Skeletal muscle regeneration depends on myoblast migration, differentiation and myofiber formation. Isoforms of the nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) family of transcription factors display nonredundant roles in skeletal muscle. NFAT5, a new isoform of NFAT, displays many differences from NFATc1-c4. Here, we examine the role of NFAT5 in myogenesis. NFAT5(+/-) mice displayed a defect in muscle regeneration with fewer myofibers formed at early times after injury. NFAT5 has a muscle-intrinsic function because inhibition of NFAT5 transcriptional activity caused both a migratory and differentiation defect in cultured myoblasts. We identified Cyr61 as a target of NFAT5 signaling in skeletal muscle cells. Addition of Cyr61 to cells expressing inhibitory forms of NFAT5 rescued the migratory phenotype. These results demonstrate a role for NFAT5 in skeletal muscle cell migration and differentiation. Furthermore, as cell-cell interactions are crucial for myoblast differentiation, these data suggest that myoblast migration and differentiation are coupled and that NFAT5 is a key regulator.
