Abstract |
Skeletal muscle stem cells (MuSCs) derived from the somatic mesoderm play a critical role in successful muscle regeneration following injury and trauma. MuSCs have been found to undergo rapid changes in metabolism following a change in cell state, such as that which occurs during the transition from quiescence to an actively proliferating state. There is mounting evidence that metabolism is critically important in the regulation of quiescence, activation, and differentiation and thus the development of new techniques that aim to further probe the metabolism of MuSCs is essential. The Seahorse XF Bioanalyzer is a powerful tool that simultaneously measures the extracellular rate of change in oxygen partial pressure and pH, providing a method to measure mitochondrial respiration and lactate production. In this chapter, we describe the use of key metabolic inhibitors that allow for the investigation of mitochondrial substrate utilization in primary MuSCs. |
