They produce myelin, provide axonal metabolic support, and contribute to reparatory processes after nerve injury. During aging, peripheral nerves acquire myelin structural anomalies and are characterized by a lower fraction of SC and a higher fraction of senescent cells. All these changes correlate with impaired electrical conduction and consequently altered function of target tissues including skeletal muscle weakness and cardiac arrhythmia. To characterize and compare cardiac and sciatic nerve SC, as well as to explore age-related differences in SC abundance and their properties, we analyzed two TdTomato reporter mouse strains to isolate <em>Sox10</em> or <em>Plp1</em> expressing SC. We performed RNA-sequencing on sorted TdTomato-positive cells from the heart and sciatic nerve and validated transcriptomic findings at the protein level using immunofluorescence. Our data reveal a pro-angiogenic profile in cardiac SC when compared to sciatic SC. In addition, higher levels of neural-death associated genes and lower gene and protein expression levels of the fatty acid co-transporter <em>Fabp4</em>/FABP4 are detected in cardiac SC from old compared to young mice, suggesting an aging-related impairment of fatty acid transport. Finally, sciatic SC activate collagen remodeling and increased pro-inflammatory signaling including TNFα. Thus, cardiac and musculoskeletal SC have different expression profiles, and undergo different changes during aging, which may contribute to impaired nerve function in both organ systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16402,"journal":{"name":"Journal of molecular and cellular cardiology","volume":"209 ","pages":"Pages 51-65"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145232688","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While flow cytometry offers the possibility of an accurate and direct single-cell quantification, the unique structural and physical properties of CMs complicate the analysis. There are no standardized methods reported for the flow cytometry analysis of adult CMs, which is a significant pitfall in the field.

We demonstrate the versatility of this method through three biologically relevant applications. First, we introduce a model to quantify CMs nucleation based on DNA content distribution. Second, we assess cell-specific <em>in vivo</em> gene delivery with AAV-Luc in pig hearts.
