Abstract
Muscle stem cells or satellite cells are required for skeletal muscle regeneration. It has been shown that the satellite cell microenvironment, including neighboring cells such as endothelial cells, macrophages or fibroblasts are essential for complete and efficient regeneration. A deficient behavior of these cells compromises regeneration. Therefore, there is a strong interest in understanding the cellular and molecular interactions at work between these cell types during muscle regeneration. Fluorescence-activated cell sorting allows to isolate these four cell types at different time points of regeneration, for further high throughput or behavioral experiments. We present here a method for the concomitant isolation of 4 cell types present in the regenerating skeletal muscle: muscle stem cells, endothelial cells, fibro-adipogenic precursor cells and macrophages.
