Abstract
Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are a family of structurally related peptides that regulate processes such as cell proliferation, differentiation, and damage repair. In our previous study, fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 (fgfr4) was detected in the most significant quantitative trait loci (QTL), when identified of QTLs and genetic markers for growth-related traits in spotted sea bass. However, knowledge of the function of fgfr4 is lacking, even the legends to activate the receptor is unknown in fish. To remedy this problem, in the present study, a total of 33 fgfs were identified from the genomic and transcriptomic databases of spotted sea bass, of which 10 were expressed in the myoblasts. According to the expression pattern during myoblasts proliferation and differentiation, fgf6a, fgf6b and fgf18 were selected for further prokaryotic expression and purification. The recombinant proteins FGF6a, FGF6b and FGF18 were found to inhibit myoblast differentiation. Overall, our results provide a theoretical basis for the molecular mechanisms of growth regulation in economic fish such as spotted sea bass.

Abstract
The present study was conducted to investigate the regulative function of FGF6 in the muscle growth of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus) by the bioinformatics analysis and expression pattern analyses of FGF6 genes in different developmental stages and tissues, as well as the correlation analysis between muscle growth and FGF6 expression after fish were fed with different levels of dietary lotus leaf flavonoids (LLF) (0, 0.03%, 0.06%, 0.09%). Results showed that the FGF6a and FGF6b genes are two homologs of the FGF6 family, encoding 205 and 209 amino acids, respectively. Alignment of amino acid sequences and phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that FGF6a and FGF6b are highly conserved with other vertebrates. Quantitative RT-PCR analysis showed both FGF6a and FGF6b expressions were high in brain and muscle but low in other examined tissues. During embryonic development, FGF6a and FGF6b mRNA expressions could be detected as early as at fertilized egg stage and displayed the highest value at cleavage stage. Dietary LLF affected the gene expression of FGF6 in white muscle. The relative expression of FGF6a of 0.06% LLF group was significantly higher than that of 0.09% LLF group, while FGF6b expression of 0.06% LLF group was higher than those of other groups (P < 0.05). The muscle fiber diameter was significantly higher in 0.06% LLF group in comparison with other groups, while the fiber density in this group was lower (P < 0.05). Both FGF6a and FGF6b expressions were positively correlated with fiber diameter but negatively correlated with fiber density. These results collectively suggest that FGF6a and FGF6b play an important role in muscle growth regulation in grass carp.

Abstract
Understanding how nerves spontaneously innervate tissues or regenerate small injuries is critical to enhance material-based interventions to regenerate large scale, traumatic injuries. During embryogenesis, neural and vascular tissues form interconnected, complex networks as a result of signaling between these tissue types. Here, we report that human endothelial cells (HUVECs) secrete brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which significantly stimulated axonal growth from chicken or rat dorsal root ganglia (DRGs). HUVEC-conditioned medium was sufficient to enhance axonal growth, demonstrating that direct cell-cell contact was not required. When BDNF was neutralized, there was a significant reduction in axonal growth when incubated in HUVEC-conditioned medium and in direct co-culture with HUVECs. These data show that HUVECs secrete neurotrophic factors that significantly enhance axonal growth, and can inform future in vivo studies to direct or pattern the angiogenic response in regenerating tissues to encourage re-innervation.

Abstract
The tongue is a muscular organ and plays a crucial role in speech, deglutition and taste. Despite the important physiological functions of the tongue, little is known about the regulatory mechanisms of tongue muscle development. TGFβ family members play important roles in regulating myogenesis, but the functional significance of Smad-dependent TGFβ signaling in regulating tongue skeletal muscle development remains unclear. In this study, we have investigated Smad4-mediated TGFβ signaling in the development of occipital somite-derived myogenic progenitors during tongue morphogenesis through tissue-specific inactivation of Smad4 (using Myf5-Cre;Smad4(flox/flox) mice). During the initiation of tongue development, cranial neural crest (CNC) cells occupy the tongue buds before myogenic progenitors migrate into the tongue primordium, suggesting that CNC cells play an instructive role in guiding tongue muscle development. Moreover, ablation of Smad4 results in defects in myogenic terminal differentiation and myoblast fusion. Despite compromised muscle differentiation, tendon formation appears unaffected in the tongue of Myf5-Cre;Smad4(flox/flox) mice, suggesting that the differentiation and maintenance of CNC-derived tendon cells are independent of Smad4-mediated signaling in myogenic cells in the tongue. Furthermore, loss of Smad4 results in a significant reduction in expression of several members of the FGF family, including Fgf6 and Fgfr4. Exogenous Fgf6 partially rescues the tongue myoblast fusion defect of Myf5-Cre;Smad4(flox/flox) mice. Taken together, our study demonstrates that a TGFβ-Smad4-Fgf6 signaling cascade plays a crucial role in myogenic cell fate determination and lineage progression during tongue myogenesis.

Abstract
Abcg2-expressing cells proliferate after muscle injury and are required for effective regeneration of multiple muscle cell lineages. Skeletal muscle contains progenitor cells (satellite cells) that maintain and repair muscle. It also contains muscle side population (SP) cells, which express Abcg2 and may participate in muscle regeneration or may represent a source of satellite cell replenishment. In Abcg2-null mice, the SP fraction is lost in skeletal muscle, although the significance of this loss was previously unknown. We show that cells expressing Abcg2 increased upon injury and that muscle regeneration was impaired in Abcg2-null mice, resulting in fewer centrally nucleated myofibers, reduced myofiber size, and fewer satellite cells. Additionally, using genetic lineage tracing, we demonstrate that the progeny of Abcg2-expressing cells contributed to multiple cell types within the muscle interstitium, primarily endothelial cells. After injury, Abcg2 progeny made a minor contribution to regenerated myofibers. Furthermore, Abcg2-labeled cells increased significantly upon injury and appeared to traffic to muscle from peripheral blood. Together, these data suggest an important role for Abcg2 in positively regulating skeletal muscle regeneration.

Abstract
The objective of this report was to analyse a potential role for FGF6 in muscle resistance to mechanical stress. Normal or regenerating muscles of FGF6 (-/-) mice versus wild-type mice were submitted to different protocols of damaging eccentric contractions (eccentric electrostimulation and intermittent downhill exercise). Then muscular structural properties were analysed by histological and immunochemistry techniques to evaluate the post-injury muscle recovery; their muscle contractile parameters (maximal tetanic force, kinetics properties and fatigue resistance) were assessed. The absence of FGF6 causes (1) a fast-to-slow myofibre type switch in adult control and regenerating Tibialis anterior (TA) muscle; (2) muscle weakness in regenerating muscles in animals submitted to eccentric exercise protocols due to aberrant extensive necrotic zones. These observations point out a crucial and unexpected role for FGF6 in muscle integrity and muscle protection against mechanical stress.

Abstract
MyoD is a myogenic master transcription factor that plays an essential role in muscle satellite cell (muscle stem cell) differentiation. To further investigate the function of MyoD in satellite cells, we examined the transplantation of satellite cell-derived myoblasts lacking the MyoD gene into regenerating skeletal muscle. After injection into injured muscle, MyoD(-/-) myoblasts engrafted with significantly higher efficiency compared with wild-type myoblasts. In addition, MyoD(-/-) myoblast-derived satellite cells were detected underneath the basal lamina of muscle fibers, indicating the self-renewal property of MyoD(-/-) myoblasts. To gain insights into MyoD gene deficiency in muscle stem cells, we investigated the pathways regulated by MyoD by GeneChip microarray analysis of gene expression in wild-type and MyoD(-/-) myoblasts. MyoD deficiency led to down-regulation of many muscle-specific genes and up-regulation of some stem cell markers. Importantly, in MyoD(-/-) myoblasts, many antiapoptotic genes were up-regulated, whereas genes known to execute apoptosis were down-regulated. Consistent with these gene expression profiles, MyoD(-/-) myoblasts were revealed to possess remarkable resistance to apoptosis and increased survival compared with wild-type myoblasts. Forced expression of MyoD or the proapoptotic protein Puma increased cell death in MyoD(-/-) myoblasts. Therefore, MyoD(-/-) myoblasts may preserve stem cell characteristics, including their resistance to apoptosis, expression of stem cell markers, and efficient engraftment and contribution to satellite cells after transplantation. Furthermore, our data offer evidence for improved therapeutic stem cell transplantation for muscular dystrophy, in which suppression of MyoD in myogenic progenitors would be beneficial to therapy by providing a selective advantage for the expansion of stem cells.

Abstract
The mouse mdr1a and mdr1b genes are expressed in skeletal muscle, though their precise role in muscle is unknown. Dystrophic muscle is characterized by repeated cycles of degeneration and regeneration. To explore the role of the mdr1 genes during muscle regeneration, we have created a triple knockout mouse lacking the mdr1a, mdr1b, and the dystrophin genes. The resulting ReX mice developed normally and were fertile. However, as adults, ReX had a higher proportion of degenerating muscle fibers and greater long-term loss of muscle mass than mdx. ReX muscles were also characterized by a reduced proportion of muscle side population (mSP) cells, of myogenic cells, and a reduced capacity for muscle regeneration. We found too that mSP cells derived from dystrophic muscle are more myogenic than those from normal muscle. Thus, in dystrophic muscle, the mdr1 gene plays an important role in the preservation of the mSP and of the myogenic regenerative potential. Moreover, our results suggest a hitherto unappreciated role of mdr1 in precursor cells of regenerating tissue; they therefore provide an important clue to the physiological significance of mdr1 expression in stem cells.

Abstract
Satellite cells are the main source of myogenic progenitors in postnatal skeletal muscle, but their use in cell therapy for muscle disorders is limited because these cells cannot be delivered through circulation and they are rapidly exhausted in severe myopathies. The search for alternative donor cells is ongoing, but none of the candidates so far show all the features required for successful colonization and repair of diseased muscle. In this study, we show that bisperoxovanadium, a phospho-tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor, induces myogenic cells to acquire a gene expression profile and a differentiation potential consistent with the phenotype of a circulating precursors, while maintaining their myogenic potential. These effects are mediated, at least in part, by NF-kappaB activation through the Tyr42-IkappaB-alpha phosphorylation, as shown by the expression of the dominant negative mutant form of the p50 NF-kappaB subunit. Moreover, when bisperoxovanadium-treated cells are injected into the femoral artery of alpha-sarcoglican null dystrophic mice, they are able to circulate and to reach muscle tissue; importantly, they contribute to muscle regeneration, as shown by the expression of alpha-sarcoglican in some fibers. Our observations indicate that bisperoxovanadium, or similar compounds, may prove very valuable to obtain and to expand, from committed cells, multipotent cell populations suitable for gene-cell therapy applications and may help to understand the molecular basis of genome reprogramming and "stem-ness."

Abstract
Important functions in myogenesis have been proposed for FGF6, a member of the fibroblast growth factor family accumulating almost exclusively in the myogenic lineage. However, the analyses of Fgf6 (-/-) mutant mice gave contradictory results and the role of FGF6 during myogenesis remained largely unclear. Recent reports support the concept that FGF6 has a dual function in muscle regeneration, stimulating myoblast proliferation/migration and muscle differentiation/hypertrophy in a dose-dependent manner. The alternative use of distinct signaling pathways recruiting either FGFR1 or FGFR4 might explain the dual role of FGF6 in myogenesis. A role for FGF6 in the maintenance of a reserve pool of progenitor cells in the skeletal muscle has been also strongly suggested. The aim of this review is to summarize our knowledge on the involvement of FGF6 in myogenesis.

Abstract
Periodontal ligament (PDL) is capable of regenerating several types of periodontal tissues. However, the stem cells in PDL have been less well characterized. Recently, it has been represented that stem cells have a potent ability to exclude Hoechst dye, and cells possessing this phenotype are termed "side population (SP)." In addition, it is suggested that the SP cells are ubiquitously present in adult tissues, therefore, we investigated the presence of SP cells in PDL. Hoechst dye efflux assay showed that PDL cells include 3.9% SP cells. This SP profile disappeared in the presence of verapamil or reserpine. Only ABCG2-expressing cells were detected in PDL cells by flow cytometric analysis. Furthermore, RT-PCR demonstrated that ABCG2 mRNA expression remarkably correlated with PDL SP phenotype. Our findings demonstrate that PDL contains ABCG2-dependent SP cells. Hence, it is possible that this population could contribute to periodontal tissue regeneration as PDL stem cells.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Satellite cells are required for muscle regeneration to occur properly. An understanding of the mechanisms that increase their number is important for potential therapeutic use in a variety of muscle disorders. RECENT FINDINGS This article reviews the state of knowledge regarding mechanisms and factors involved in regulating the satellite cell population. An overview of the soluble factors intrinsic to the regulation of the activation, proliferation and differentiation of satellite cells is presented. We also highlight our current knowledge of satellite cell specification that provides a potential basis for increasing satellite cell numbers by manipulating different cell types. Finally, summarizing our current knowledge of satellite cell self-renewal offers insight for possible avenues to increase the supply of satellite cells. SUMMARY Multiple approaches for increasing the number and activity of satellite cells will lead to treatments for muscular diseases. For example, in muscular dystrophy the exhaustion of satellite cells is the principal cause of death.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The aim of this review is to highlight advances in the field of skeletal muscle regeneration that have been made in the last year. RECENT FINDINGS Studies have increased our understanding of the activation of satellite cells within their niche on the muscle fibre, the contribution of satellite cell-derived muscle precursor cells to skeletal muscle regeneration and the reduction of satellite cell function in old muscle. Although other stem cells, either bone marrow derived or present within skeletal muscle or other tissues, do contribute to muscle regeneration, recent studies have highlighted that this is at best minimal compared with the ability of satellite cells to regenerate skeletal muscle. The effect of the host muscle environment has been shown to have a profound effect on skeletal muscle regeneration. Age and denervation have a detrimental effect and certain types of muscle injury a positive effect. Work continues on the effect of growth factors on muscle cell lines in vitro and muscle regeneration in vivo. SUMMARY Recent work has focused on the contribution of satellite-cell derived muscle precursor cells and other stem cells to skeletal muscle regeneration. The muscle environment has a profound effect on the regenerative capacity of resident and implanted cells. Muscle regeneration may be optimized by using the best stem cell population and by modifying the host muscle environment.

Abstract
During muscle differentiation, a population of quiescent undifferentiated myoblasts (reserve cells) emerges among mature muscle cells. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying such cell segregation and the characterization of this subpopulation of myoblasts remain to be determined. Notch is known to control the behavior and fate of murine muscle stem cells. In this study, we examined the role of Notch in myoblast segregation. We showed that inhibition of Notch activity by either overexpressing Numb or by using a pharmacological gamma-secretase inhibitor (DAPT) enhanced differentiation of murine and human myoblasts. This effect was not restricted to in vitro culture systems since DAPT-treated zebrafish embryos also showed increased differentiation. Using C2.7 myoblasts as a model, we showed that inhibition of Notch induced myotube hypertrophy by recruiting reserve cells that do not normally fuse. We further showed that endogenous Notch-signaling components were differentially expressed and activated in reserve cells with respect to Notch 1 and CD34 expression. We identified CD34 negative reserve cells as the subpopulation of myoblasts recruited to fuse into myotubes during differentiation in response to Notch inhibition. Therefore, we showed here that the activation of Notch 1 is important to maintain a subpopulation of CD34 negative reserve cells in an undifferentiated state.

Abstract
With the use of Hoechst staining techniques, we have previously shown that the C2C12 myogenic cell line contains a side population (SP) that is largely increased in the presence of fibroblast growth factor 6 (FGF6). Here, we compared transcriptional profiles from SP and main population (MP) cells from either C2C12 or FGF6-expressing C2C12. Expression profiles of SPs show that these cells are less differentiated than MPs and display some similarities to stem cells. Moreover, principal component analysis made it possible to distinguish specific contributions of either FGF6 or differentiation effects on gene expression profiles. This demonstrated that FGF6-expanded SPs were similar to parental C2C12-derived SPs. Conversely, FGF6-treated MPs differed from parental MPs and were more related to SP cells. These results show that FGF6 pushed committed myogenic cells toward a more immature phenotype resulting in the accumulation of cells with a SP phenotype. We propose that FGF6 conditioning could provide a way to expand the pool of immature cells by myoblast dedifferentiation.

Abstract
Cellular multi-drug resistance (MDR), which often develops in cancer cells of patients subjected to anti-cancer treatment, remains a significant barrier to successful cancer therapy. One of the principal causes of cellular MDR development is an increased expression of ABC-transporter genes such as mdr1 and Bcrp1/Abcg2. Despite many years of intensive research, the natural biological role of mdr1 in the context of cancer has remained elusive. Some hints about this role came, however, from an observation that P-gp, the mdr1 encoded protein, is expressed widely in stem cells and from the discovery that P-gp possesses an anti-apoptotic activity independently of exogenous drug application. Here, we discuss our own and other groups' recently published works and propose an integrated view of mdr1 and Bcrp1/Abcg2 activity during tissue regeneration in normal tissues as part of a stress-induced regeneration genetic program and in cancerous tissues in response to cancer therapy.
