Abstrakt: Skeletal muscles undergo robust regeneration upon injury, and infiltrating immune cells play a major role in not only clearing damaged tissues but also regulating the myogenic process through secreted cytokines. Chemokine C-C motif ligand 8 (Ccl8), along with Ccl2 and Ccl7, has been reported to mediate inflammatory responses to suppress muscle regeneration. Ccl8 is also expressed by muscle cells, but a role of the muscle cell-derived Ccl8 in myogenesis has not been reported. In this study, we found that knockdown of Ccl8, but not Ccl2 or Ccl7, led to increased differentiation of C2C12 myoblasts. Analysis of existing single-cell transcriptomic datasets revealed that both immune cells and muscle stem cells (MuSCs) in regenerating muscles express Ccl8, with the expression by MuSCs at a much lower level, and that the temporal patterns of Ccl8 expression were different in MuSCs and macrophages. To probe a function of muscle cell-derived Ccl8 in vivo, we utilized a mouse system in which Cas9 was expressed in Pax7+ myogenic progenitor cells (MPCs) and Ccl8 gene editing was induced by AAV9-delivered sgRNA. Depletion of Ccl8 in Pax7+ MPCs resulted in accelerated muscle regeneration after barium chloride-induced injury in both young and middle-aged mice, and intramuscular administration of a recombinant Ccl8 reversed the phenotype. Accelerated regeneration was also observed when Ccl8 was depleted in Myf5+ or MyoD+ MPCs by similar approaches. Our results suggest that muscle cell-derived Ccl8 plays a unique role in regulating the initiation of myogenic differentiation during injury-induced muscle regeneration.
