Abstract
Skeletal muscle stem cells have a central role in muscle growth and regeneration. They reside as quiescent cells in resting muscle and in response to damage they transiently amplify and fuse to produce new myofibers or self-renew to replenish the stem cell pool. A signaling pathway that is critical in the regulation of all these processes is Notch. Despite the major differences in the anatomical and cellular niches between the embryonic myotome, the adult sarcolemma/basement-membrane interphase, and the regenerating muscle, Notch signaling has evolved to support the context-specific requirements of the muscle cells. In this review, we discuss the diverse ways by which Notch signaling factors and other modifying partners are operating during the lifetime of muscle stem cells to establish an adaptive dynamic network.
期刊介绍:
The only open access journal in its field, Skeletal Muscle publishes novel, cutting-edge research and technological advancements that investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the biology of skeletal muscle. Reflecting the breadth of research in this area, the journal welcomes manuscripts about the development, metabolism, the regulation of mass and function, aging, degeneration, dystrophy and regeneration of skeletal muscle, with an emphasis on understanding adult skeletal muscle, its maintenance, and its interactions with non-muscle cell types and regulatory modulators.
Main areas of interest include:
-differentiation of skeletal muscle-
atrophy and hypertrophy of skeletal muscle-
aging of skeletal muscle-
regeneration and degeneration of skeletal muscle-
biology of satellite and satellite-like cells-
dystrophic degeneration of skeletal muscle-
energy and glucose homeostasis in skeletal muscle-
non-dystrophic genetic diseases of skeletal muscle, such as Spinal Muscular Atrophy and myopathies-
maintenance of neuromuscular junctions-
roles of ryanodine receptors and calcium signaling in skeletal muscle-
roles of nuclear receptors in skeletal muscle-
roles of GPCRs and GPCR signaling in skeletal muscle-
other relevant aspects of skeletal muscle biology.
In addition, articles on translational clinical studies that address molecular and cellular mechanisms of skeletal muscle will be published. Case reports are also encouraged for submission.
Skeletal Muscle reflects the breadth of research on skeletal muscle and bridges gaps between diverse areas of science for example cardiac cell biology and neurobiology, which share common features with respect to cell differentiation, excitatory membranes, cell-cell communication, and maintenance. Suitable articles are model and mechanism-driven, and apply statistical principles where appropriate; purely descriptive studies are of lesser interest.
