We show that muscle satellite cells, traditionally considered as committed myogenic precursors, are comprised of Pax7-expressing progenitors that preserve a mesenchymal repertoire extending beyond a mere myogenic potential. Mouse satellite cells from freshly isolated single myofibers, cultured individually in serum-rich growth medium, produced myogenic and non-myogenic clones. Only the myogenic clones expressed muscle-specific transcription factors and formed myotubes. Pax7 was initially expressed in all clones, but subsequently was associated only with the myogenic clones. Some cells in the non-myogenic clones expressed 
-smooth muscle actin and nestin whereas others differentiated into mature adipocytes. This type of cell composition mirrors characteristics of mesenchymal stem cell progeny. Overall, individual myofibers persistently gave rise to both clonal phenotypes, but the ratio of myogenic to non-myogenic clones randomly varied among fibers. This randomness indicates that clonal dichotomy reflects satellite cell suppleness rather than pre-fated cell heterogeneity. We conclude that satellite cells possess mesenchymal plasticity, being able to commit either to myogenesis or to a mesenchymal alternative differentiation (MAD) program.
Key words: Skeletal muscle satellite cells, Mesenchymal stem cells, Myoblasts, Adipocytes, Pax7 protein
