Adult myogenic progenitor cells (activated satellite cells) express both HGF and its receptor cMet. Following muscle injury, autocrine HGF-Met stimulation plays a key role in promoting activation and early division of satellite cells. Magic-F1 (Met-Activating Genetically Improved Chimeric Factor-1) is an HGF-derived, engineered protein that contains two Met-binding domains that promotes muscle hypertrophy, protecting myogenic precursors against apoptosis, increasing their fusion ability and enhancing muscle differentiation. Hemizygous and homozygous Magic-F1 transgenic mice displayed constitutive muscle hypertrophy. We described here microarray analysis on Magic-F1 myogenic progenitor cells showing an altered gene signatures involving muscle hypertrophy and vasculogenesis compared to wild-type cells. In parallel, we performed a functional analysis on homozygous Magic-F1 transgenic mice versus control, demonstrating that Magic-F1+/+ mice display impairment on running performance. Finally, we show that induced muscle hypertrophy affects positively vascular network, increasing vessel number in fast twitch fibers. This is due to unique features of mammalian skeletal muscle and its remarkable ability to adapt promptly to different physiological demands by changing gene expression profile. Biological triplicates of Magic-F1+/+ and control satellite cells were used for microarray analysis.
