Abstract
The disclosure relates to a composition for detecting a biomarker to predict differentiation potential of a muscle stem cell, including an agent for measuring an mRNA expression level or protein activity level of CD56. Particularly, it is confirmed that among muscle stem cells, cells with high expression or activity levels of CD56 have excellent differentiation potential into myotubes even after continued subculture, and the differentiation potential of muscle stem cells according to the culture period can be predicted in advance, so that it can be usefully used as a tool for effectively evaluating and managing the quality of muscle stem cells.

A method for screening a muscle-derived stem cell line to be differentiated into a myotube, wherein the stem cell line maintains its differentiation potential after subcultures comprising:
- measuring an mRNA expression level or protein activity level of CD56 and CD29 from an isolated muscle-derived stem cell line;
- and
- selecting the muscle-derived stem cell line whose mRNA expression level or protein activity level of CD56 and CD29 is higher compared to a reference value,
- wherein the reference value is a minimum value of a rate of a cell expressing CD56 and CD29 among the muscle-derived stem cell line, and the minimum value of the rate of the cell expressing CD56 and CD29 among the muscle-derived stem cell line is 10% to 15%.
(canceled)
A method for evaluating differentiation maintenance potential of a muscle-derived stem cell line, comprising:
- measuring mRNA expression level or protein activity level of CD56 and CD29 from isolated first and second muscle-derived stem cell lines;
- and
- comparing the mRNA expression level or protein activity level of CD56 and CD29 of the first and second muscle-derived stem cell lines.
