Abstract: BACKGROUND: The self-renewal of muscle satellite cells is an important part of the regeneration and repair of the skeletal muscle after muscle fiber damage. 
OBJECTIVE: To review the research progress of self-renewal and related signal regulation of myosatellite cells. 
METHODS: The relevant literatures were searched in PubMed and Web of Science database, using the keywords of “skeletal muscle, satellite cells, stem cell, muscle repair” and “signal pathway, self-renewal.” After reading titles and abstracts, the literatures that were not related to the theme of the article were excluded and finally, 60 literatures were included for result analysis. 
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: In recent years, increasing attention has been paid to the involvement of muscle satellite cells in the adaptive process of skeletal muscle, which are widely and rapidly activated to generate muscle cells to act on skeletal muscle injury. The diversity and complexity of the self-renewal mechanism of muscle satellite cells can affect the repair and regeneration of skeletal muscle by regulating the differentiation of muscle satellite cells. At present, a large number of research on the self-renewal of muscle satellite cells are related to aging. A good application prospect is displayed by improving the activation degree of muscle satellite cells, increasing the number of individuals involved, and exploring their participation in  tissue regeneration and repair, but more in-depth research and exploration are needed to clarify the specific mechanism.

Key words: muscle, muscle satellite cell, skeletal muscle, skeletal muscle regeneration, signal pathway, RNA, protein, review
