Muscle-derived CD45-SCA-1 + C-KIT- progenitor cells give rise to skeletal muscle myotubes in vitro

(Received 26 July 2002; accepted 19 December 2002)

SUMMARY

A stem cell population isolated from murine skeletal muscle has recently been shown to differentiate into hematopoietic cells after transplantation in vivo. In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that this cell population would also, under appropriate culture conditions, differentiate into skeletal muscle cells in vitro. Lower-extremity skeletal muscle tissue isolated from 3- to 4-wk-old mice was dissected free from bone and vessels, enzymalically digested, and flow cytometrically sorted to yield CD45^sup -^Sca-1^sup +^c-Kit^sup -^ (S+) cells. These cells were further sorted into CD34^sup +^ and CD34^sup -^ fractions and ...
