The study revealed that localized muscle injuries triggered by exercise activate a myofiber self-repair mechanism that is independent of satellite cells. A signaling cascade involving calcium, Cdc42, and phosphokinase C attracts myonuclei to the damaged site, accelerating sarcomere repair and delivering messenger RNA for cellular reconstruction. Myofiber self-repair is a cell-autonomous protective mechanism, offering an alternative model for understanding muscle architecture restoration in health and disease.
Regeneration of skeletal muscle is a highly synchronized process that requires muscle stem cells (satellite cells). We found that localized injuries, as experienced through exercise, activate a myofiber self-repair mechanism that is independent of satellite cells in mice and humans. Mouse muscle injury triggers a signaling cascade involving calcium, Cdc42, and phosphokinase C that attracts myonuclei to the damaged site via microtubules and dynein. These nuclear movements accelerate sarcomere repair and locally deliver messenger RNA (mRNA) for cellular reconstruction. Myofiber self-repair is a cell-autonomous protective mechanism and represents an alternative model for understanding the restoration of muscle architecture in health and disease.
