'''Myosatellite cells''', also known as '''satellite cells''' or, '''muscle stem cells''' or '''MuSCs''', are small [[multipotent]] cells with very little [[cytoplasm]] found in mature [[muscle]].<ref name="ReferenceBirbrair2015">{{cite journal | vauthors = Birbrair A, Delbono O | title = Pericytes are Essential for Skeletal Muscle Formation |year=2015 |last1=Birbrairjournal |first1=A. |last2=Delbono |first2=O. |journal=Stem Cell Reviews and Reports | volume = 11 | issue = 4 | pages = 547–548 | date = August 2015 | pmid = 25896402 | doi = 10.1007/s12015-015-9588-6 | s2cid = 12812499 }}</ref> Satellite cells are precursors to [[skeletal muscle]] cells, able to give rise to satellite cells or differentiated skeletal muscle cells.<ref name="rep1">{{cite journal | vauthors = Kadi F, Charifi N, Denis C, Lexell J, Andersen JL, Schjerling P, Olsen S, Kjaer M | display-authors = 6 | title = The behaviour of satellite cells in response to exercise: what have we learned from human studies? | journal = Pflügers Arch.Archiv | volume = 451 | issue = 2 | pages = 319–27319–327 | date = November 2005 | pmid = 16091958 | doi = 10.1007/s00424-005-1406-6 | s2cid = 21822010 }}</ref> They have the potential to provide additional [[myonuclei]] to their parent muscle fiber, or return to a [[wikt:quiescence|quiescent]] state.<ref name="kadi2">{{cite journal | vauthors = Kadi F, Schjerling P, Andersen LL, Charifi N, Madsen JL, Christensen LR, Andersen JL | title = The effects of heavy resistance training and detraining on satellite cells in human skeletal muscles | journal = J.The Physiol.Journal (Lond.)of Physiology | volume = 558 | issue = Pt 3 | pages = 1005–121005–1012 | date = August 2004 | pmid = 15218062 | pmc = 1665027 | doi = 10.1113/jphysiol.2004.065904 }}</ref> More specifically, upon activation, satellite cells can re-enter the cell cycle to proliferate and differentiate into [[myoblast]]s.<ref name="pmid21798086">{{cite journal | vauthors = Siegel AL, Kuhlmann PK, Cornelison DD | title = Muscle satellite cell proliferation and association: new insights from myofiber time-lapse imaging | journal = Skeletal Muscle | volume = 1 | issue = 1 | pages = 7 | date = February 2011 | pmid = 21798086 | pmc = 3157006 | doi = 10.1186/2044-5040-1-7 | doi-access = free }}</ref>

Their distribution across the fibre can vary significantly. Non-proliferative, quiescent myosatellite cells, which adjoin resting skeletal muscles, can be identified by their distinct location between sarcolemma and basal lamina, a high nuclear-to-cytoplasmic volume ratio, few organelles (e.g. ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, golgi complexes), small nuclear size, and a large quantity of nuclear heterochromatin relative to myonuclei. On the other hand, activated satellite cells have an increased number of [[caveolae]], cytoplasmic organelles, and decreased levels of heterochromatin.<ref name="rep1" /> Satellite cells are able to differentiate and fuse to augment existing [[muscle fibers]] and to form new fibers. These cells represent the oldest known adult [[stem cell]] niche, and are involved in the normal growth of muscle, as well as regeneration following injury or [[disease]].
 
In undamaged muscle, the majority of satellite cells are ''quiescent''; they neither differentiate nor undergo cell division. In response to mechanical strain, satellite cells become ''activated''. Activated satellite cells initially proliferate as skeletal [[myoblast]]s before undergoing myogenic [[Cellular differentiation|differentiation]].<ref name="ReferenceBirbrair2015"/>
 
== Structure ==
===Genetic markers===
Satellite cells express a number of distinctive [[genetic markers]]. Current thinking is that most satellite cells express [[PAX7]] and [[PAX3]].<ref name="pmid15843801">{{cite journal | vauthors = Relaix F, Rocancourt D, Mansouri A, Buckingham M | title = A Pax3/Pax7-dependent population of skeletal muscle progenitor cells | journal = Nature | volume = 435 | issue = 7044 | pages = 948–53948–953 | date = June 2005 | pmid = 15843801 | doi = 10.1038/nature03594 | hdl-access = free | s2cid = 4415583 | bibcode = 2005Natur.435..948R | hdl = 11858/00-001M-0000-0012-E8E0-9 | hdl-access = free }}</ref> Satellite cells in the head musculature have a unique developmental program,<ref name="pmid19531353">{{cite journal | vauthors = Harel I, Nathan E, Tirosh-Finkel L, Zigdon H, Guimarães-Camboa N, Evans SM, Tzahor E | title = Distinct origins and genetic programs of head muscle satellite cells | journal = Dev.Developmental Cell | volume = 16 | issue = 6 | pages = 822–32822–832 | date = June 2009 | pmid = 19531353 | pmc = 3684422 | doi = 10.1016/j.devcel.2009.05.007 }}</ref> and are Pax3-negative. Moreover, both quiescent and activated human satellite cells can be identified by the membrane-bound neural cell adhesion molecule (N-CAM/CD56/Leu-19), a cell-surface glycoprotein. Myocyte nuclear factor (MNF), and c-met proto-oncogene (receptor for hepatocyte growth factor ([[Hepatocyte growth factor|HGF]])) are less commonly used markers.<ref name="rep1" />

The field of satellite cell biology suffers from the same technical difficulties as other stem cell fields. Studies rely almost exclusively on [[Flow cytometry]] and fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis, which gives no information about cell lineage or behaviour. As such, the satellite cell niche is relatively ill-defined and it is likely that it consists of multiple sub-populations.
 
==Chức năngFunction ==
===Muscle repair===
When muscle cells undergo injury, quiescent satellite cells are released from beneath the [[basement membrane]]. They become activated and re-enter the cell cycle. These dividing cells are known as the "transit amplifying pool" before undergoing myogenic differentiation to form new (post-mitotic) myotubes. There is also evidence suggesting that these cells are capable of fusing with existing myofibers to facilitate growth and repair.<ref name="ReferenceBirbrair2015"/>

The process of muscle regeneration involves considerable remodeling of extracellular matrix and, where extensive damage occurs, is incomplete. Fibroblasts within the muscle deposit scar tissue, which can impair muscle function, and is a significant part of the pathology of [[muscular dystrophies]].

== Effects of exercise ==
Satellite cell activation is measured by the extent of proliferation and differentiation. Typically, satellite cell content is expressed per muscle fiber or as a percentage of total nuclear content, the sum of satellite cell nuclei and myonuclei. While the adaptive response to exercise largely varies on an individual basis on factors such as genetics, age, diet, acclimatization to exercise, and exercise volume, human studies have demonstrated general trends.<ref name="rep1" />
 
It is suggested that exercise triggers the release of signaling molecules including inflammatory substances, cytokines and growth factors from surrounding connective tissues and active skeletal muscles.<ref name="rep1" /> Notably, [[hepatocyte growth factor|HGF]], a cytokine, is transferred from the extracellular matrix into muscles through the nitric-oxide dependent pathway. It is thought that HGF activates satellite cells, while insulin-like growth factor-I ([[IGF-1]]) and [[fibroblast growth factor]] (FGF) enhance satellite cell proliferation rate following activation.<ref>{{cite journal | last1vauthors = Anderson | first1 = JE | last2 =, Wozniak | first2 = AC | year = 2004 | title = Satellite cell activation on fibers: modeling events in vivo—anvivo--an invited review | urljournal = |Canadian journalJournal =of CanPhysiology J Physioland PharmacolPharmacology | volume = 82 | issue = 5 | pages = 300–10300–310 | date = May 2004 | pmid = 15213729 | doi = 10.1139/y04-020| pmid = 15213729 }}</ref> Studies have demonstrated that intense exercise generally increases IGF-1 production, though individual responses vary significantly.<ref name="pmid11171591">{{cite journal | vauthors = Bamman MM, Shipp JR, Jiang J, Gower BA, Hunter GR, Goodman A, McLafferty CL, Urban RJ | display-authors = 6 | title = Mechanical load increases muscle IGF-I and androgen receptor mRNA concentrations in humans | journal = Am.American J.Journal Physiol.of EndocrinolPhysiology.

== Satellite cell activation and muscle regeneration ==
Satellite cells have a crucial role in muscle regeneration due to their ability to proliferate, differentiate, and self-renew. Prior to a severe injury to the muscle, satellite cells are in a dormant state. Slight proliferation can occur in times of light injuries but major injuries require greater numbers of satellite cells to activate. The activation of satellite cells from their dormant state is controlled through signals from the muscle niche. This signaling induces an inflammatory response in the muscle tissue. The behavior of satellite cells is a highly regulated process to accommodate the balance between dormant and active states.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Yablonka-Reuveni Z | title = The skeletal muscle satellite cell: still young and fascinating at 50 | journal = The Journal of Histochemistry and Cytochemistry | volume = 59 | issue = 12 | pages = 1041–1059 | date = December 2011 | pmid = 22147605 | pmc = 3283088 | doi = 10.1369/0022155411426780 }}</ref> In times of injury, satellite cells in myofibers receive signals to proliferate from proteins in the crushed skeletal muscle. Myofibers are fundamental elements in muscle made up of actin and myosin myofibrils. The proteins responsible for signaling the activation of satellite cells are called mitogens. A mitogen is a small protein that induces a cell to enter the cell cycle. When the cells receive signals from the neurons, it causes the myofibers to depolarize and release calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. The release of calcium induces the actin and myosin filaments to move and contract the muscle. Studies found that transplanted satellite cells onto myofibers supported multiple regenerations of new muscle tissue. These findings support the hypothesis that satellite cells are the stem cells in muscles. Dependent on their relative position to daughter cells on myofibers, satellite cells undergo asymmetric and symmetric division. The niche and location determines the behavior of satellite cells in their proliferation and differentiation. In general, mammalian skeletal muscle is relatively stable with little myonuclei turnover. Minor injuries from daily activities can be repaired without inflammation or cell death. Major injuries contribute to myofiber necrosis, inflammation, and cause satellite cells to activate and proliferate. The process of myofiber necrosis to myofiber formation results in muscle regeneration.<ref name = "Yin_2013" />
 
Muscle regeneration occurs in three overlapping stages. The inflammatory response, activation and differentiation of satellite cells, and maturation of the new myofibers are essential for muscle regeneration. This process begins with the death of damaged muscle fibers where dissolution of myofiber sarcolemma leads to an increase in myofiber permeability. The disruption in myofiber integrity is seen in increased plasma levels in muscle proteins. The death of myofibers drives a calcium influx from the sarcoplasmic reticulum to induce tissue degradation. An inflammatory response follows the necrosis of myofibers. During times of muscle growth and regeneration, satellite cells can travel over between myofibers and muscle and over connective tissue barriers. Signals from the damaged environment induce these behavioral changes in satellite cells.<ref name="Yin_2013" />
 
==Research==
Upon minimal stimulation, satellite cells ''in vitro'' or ''in vivo'' will undergo a myogenic differentiation program.
 
Unfortunately, it seems that transplanted satellite cells have a limited capacity for migration, and are only able to regenerate muscle in the region of the delivery site. As such, systemic treatments or even the treatment of an entire muscle in this way is not possible. However, other cells in the body such as [[pericytes]] and [[hematopoietic stem cells]] have all been shown to be able to contribute to muscle repair in a similar manner to the endogenous satellite cell. The advantage of using these cell types for therapy in muscle diseases is that they can be systemically delivered, autonomously migrating to the site of injury. Particularly successful recently has been the delivery of [[mesoangioblast]] cells into the [[Golden Retriever]] dog model of [[Duchenne muscular dystrophy]], which effectively cured the disease.<ref name="pmid17108972">{{cite journal | vauthors = Sampaolesi M, Blot S, D'Antona G, Granger N, Tonlorenzi R, Innocenzi A, Mognol P, Thibaud JL, Galvez BG, Barthélémy I, Perani L, Mantero S, Guttinger M, Pansarasa O, Rinaldi C, Cusella De Angelis MG, Torrente Y, Bordignon C, Bottinelli R, Cossu G | display-authors = 6 | title = Mesoangioblast stem cells ameliorate muscle function in dystrophic dogs | journal = Nature | volume = 444 | issue = 7119 | pages = 574–9574–579 | date = November 2006 | pmid = 17108972 | doi = 10.1038/nature05282 | s2cid = 62808421 | bibcode = 2006Natur.444..574S | url = https://lirias.kuleuven.be/bitstream/123456789/187585/1/15+Sampaolesi+NATURE+2006%20Sampaolesi%20NATURE%202006.pdf }}</ref> However, the sample size used was relatively small and the study has since been criticized for a lack of appropriate controls for the use of immunosuppressive drugs.
Recently, it has been reported that Pax7 expressing cells contribute to dermal wound repair by adopting a fibrotic phenotype through a Wnt/β-catenin mediated process.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Amini-Nik S, Glancy D, etalBoimer C, Whetstone H, Keller C, Alman BA | title = Pax7 expressing cells contribute to dermal wound repair, regulating scar size through a β-catenin mediated process | journal = Stem Cells | volume = 29 | issue = 9 | pages = 1371–91371–1379 | yeardate = September 2011 | pmid = 21739529 | doi = 10.1002/stem.688 | s2cid = 206518139 | doi-access = free }}</ref>
 
===Regulation===
Little is known of the regulation of satellite cells. Whilst together [[PAX3]] and [[PAX7]] currently form the definitive satellite markers, Pax genes are notoriously poor transcriptional activators. The dynamics of activation and quiesence and the induction of the myogenic program through the ''myogenic regulatory factors'', [[Myf5]], [[MyoD]], [[myogenin]], and [[MRF4]] remains to be determined.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = McCroskery S, Thomas M, Maxwell L, Sharma M, Kambadur R | title = Myostatin negatively regulates satellite cell activation and self-renewal | journal = The Journal of Cell Biology | volume = 162 | issue = 6 | pages = 1135–1147 | date = September 2003 | pmid = 12963705 | pmc = 2172861 | doi = 10.1083/jcb.200207056 }}</ref>
 
There is some research indicating that satellite cells are negatively regulated by a protein called [[myostatin]]. Increased levels of myostatin up-regulate a [[cyclin-dependent kinase]] inhibitor called [[p21]] and thereby inhibit the differentiation of satellite cells.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = McCroskery S, Thomas M, Maxwell L, Sharma M, Kambadur R | title = Myostatin negatively regulates satellite cell activation and self-renewal. | journal = JThe Journal of Cell BiolBiology | volume = 162 | issue = 6 | pages = 1135–471135–1147 | yeardate = September 2003 | pmid = 12963705 | pmc = 2172861 | doi = 10.1083/jcb.200207056 | pmc=2172861}}</ref>

An overview of the culturing process first involves the selection of a cell source. This initial stage is where the selection of a meat type happens, for example if the desired product is beef then cells are taken from a cow. The next part involves isolating and sorting out the myosatellite cells from whatever the selected cell source was. After being separated into the cellular components, the myosatellite cells need to be proliferated through the use of a [[bioreactor]], a device used to grow microorganisms or cells in a media that can be easily controlled.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Bioreactors — Introduction to Chemical and Biological Engineering |url=https://www.engr.colostate.edu/CBE101/topics/bioreactors.html |access-date=2023-11-17 |website=www.engr.colostate.edu}}</ref> Whatever media chosen will simulate the cells being in prime condition to proliferate within an organism. After proliferation the cells are shaped using a scaffold. These scaffolds can be an organic structure like decellularized plant or animal tissues, inorganic such as [[polyacrylamide]], or a mix of both.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2021-01-29 |title=Cultivated meat scaffolding {{!}} Deep dive {{!}} GFI |url=https://gfi.org/science/the-science-of-cultivated-meat/deep-dive-cultivated-meat-scaffolding/ |access-date=2023-11-17 |website=gfi.org |language=en-US}}</ref> Once the cells have attached themselves to the scaffold and fully matured, they have become a raw meat product. The final step will include any necessary food processes needed for the desired final product.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Reiss J, Robertson S, Suzuki M | title = Cell Sources for Cultivated Meat: Applications and Considerations throughout the Production Workflow | journal = International Journal of Molecular Sciences | volume = 22 | issue = 14 | pages = 7513 | date = July 2021 | pmid = 34299132 | pmc = 8307620 | doi = 10.3390/ijms22147513 | doi-access = free }}</ref>
There is some research indicating that satellite cells are negatively regulated by a protein called [[myostatin]]. Increased levels of myostatin up-regulate a [[cyclin-dependent kinase]] inhibitor called [[p21]] and thereby inhibit the differentiation of satellite cells.<ref>{{cite journal |vauthors=McCroskery S, Thomas M, Maxwell L, Sharma M, Kambadur R | title = Myostatin negatively regulates satellite cell activation and self-renewal. | journal = J Cell Biol | volume = 162 | issue = 6 | pages = 1135–47 | year = 2003 | pmid = 12963705 | doi = 10.1083/jcb.200207056 | pmc=2172861}}</ref>
