Lineage-tracing experiments using the Cre recombinase/Lox P system were performed in two mouse strains with the fluorescent protein Zs Green specifically expressed in either SCs or FAPs in skeletal muscles under the control of the Pax7 or Prrx1 gene promoter, respectively. These experiments demonstrate that following muscle injury, SCI causes the upregulation of PDGFRα expression on FAPs but not SCs and the failure of SCs to regenerate myofibers in the injured muscle, with reduced apoptosis and continued proliferation of muscle resident FAPs enabling their osteogenic differentiation into NHOs. No cells expressing Zs Green under the Prrx1 promoter were detected in the blood after injury, suggesting that the cells of origin of NHOs are locally derived from the injured muscle. We validated these findings using human NHO biopsies. PDGFRα+mesenchymal cells isolated from the muscle surrounding NHO biopsies could develop ectopic human bones when transplanted into immunocompromised mice, whereas CD56+myogenic cells had a much lower potential. Therefore, NHO is a pathology of the injured muscle in which SCI reprograms FAPs to undergo uncontrolled proliferation and differentiation into osteoblasts. | Hsu-Wen Tseng Dorothée Girard Kylie A.Alexander Susan M.Millard Frédéric Torossian Adrienne Anginot Whitney Fleming Jules Gueguen Marie-Emmanuelle Goriot Denis Clay Beulah Jose Bianca Nowlan Allison R.Pettit Marjorie Salga François Genêt Marie-Caroline Le Bousse-Kerdilès Sébastien Banzet Jean-Pierre Lévesque | 2022 | Bone Research2022，10，2： | 0 |
