Abstract (original English)

Obesity resulting from chronic overnutrition and physical inactivity promotes the development of metabolic disorders by disrupting physiological processes in metabolically active organs, including skeletal muscles. To investigate whether skeletal muscle stem cells (satellite cells, SCs) are affected by systemic metabolic stress, we established primary SC cultures from male mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD) for 8 wk, and from control mice fed a standard chow (CTL). This model allowed us to assess diet-induced obesity (DIO)-related changes in SC-specific molecular and cellular signatures. Although body weight, body fat composition, and adipose tissue-associated macrophages differed significantly between DIO and CTL ex vivo, we observed no differences in the in vitro behaviour of primary SC-derived myoblasts from either group. Parameters such as proliferation and differentiation following serum deprivation were comparable. Expression levels and distribution patterns of myogenic regulatory factors (MRF), SC-specific markers (Pax7, CD56, Itga7), and hallmarks for senescence (GLB1), autophagy (p62, LC3B), and oxidative stress (ALDH1A1, ALDH1A3) remained unchanged. Thus, potential differences in the signatures of SC-derived myoblasts after 8 wk of a high-fat diet cannot be depicted in vitro. However, future experiments should address whether prolonged and metabolically more susceptible d
