|
• delayed muscle regeneration after BaCl2 injection into tibialis anterior (TA) muscles at age 89 weeks: reduced number of myofibers with centrally located nuclei and reduced number of embryonic myosin heavy chain expressing myofibers 4 days after injection; reduced number of Pax7+ and MyoD+ cells 3 days after injection
• reduced myoblast proliferation after BaCl2 injection
• reduced in vitro proliferation of stem cells after BaCl2 injection
• increased fusion ability of stem cells in vitro (increased propensity for differentiation)
• normal regeneration activity 7 days after BaCl2 injection into tibialis anterior (TA) muscles at age 8-9 weeks, normal full regeneration 28 days after injection and normal number of Pax7+ cells 1 month after injection
