Exercise versus vasodilator stress limb perfusion imaging for the assessment of peripheral artery disease.

ABSTRACT: Our aim was to determine whether pharmacologic vasodilation is an alternative to exercise stress during limb perfusion imaging for peripheral artery disease (PAD).Quantitative contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEU) perfusion imaging of the bilateral anterior thigh and calf was performed in nine control subjects and nine patients with moderate to severe PAD at rest and during vasodilator stress with dipyridamole. For those who were able, CEU of the calf was then performed during modest plantar flexion exercise (20 watts). CEU time-intensity data were analyzed to quantify microvascular blood flow (MBF) and its parametric components of microvascular blood volume and flux rate.Thigh and calf skeletal muscle MBF at rest was similar between control and PAD patients. During dipyridamole, MBF increased minimally (

Circadian Dysfunction in Skeletal Muscle Impairs Limb Perfusion and Muscle Regeneration in Peripheral Artery Disease

Project description:Peripheral arterial disease (PAD), caused by atherosclerosis, leads to limb ischemia, muscle damage, and impaired mobility in the lower extremities. Recent studies suggest that circadian rhythm disruptions can hinder vascular repair during ischemia, but the specific tissues involved and the impact on muscle health remain unclear. This study investigates the role of the skeletal muscle circadian clock in muscle adaptation to ischemic stress using a surgical mouse model of hindlimb ischemia. We used mice with specific genetic loss of the circadian clock activator, BMAL1, in adult skeletal muscle tissues (Bmal1muscle). Bmal1muscle mice and controls underwent femoral artery ligation surgery to induce hindlimb ischemia. Laser doppler imaging was used to assess limb perfusion at various time points after the surgery. Muscle tissues were analyzed with RNA sequencing and histological examination to investigate PAD-related muscle pathologies. Additionally, we studied the role of BMAL1 in muscle fiber adaptation to hypoxia using RNA and ATAC sequencing analyses in primary myotube culture model. Disrupted expression of circadian rhythm-related genes was observed in existing RNA-seq datasets from PAD patient-derived endothelial cells and ischemic limb skeletal muscles. Genetic loss of Bmal1 specifically in adult mouse skeletal muscle tissues delayed reperfusion recovery following induction of hindlimb ischemia. Histological examination of muscle tissues showed reduced regenerated myofiber number and a decreased proportion of type IIB fast-twitch myofibers in Bmal1musc mouse muscles in the ischemic limbs, but not in their contralateral non-ischemic limbs. Transcriptomic analysis revealed abrogated metabolic, angiogenic, and myogenic pathways relevant to hypoxia-adaptation in Bmal1musc mouse muscles. These changes were corroborated in Bmal1-deficient cultured primary myotubes cultured under hypoxic conditions.
