Abstract
Skeletal muscles exert remarkable regenerative or adaptive capacities in response to injuries or mechanical loads. However, the cellular networks underlying muscle adaptation are poorly understood compared to those underlying muscle regeneration. We employed single-cell RNA sequencing to investigate the gene expression patterns and cellular networks activated in overloaded muscles and compared these results with those observed in regenerating muscles. The cellular composition of the 4-day overloaded muscle, when macrophage infiltration peaked, closely resembled that of the 10-day regenerating muscle. In addition to the mesenchymal progenitor-muscle satellite cell (MuSC) axis, interactome analyses or targeted depletion experiments revealed communications between mesenchymal progenitors-macrophages and macrophages-MuSCs. Furthermore, granulin, a macrophage-derived factor, inhibited MuSC differentiation, and Granulin-knockout mice exhibited blunted muscle hypertrophy due to the premature differentiation of overloaded MuSCs. These findings reveal the critical role of granulin through the relayed communications of mesenchymal progenitors, macrophages, and MuSCs in facilitating efficient muscle hypertrophy.

Abstract
We recently demonstrated that mesenchymal progenitors play a critical role in regulating satellite cell-dependent myonuclear accretion during overload-induced muscle hypertrophy. Here, we describe the detailed protocol for whole-mount immunofluorescence staining of mesenchymal progenitors in mouse plantaris muscle. Z-stack image reconstruction provides a whole-cell image and enables examination of YAP nuclear translocation in mesenchymal progenitors induced by overload. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Kaneshige et al. (2022a).

Publisher’s note: Undertaking any experimental protocol requires adherence to local institutional guidelines for laboratory safety and ethics.
