Skeletal muscle tissue self-repair occurs through the finely timed activation of resident muscle stem cells (MuSC). Following perturbation, MuSC exit quiescence, undergo myogenic commitment, and differentiate to regenerate the injured muscle. This process is coordinated by signals present in the tissue microenvironment, however the precise mechanisms by which the microenvironment regulates MuSC activation are still poorly understood. Here, we identified Tenascin-C (TnC), an extracellular matrix (ECM) glycoprotein, as a key player in promoting of MuSC self-renewal and function. We show that fibro-adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) are the primary cellular source of TnC during muscle repair, and that MuSC sense TnC signaling through cell the surface receptor Annexin A2. We provide in vivo evidence that TnC is required for efficient muscle repair, as mice lacking TnC exhibit a regeneration phenotype of premature aging. We propose that the decline of TnC in physiological aging contributes to inefficient muscle regeneration in aged muscle. Taken together, our results highlight the pivotal role of TnC signaling during muscle repair in healthy and aging skeletal muscle.
