Purification of human muscle satellite cells by flow cytometry

Abstract: To purify satellite cells directly from human muscle biopsies, we have developed a method based on size separation of dissociated cells by flow cytometry. Immediately after tryptic dissociation of human muscle biopsies and elimination of erythrocytes, microscopic observation and flow cytometry analysis of cell suspensions revealed two populations of cells differing in size and nucleocytoplasmic ratio. Clonal cultures of these two cell types with a manual procedure demonstrated that only the small cells were my… Show more

“…Thus, desmin appears to be a marker of post-embryonic striated muscle cells irrespective of their stage of differentiation, except for bovine and some avian muscle precursor cells (Grounds, 1991). NCAM, in contrast, is rarely detectable in quiescent satellite cells (at least in mouse and rat, this study and Grounds, 1991) and present only in a (more mature) fraction of the myoblasts (Baroffio et al, 1993;MacCalman et al, 1992; this paper, and un- published observations). NCAM persists at later stages (myotubes and muscle fibers) until functional innervation is acquired (Covault and Sanes, 1986;Cashman et al, 1987;Wernig et al, 1991;Irintchev et al, 1993).…”

“…Cell Culture-Muscle samples, cell dissociation, and clonal culture from satellite cells were prepared as previously described (33,47). Human muscle samples were obtained from eight children (operated for clubfoot and less than 4 years old) without any known neuromuscular disease.…”

“…Human mpc were cultured from muscle samples as described previously, in Ham's-F12 medium containing 15% fetal calf serum (FCS) (growth medium, GM) and antibiotics (Authier et al, 1999). Human mpc seeded at 5000 cells/ cm 2 undergo proliferation and at day 4 of culture (nearly confluence), the medium was replaced with Ham's-F12 medium containing 5% FCS (differentiation medium, DM) to induce myogenic differentiation characterized by mpc fusion into myotubes (Baroffio et al, 1993). By using this procedure, mpc undergo standardized myogenic differentiation, including proliferation phase up to day 4, and then withdrawal of cell cycle to enter differentiation and formation of small myotubes (day 7), and growth of preformed myotubes through accretion of additional mpc (day 14).…”
