Core Tip
Core Tip: For successful muscle regeneration, macrophage polarization and myogenesis should be supported by an appropriate combination of cells and their signals. As the communication between myoblasts and macrophages within the inflammatory environment is unknown, we aimed to evaluate the effects of IF-C2C12-Exos on macrophage polarization and myoblast proliferation/differentiation. We found that IF-C2C12-Exos could induce M1 polarization, resulting in a sustained and exacerbated inflammatory environment, impaired myoblast fibrogenic/myogenic differentiation, and led to abnormal myogenic proliferation. These results indicate a potential mechanism for the development of long-term inflammation following acute muscle injury, but further preclinical evaluations targeting IF-C2C12-Exos in animal models are necessary.
