Embodiment 1
[0297] Example 1: Selection of compounds that modulate muscle stem cells
[0298] Selection of human skeletal muscle myoblasts
[0299] The inventors developed a high content screen to test compounds on primary human adult muscle cells in vitro. Human skeletal muscle myoblasts (HSMM) were purchased from Lonza ( https: / / bioscience.lonza.com ). These cells were isolated from normal donor upper arm or leg muscle tissue and used after a second passage. Several donors were tested to ensure cell viability and purity before selecting the final donors who were a 36-year-old Caucasian female (Donor 8) and a 20-year-old Caucasian female (Donor 4).
[0300] Muscle Stem Cell Commitment Assay
[0301] The primary screening assay was based on the detection of high levels of two important myogenic regulators (Pax7 and MyoD) by immunofluorescence. Pax7 and MyoD are major markers of stemness and commitment of muscle stem cells and can be used to monitor muscle stem ce...

[0304] Example 2: In Vivo Muscle Regeneration Using Thistaxanthin or Turmericol
[0305] To recapitulate the physiological process of muscle regeneration in adult skeletal muscle in response to injury or disease, we injected cardiotoxin intramuscularly into mouse hindlimb muscles. One week before the induction of muscle damage, the mice were given gavage compound of the present invention; 100 mg / kg body weight of thisraxanthin or turmericol and water were used as controls. Mice were handled once a day until the end of the experiment. To assess the efficiency of muscle regeneration, previously injured muscles were harvested 5 days after injury and cryosections were prepared. Several myogenic markers are then measured. Cryosections were stained with specific antibodies against Pax7, myogenin, laminin, and embryonic myosin heavy chain (eMHC) expression and counterstained with Hoechst33342 to visualize nuclei.
[0306] Figure 5 demonstrates that thisxanthin and turmericol are...
