Abstract
The data presented in this article are related to the research articles entitled “APOBEC2 negatively regulates myoblast differentiation in muscle regeneration” and “Data supporting possible implication of APOBEC2 in self-renewal functions of myogenic stem satellite cells: toward understanding the negative regulation of myoblast differentiation” (Ohtsubo et al., 2017a, 2017b) [1,2]. This article provides in vivo phenotypical data to show that Paired Box Transcription Factor 7 (Pax7)-positive cell number (per myofiber) is significantly lower in APOBEC2 (a member of apoB mRNA editing enzyme, catalytic polypeptide-like family)-knockout muscle than the control wild-type tissue at the same age of 8-wk-old in mice. The emerging results support an essential role for APOBEC2 in the self-renewal functions of myogenic stem satellite cells, namely the re-establishment of quiescent status after activation and proliferation of myoblasts.
