Abstract:
Satellite cells, the stem cells of skeletal muscle tissue, hold a prodigious regeneration capacity. However, low satellite cell yield from autologous or donor-derived muscles precludes adoption of satellite cell transplantation for the treatment of muscle diseases including Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). To address this limitation, here we investigated whether sufficient quantity of satellite cells can be produced in allogeneic or xenogeneic animal hosts. First, we report on exclusive satellite cell production in intraspecies mouse chimeras by injection of CRISPR/Cas9-corrected DMD-induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) into blastocysts carrying an ablation system of host Pax7+ satellite cells. Additionally, injection of genetically-corrected DMD-iPSCs into rat blastocysts produced interspecies rat-mouse chimeras harboring mouse muscle stem cells that efficiently restored dystrophin expression in DMD mice. This study thus provides a proof-of-principle for the generation of therapeutically-competent stem cells between divergent species, raising the possibility of procuring human stem cells in large animals for regenerative medicine purposes.
