Figure Lengend Snippet: a Timeline for TRPV2-deficiency induction, cell isolation, and staining. b Representative images of proliferating satellite cells derived from myofibres isolated from the EDL muscle of floxed and TRPV2 cKO mice after 4 days in culture. c Representative EdU incorporation assay (green) in MuSCs located c on myofibres and d around myofibres. TRPV2 (red) and DAPI (blue) staining were performed simultaneously. d Representative immunofluorescence staining of EdU (green), TRPV2 (red), and DAPI (blue) in MuSCs derived from myofibres isolated from the EDL muscle of floxed and TRPV2 cKO mice after 4 days in culture. e Ratio of EdU + cells. f Representative immunofluorescence staining of TRPV2 (green), Ki67 (red), and DAPI (blue) in MuSCs derived from myofibres isolated from the EDL muscle of floxed and TRPV2 cKO mice after 4 days in culture. g Ratio of Ki67 + cells. h Representative immunofluorescence staining of TRPV2 (green), MyoD (red), and DAPI (blue) in MuSCs derived from myofibres isolated from the EDL muscle of floxed and TRPV2-Pax7 -cKO mice after 4 days in culture. i Quantification of TRPV2 + cells per fibre. j Ratio of MyoD + cells among TRPV2 + cells. k Representative immunoblot showing PI3K, Akt, and phosphorylated Akt (P-Akt) expression in cultured MuSCs from floxed and cKO mice, with or without tamoxifen treatment. Data are presented as mean ± s.e.m. * P < 0.05 between the indicated groups (Student’s t -test for e , g , i , j ). # P < 0.05 (Tukey–Kramer test for k ). Scale bar, 100 µm.
