Expression and Functional Analyses of Dlk1 in Muscle Stem Cells and Mesenchymal Progenitors during Muscle Regeneration
Delta like non-canonical Notch ligand 1 (Dlk1) is a paternally expressed gene which is also known as preadipocyte factor 1 (Pref−1). The accumulation of adipocytes and expression of Dlk1 in regenerating muscle suggests a correlation between fat accumulation and Dlk1 expression in the muscle. Additio...

description | Delta like non-canonical Notch ligand 1 (Dlk1) is a paternally expressed gene which is also known as preadipocyte factor 1 (Pref−1). The accumulation of adipocytes and expression of Dlk1 in regenerating muscle suggests a correlation between fat accumulation and Dlk1 expression in the muscle. Additionally, mice overexpressing Dlk1 show increased muscle weight, while Dlk1-null mice exhibit decreased body weight and muscle mass, indicating that Dlk1 is a critical factor in regulating skeletal muscle mass during development. The muscle regeneration process shares some features with muscle development. However, the role of Dlk1 in regeneration processes remains controversial. Here, we show that mesenchymal progenitors also known as adipocyte progenitors exclusively express Dlk1 during muscle regeneration. Eliminating developmental effects, we used conditional depletion models to examine the specific roles of Dlk1 in muscle stem cells or mesenchymal progenitors. Unexpectedly, deletion of Dlk1 in neither the muscle stem cells nor the mesenchymal progenitors affected the regenerative ability of skeletal muscle. In addition, fat accumulation was not increased by the loss of Dlk1. Collectively, Dlk1 plays essential roles in muscle development, but does not greatly impact regeneration processes and adipogenic differentiation in adult skeletal muscle regeneration. |
