Project description:Chronic limb threatening ischemia (CLTI) is the most severe manifestation of peripheral atherosclerosis. Patients with CLTI have poor muscle quality and function and are at high risk for limb amputation and death. The objective of this study was to interrogate the metabolome of limb muscle from CLTI patients. To accomplish this, a prospective cohort of CLTI patients undergoing either a surgical intervention (CLTI Pre-surgery) or limb amputation (CLTI Amputation), as well as non-peripheral arterial disease (non-PAD) controls were enrolled. Gastrocnemius muscle biopsy specimens were obtained and processed for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based metabolomics analyses using solution state NMR on extracted aqueous and organic phases and 1H high-resolution magic angle spinning (HR-MAS) on intact muscle specimens. CLTI Amputation specimens displayed classical features of ischemic/hypoxic metabolism including accumulation of succinate, fumarate, lactate, alanine, and a significant decrease in the pyruvate/lactate ratio. CLTI Amputation muscle also featured aberrant amino acid metabolism marked by elevated branched chain amino acids. Finally, both Pre-surgery and Amputation CLTI muscles exhibited pronounced accumulation of lipids, suggesting the presence of myosteatosis, including cholesterol, triglycerides, and saturated fatty acids. Taken together, these metabolite differences add to a growing body of literature that have characterized profound metabolic disturbance's in the failing ischemic limb of CLTI patients.

Project description:ObjectiveToll-like receptors (TLRs) are key pattern recognition receptors in the innate immune system. In particular, the TLR4-mediated immune response has been implicated in ischemia-induced tissue injury. Mounting evidence supports a detrimental role of the innate immune system in the pathophysiology of skeletal muscle damage in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI), in whom patient-oriented functional outcomes are poor. The overall aim of this study was to investigate the potential role of TLR4 in skeletal muscle dysfunction and damage in CLTI.MethodsThe role of TLR4 in ischemic muscle was investigated by (1) studying TLR4 expression and distribution in human gastrocnemius muscle biopsies, (2) evaluating the functional consequences of TLR4 inhibition in myotubes derived from human muscle biopsies, and (3) assessing the therapeutic potential of modulating TLR4 signaling in ischemic muscle in a mouse hindlimb ischemia model.ResultsTLR4 was found to be expressed in human muscle biopsies, with significant upregulation in samples from patients with CLTI. In vitro studies using cultured human myotubes demonstrated upregulation of TLR4 in ischemia, with activation of the downstream signaling pathway. Inhibition of TLR4 before ischemia was associated with reduced ischemia-induced apoptosis. Upregulation of TLR4 also occurred in ischemia in vivo and TLR4 inhibition was associated with decreased inflammatory cell infiltration and diminished apoptosis in the ischemic limb.ConclusionsTLR4 is upregulated and activated in ischemic skeletal muscle in patients with CLTI. Modulating TLR4 signaling in vitro and in vivo was associated with attenuation of ischemia-induced skeletal muscle damage. This strategy could be explored further for potential clinical application.

Project description:This work sought to develop a robust and clinically relevant swine model of critical limb ischemia (CLI) involving the onset of ischemic muscle necrosis. CLI carries about 25-40% risk of major amputation with 20% annual mortality. Currently, there is no specific treatment that targets the ischemic myopathy characteristic of CLI. Current swine models of CLI, with tolerable side-effects, fail to achieve sustained ischemia followed by a necrotic myopathic endpoint. Such limitation in experimental model hinders development of effective interventions. CLI was induced unilaterally by ligation-excision of one inch of the common femoral artery (CFA) via infra-inguinal minimal incision in female Yorkshire pigs (n = 5). X-ray arteriography was done pre- and post-CFA transection to validate successful induction of severe ischemia. Weekly assessment of the sequalae of ischemia on limb perfusion, and degree of ischemic myopathy was conducted for 1 month using X-ray arteriography, laser speckle imaging, CTA angiography, femoral artery duplex, high resolution ultrasound and histopathological analysis. The non-invasive tissue analysis of the elastography images showed specific and characteristic pattern of increased muscle stiffness indicative of the fibrotic and necrotic outcome expected with associated total muscle ischemia. The prominent onset of skeletal muscle necrosis was evident upon direct inspection of the affected tissues. Ischemic myopathic changes associated with inflammatory infiltrates and deficient blood vessels were objectively validated. A translational model of severe hindlimb ischemia causing ischemic myopathy was successfully established adopting an approach that enables long-term survival studies in compliance with regulatory requirements pertaining to animal welfare.

Project description:Contusion concomitant with ischemia injury to skeletal muscles is common in civilian and battlefield trauma. Despite their clinical importance, few experimental studies on these injuries are reported. The present study established a rat skeletal muscle contusion concomitant with ischemia injury model to identify skeletal muscle alterations compared with contusion injury or ischemia injury. Macroscopic and microscopic morphological evaluation showed that contusion concomitant with ischemia injury aggravated muscle edema and hematoxylin-eosin (HE) injury score at 24 h postinjury. Serum creatine kinase (CK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels, together with gastrocnemius muscle (GM) tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) content elevated at 24 h postinjury too. During the 28-day follow-up, electrophysiological and contractile impairment was more severe in the contusion concomitant with ischemia injury group. In addition, contusion concomitant with ischemia injury decreased the percentage of larger (600-3000 μm2) fibers and increased the fibrotic area and collagen I proportion in the GM. Smaller proportions of Pax7+ and MyoD+ satellite cells (SCs) were observed in the contusion concomitant with ischemia injury group at 7 days postinjury. In conclusion, contusion concomitant with ischemia injury to skeletal muscle not only aggravates early muscle fiber necrosis but also hinders muscle functional recovery by impairing SC differentiation and exacerbating fibrosis during skeletal muscle repair.

Project description:Ischemia reperfusion (IR) injury plays a pivotal role in many diseases and leads to collateral damage during surgical interventions. While most studies focus on alleviating its severity in the context of brain, liver, kidney, and cardiac tissue, research as regards to skeletal muscle has not been conducted to the same extent. In the past, myostatin (MSTN), primarily known for supressing muscle growth, has been implicated in inflammatory circuits, and research provided promising results for cardiac IR injury mitigation by inhibiting MSTN cell surface receptor ACVR2B. This generated the question if interrupting MSTN signaling could temper IR injury in skeletal muscle. Examining human specimens from free myocutaneous flap transfer demonstrated increased MSTN signaling and tissue damage in terms of apoptotic activity, cell death, tissue edema, and lipid peroxidation. In subsequent in vivo MstnLn/Ln IR injury models, we identified potential mechanisms linking MSTN deficiency to protective effects, among others, inhibition of p38 MAPK signaling and SERCA2a modulation. Furthermore, transcriptional profiling revealed a putative involvement of NK cells. Collectively, this work establishes a protective role of MSTN deficiency in skeletal muscle IR injury.

Project description:The macrophage-mediated inflammatory response is crucial for the recovery of skeletal muscle following ischemia. Therefore, macrophage-based therapeutic targets need to be explored for ischemic disease. In the current study, we found that the mRNA levels of scavenger receptor A1 ( Sr-a1) were elevated in patients with critical limb ischemia, based on an analysis of the Gene Expression Omnibus data. We then investigated the role and underlying mechanisms of macrophage SR-A1 in a mouse hindlimb ischemia (HLI) model. Compared with the Sr-a1 fl/fl mice, the Lyz Cre/+/ Sr-a1 flox/flox ( Sr-a1 ΔMΦ) mice showed significantly reduced laser Doppler blood flow in the ischemic limb on day seven after HLI. Consistently, histological analysis revealed that the ischemic limb of the Sr-a1 ΔMΦ mice exhibited more severe and prolonged necrotic morphology, inflammation, fibrosis, decreased vessel density, and delayed regeneration than that of the control Sr-a1 fl/fl mice. Furthermore, restoring wild-type myeloid cells to the Sr-a1 knockout mice effectively improved the Doppler perfusion in the ischemic limb and mitigated skeletal muscle damage seven days after HLI. Consistent with these in vivo findings, co-cultivating macrophages with the mouse myoblast cell line C2C12 revealed that the Sr-a1 -/- bone marrow macrophages significantly inhibited myoblast differentiation in vitro. Mechanistically, SR-A1 enhanced the skeletal muscle regeneration in response to HLI by inhibiting oncostatin M production via suppression of the NF-κB signaling activation. These findings indicate that SR-A1 may be a promising candidate protein to improve tissue repair and regeneration in peripheral ischemic arterial disease.

Project description:The most severe manifestation of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is critical limb ischemia (CLI). CLI patients suffer high rates of amputation and mortality; accordingly, there remains a clear need both to better understand CLI and to develop more effective treatments. Gastrocnemius muscle was obtained from 32 older (51-84 years) non-PAD controls, 27 claudicating PAD patients (ankle-brachial index [ABI] 0.65 ± 0.21 SD), and 19 CLI patients (ABI 0.35 ± 0.30 SD) for whole transcriptome sequencing and comprehensive mitochondrial phenotyping. Comparable permeabilized myofiber mitochondrial function was paralleled by both similar mitochondrial content and related mRNA expression profiles in non-PAD control and claudicating patient tissues. Tissues from CLI patients, despite being histologically intact and harboring equivalent mitochondrial content, presented a unique bioenergetic signature. This signature was defined by deficits in permeabilized myofiber mitochondrial function and a unique pattern of both nuclear and mitochondrial encoded gene suppression. Moreover, isolated muscle progenitor cells retained both mitochondrial functional deficits and gene suppression observed in the tissue. These findings indicate that muscle tissues from claudicating patients and non-PAD controls were similar in both their bioenergetics profile and mitochondrial phenotypes. In contrast, CLI patient limb skeletal muscles harbor a unique skeletal muscle mitochondriopathy that represents a potentially novel therapeutic site for intervention.

Project description:Skeletal muscle injury in peripheral artery disease (PAD) has been attributed to vascular insufficiency, however evidence has demonstrated that muscle cell responses play a role in determining outcomes in limb ischemia. Here, we demonstrate that genetic ablation of Pax7+ muscle progenitor cells (MPCs) in a model of hindlimb ischemia (HLI) inhibited muscle regeneration following ischemic injury, despite a lack of morphological or physiological changes in resting muscle. Compared to control mice (Pax7WT), the ischemic limb of Pax7-deficient mice (Pax7Δ) was unable to generate significant force 7 or 28 days after HLI. A significant increase in adipose was observed in the ischemic limb 28 days after HLI in Pax7Δ mice, which replaced functional muscle. Adipogenesis in Pax7Δ mice corresponded with a significant increase in PDGFRα+ fibro/adipogenic progenitors (FAPs). Inhibition of FAPs with batimastat decreased muscle adipose but increased fibrosis. In vitro, Pax7Δ MPCs failed to form myotubes but displayed increased adipogenesis. Skeletal muscle from patients with critical limb threatening ischemia displayed increased adipose in more ischemic regions of muscle, which corresponded with fewer satellite cells. Collectively, these data demonstrate that Pax7+ MPCs are required for muscle regeneration after ischemia and suggest that muscle regeneration may be an important therapeutic target in PAD.
