Small RNA-seq of quiescent, activated of differentiated mouse skeletal muscle stem cells
The requirement for microRNAs in muscle homeostasis, and more precisely in quiescence/self-renewal, activation & differentiation, has been demonstrated through knock-out experiments.  In this experiment, we unbiasedly probed the expression of small RNA molecules (ranging from 18-36 nt in size), during the quiescence/activation transition but also differentiation by mean of small-RNA sequencing.  Quiescent cells were directly FACS-purified from resting muscle of tg:Pax7-nGFP adult mice (n=2 replicates), and a fraction of these sorted cells were cultured in vitro to obtain activated MuSC at 60h, or differentiated cells at 7 days.  This dataset constitutes a key resource for further analyses of miRNAs involvement in the muscle paradigm, and more largely in the regulation of stem cells self-renewal and tissue homeostasis.
