Sustained Peripheral Arterial Insufficiency Durably Impairs Normal and Regenerating Skeletal Muscle Function

Abstract: Peripheral vascular occlusive diseases are frequently observed in humans, and studies with animal models have been largely used. However the effects of sustained lower limb ischemia on normal and regenerating hindlimb skeletal muscles are not well known in the mouse model. Therefore prolonged unilateral hindlimb ligation was generated by femoral artery ligation. Normal (myotoxic-untreated) and regenerating (myotoxicreated) ischemic muscles were studied by analyses of the in situ contractile properties and hist… Show more

“…Cardiotoxin exhibits protein kinase C activity and is a pore-forming agent that causes the degradation of the plasma membrane [8] . In the present study, we verified that hematoxylin-stained transverse sections of myotoxic-treated muscles exhibited centronucleated muscle fibers (regenerating muscle fibers) that filled 1 80-100% of the muscle cross-section area 56 days after myotoxic injury, confirming that our myotoxic treatment resulted in an almost total destruction of tibialis anterior (TA) muscles in every mouse, as previously observed [17,18] . Animals were anesthetized with pentobarbital (60 mg/kg).…”

“…Another explanation of the detrimental effects of diabetes on muscle size may be a decrease in the blood supply to muscles [27] and a deficient neurotransmission [2] . Indeed, efficient muscle vascularization and innervation are known to be essential for muscle maintenance and regeneration [18] . Moreover, both STZ-induced diabetes in Swiss mice and diabetes of genetic origin in Akita mice increased the degree of tetanic fusion of regenerating muscles as well as in uninjured muscles.…”

“…Expression levels of ␤-enolase are at least twofold higher in fast-twitch muscle, which relies on glycolysis compared to slow muscles such as the Soleus, which mostly relies on oxidative energy metabolism (Keller et al, 1995). Thus, ␤-enolase is a good marker of fast-glycolytic fibers (Fougerousse et al, 2001;Hourde et al, 2005Hourde et al, , 2006.…”

“…Blood supply is also considered to play an important role in muscle repair [11,12]. This was recently confirmed by a study reporting that arterial peripheral insufficiency decreased muscle recovery after injury [19]. We therefore hypothesised that the reduced blood supply due to microvascular leakage observed after IR [1] explains the reduced muscle recovery after IR injury.…”

“…It has been previously documented that a reduced blood supply impairs muscle recovery following injury [19]. To test the hypothesis that a reduction in muscle blood supply could explain the difference between ischemic/reperfused and myotoxin-treated muscles, we also analysed muscle capillarity.…”
