Arntl deficiency in myeloid cells reduces neutrophil recruitment and delays skeletal muscle repair.

ABSTRACT: After a muscle injury, a process comprising inflammation, repair, and regeneration must occur in a time-sensitive manner for skeletal muscle to be adequately repaired and regenerated. This complex process is assumed to be controlled by various myeloid cell types, including monocytes and macrophages, though the mechanism is not fully understood. Aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator-like (Arntl or Bmal1) is a transcription factor that controls the circadian rhythm and has been implicated in regulating myeloid cell functions. In the present study, we generated myeloid cell-specific Arntl conditional knockout (cKO) mice to assess the role of Arntl expressed in myeloid cell populations during the repair process after muscle injury. Myeloid cell-specific Arntl deletion impaired muscle
