Both skeletal muscle and bone marrow tissue contain myogenic stem cells. The population residing in muscles is heterogenic. Predominant in number are "typical" satellite cells - muscle progenitors migrating from somites during embryonic life. Another population is group of multipotent muscle stem cells which, at least in part, are derived from bone marrow. These cells are tracked by gradient of growth factors releasing from muscle during injury or exercise. Recruited bone marrow-derived cells gradually change their phenotype becoming muscle stem cells and eventually can attain satellite cell position and express Pax7 protein. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) isolated directly from bone marrow also display myogenic potential, although methods of induction of myogenic differentiation in vitro have not been optimized yet. Concerning efforts of exploiting myogenic stem cells in cell-mediated therapies it is important to understand the cause of impaired regenerative potential of aged muscle. Up to now, most of research data suggest that majority of age related changes in skeletal muscles are reversible, thus depending on extrinsic factors. However, irreversible intrinsic features of muscle stem cells are also taken into consideration.
