Recent studies have shown that cells from bone marrow (BM) can give rise to differentiated skeletal muscle fibers. However, the mechanisms and identities of the cell types involved remain unknown. We performed BM transplantation in acid -glucosidase (GAA) knockout mice, a model of glycogen storage disease type II, and our observations suggested that the BM cells contribute to skeletal muscle fiber formation. Furthermore, we showed that most CD45⁺:Sca1⁺ cells have a donor character in regenerating muscle of recipient mice. Based on these findings, CD45⁺:Sca1⁺ cells were sorted from regenerating muscles. The cell number was increased with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor after cardiotoxin injury, and the cells were transplanted directly into the tibialis anterior (TA) muscles of GAA knockout mice. Sections of the TA muscles stained with anti-laminin-2 antibody showed that the number of CD45⁺:Sca1⁺ cells contributing to muscle fiber formation and glycogen levels were decreased in transplanted muscles. Our results indicated that hematopoietic stem cells, such as CD45⁺:Sca1⁺ cells, are involved in skeletal muscle regeneration. (J Histochem Cytochem 56:811–817, 2008)
