I explore the fundamental regulation of satellite cells (SC) in muscle; I aim to improve animal-meat production by understanding muscle growth. The known biology of SC, stem cells in muscle, and 2-way SC interactions with muscle fibers and tissues is mostly based on mouse muscle. SC activation to cycle is the first step in growth and regeneration; my explicit focus on that step is nearly unique. Since 2009, I initiated a comparative approach to study SC regulation and activation: we focused on the regulation of zebrafish muscle SC and differences from that of mouse SC, since new findings could be potent if applied to boost aquaculture fish-meat production. The proposed work aims to understand the interplay of SC activity with muscle development, function and regeneration and will advance Canadian innovation capacity in promoting high-quality meat growth in animals. My discoveries on chemical, mechanical and protein signals regulating SCs led to studies of muscle growth and muscle-nerve interaction in development and repair; the area is critical to feeding the global population and yet lacks fundamental evidence on SC behaviour. Knowing how outcomes of SC activation are regulated in differential adaptation across species could foster future work by others to design new ways to promote muscle function. My discoveries that SC activation is mediated by nitric oxide and stretch via hepatocyte growth factor, and new collaborative research that implicates SC production of the neuro-repellant protein, Semaphorin3A, in an active, direct regulation of regeneration, underpin the rationale of the proposed research. Objectives 1 and 2 address the impact of ectothermy on SC regulation in developing fish species with particular growth modifications: lamprey species have distinct (parasitic or free-living) life-history; ancient sturgeon reach huge size; and zebrafish are available as transgenic strains to test future hypotheses. Local experts are a potent resource to me and HQP as we work to design experiments to discover evolutionarily conserved signals that could ultimately be translated to promote muscle growth and understand functional adaptation. Objective 3 extends our exciting discovery that activated SCs make the axon-guidance protein, Semaphorin3A, likely contributing to the functional outcome of new muscle fibers in repair. The novel idea that SCs actively direct other cells in regenerating muscle is unique as most studies see SCs as passive signal receivers; SC signals per se, may shape the capacity for muscle growth and repair. My lab is unique in using isolated fibers to study SC activation at the cell level and across species. Basic discoveries from the proposed work will potentially translate knowledge of muscle growth into applications to augment industrial meat production and promote functional regeneration of muscle.

我探索肌肉中卫星细胞（SC）的基本调控;我的目标是通过了解肌肉生长来改善动物肉类生产。SC、肌肉中的干细胞以及SC与肌纤维和组织的双向相互作用的已知生物学主要基于小鼠肌肉。SC激活循环是生长和再生的第一步;我对这一步的明确关注几乎是独一无二的。自2009年以来，我开始了一种比较方法来研究SC的调节和激活：我们专注于斑马鱼肌肉SC的调节以及与小鼠SC的差异，因为如果应用于提高水产养殖鱼肉产量，新的发现可能是有效的。拟议的工作旨在了解SC活动与肌肉发育、功能和再生的相互作用，并将提高加拿大在促进动物高质量肉类生长方面的创新能力。 我对调节SC的化学，机械和蛋白质信号的发现导致了对肌肉生长和肌肉-神经相互作用在发育和修复中的研究;该领域对养活全球人口至关重要，但缺乏SC行为的基本证据。了解SC激活的结果如何在不同物种的差异适应中受到调节，可以促进其他人未来的工作，以设计促进肌肉功能的新方法。我的发现，SC激活是由一氧化氮介导的，并通过肝细胞生长因子拉伸，以及新的合作研究，涉及SC生产的神经排斥蛋白，Semaphorin 3A，在一个积极的，直接的再生调节，支持拟议的研究的基本原理。 目标1和2解决的影响外温SC调节在发展中的鱼类与特定的生长修饰：七鳃鳗物种有不同的（寄生或自由生活）的生活史;古代鲟鱼达到巨大的尺寸和斑马鱼可作为转基因菌株来测试未来的假设。当地专家是我和HQP的一个有力资源，因为我们致力于设计实验，以发现进化上保守的信号，这些信号最终可以被转化为促进肌肉生长和理解功能适应。 目的3扩展了我们令人兴奋的发现，即激活的SC使轴突导向蛋白Semaphorin 3A可能有助于修复中的新肌纤维的功能结果。SC在再生肌肉中主动引导其他细胞的新想法是独特的，因为大多数研究将SC视为被动信号接收器; SC信号本身可能塑造肌肉生长和修复的能力。 我的实验室在使用分离的纤维来研究细胞水平和跨物种的SC激活方面是独一无二的。这项工作的基本发现将有可能将肌肉生长的知识转化为应用，以增加工业肉类生产和促进肌肉的功能性再生。
