Abstract
Human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived myogenic progenitor cell (MPC) transplantation is a promising therapeutic approach for a variety of degenerative muscle disorders. Here, using an MPC-specific fluorescent reporter system (PAX7::GFP), we demonstrate that hPSC-derived MPCs can contribute to the regeneration of myofibers in mice following local injury and in mice deficient of dystrophin (mdx). We also demonstrate that a subset of PAX7::GFP MPCs engraft within the basal lamina of regenerated myofibers, adopt a quiescent state, and contribute to regeneration upon reinjury and in mdx mouse models. This subset of PAX7::GFP MPCs undergo a maturation process and remodel their molecular characteristics to resemble those of late-stage fetal MPCs/adult satellite cells following in vivo engraftment. These in-vivo-matured PAX7::GFP MPCs retain a cell-autonomous ability to regenerate and can repopulate in the niche of secondary recipient mice, providing a proof of principle for future hPSC-based cell therapy for muscle disorders.
