This dataset supports a project investigating the role of the CD146+ cell population in skeletal muscle development and regeneration, as well as the impact of exogenous CD146+ cell engraftment on vascularization, fibrosis, and adipose tissue deposition in dystrophic skeletal muscle of mdx mice.
CD146+ pericytes were isolated from hindlimb skeletal muscles of GFP-expressing mice and enriched using magnetic-activated cell sorting (MACS) based on CD146 surface expression. The cells were injected into skeletal muscles of mdx mice subjected to either BaCl₂-induced injury or treadmill-induced damage. The role of CD146⁺ cells during skeletal muscle development and regeneration was evaluated using histological staining and immunohistochemistry on tissue cryosections. RNA was extracted from either WT or mdx mouse skeletal muscles during regeneration, and qPCR was performed to monitor changes in gene expression levels.
The impact of CD146+ cell engraftment was evaluated by quantifying fibers with centrally located nuclei (an indicator of regeneration), measuring muscle fiber cross-sectional area, and performing histological staining, immunohistochemistry, and qPCR analyses.
