Unwavering Pathobiology of Volumetric Muscle Loss Injury

ABSTRACT: Volumetric muscle loss (VML) resulting from extremity trauma presents chronic and persistent functional deficits which ultimately manifest disability. Acellular biological scaffolds, or decellularized extracellular matrices (ECMs), embody an ideal treatment platform due to their current clinical use for soft tissue repair, off-the-shelf availability, and zero autogenous donor tissue burden. ECMs have been reported to promote functional skeletal muscle tissue remodeling in small and large animal models of VML injury, and this conclusion was reached in a recent clinical trial that enrolled 13 patients. However, numerous other pre-clinical reports have not observed ECM-mediated skeletal muscle regeneration. The current study was designed to reconcile these discrepancies. The capacity of ECMs to orchestrate functional muscle tissue remodeling was interrogated in a porcine VML injury model using unbiased assessments of muscle tissue regeneration and functional recovery. Here, we show that VML injury incites an overwhelming inflammatory and fibrotic response that leads to expansive fibrous tissue deposition and chronic functional deficits, which ECM repair does not augment.

Deconstruction of cellular dynamics after treatment of volumetric muscle loss injury with extracellular matrix

Project description:Volumetric muscle loss (VML) is an acute loss of a critical volume of skeletal muscle that results in inflammation, fibrotic scarring in muscle tissue, and permanent muscle defects. The cellular and molecular processes that underlie fibrosis induced from VML injury need to be evaluated in larger animal models. Therefore, we used a canine model of VML alongisde treatment with an extracellular matrix (ECM) hydrogel. Treatment with the ECM hydrogel improved muscle regenerative responses and decreased proportions and spatial signatures of fibrotic and inflammatory cell populations.

Temporal Dynamics of Gene and Protein Expression Follow Volumetric Muscle Loss

Project description:Here, we performed time-series analysis of transcriptomic and proteomic changes associated with VML in a mouse model, focusing on the dynamics of gene and protein expression patterns at up to three weeks after muscle injury. We identified signaling pathways associated with temporal expression patterns that fail to restore within 3 weeks after VML, including those with sustained upregulation or downregulation. Using temporal expression analysis, we identified Sp1 as a novel molecular mediator of dysregulated muscle recovery after VML as well as elucidated pro-inflammatory and extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling pathways mediating the remodeling process. These insights pave the way for the development of new targets that promote muscle regeneration and functional recovery of traumatically injured muscle.

Multiscale analysis of a regenerative therapy for treatment of volumetric muscle loss injury

Project description:Skeletal muscle possesses a remarkable capacity to regenerate when injured, but when confronted with major traumatic injury resulting in volumetric muscle loss (VML), the regenerative process consistently fails. The loss of muscle tissue and function from VML injury has prompted development of a suite of therapeutic approaches but these strategies have proceeded without a comprehensive understanding of the molecular landscape that drives the injury response. Herein, we administered a VML injury in an established rodent model and monitored the evolution of the healing phenomenology over multiple time points using muscle function testing, histology, and expression profiling by RNA sequencing. The injury response was then compared to a regenerative medicine treatment using orthotopic transplantation of autologous minced muscle grafts (~1 mm3 tissue fragments). A chronic inflammatory and fibrotic response was observed at all time points following VML. These results suggest that the pathological response to VML injury during the acute stage of the healing response overwhelms endogenous and therapeutic regenerative processes. Overall, the data presented delineate key molecular characteristics of the pathobiological response to VML injury that are critical effectors of effective regenerative treatment paradigms.

Single cell deconstruction of murine volumetric muscle loss reveals inflammatory imbalances preventing muscle stem cell mediated regeneration

Project description:Volumetric muscle loss (VML) overwhelms the innate regenerative capacity of mammalian skeletal muscle (SkM), leading to numerous disabilities and reduced quality of life. Immune cells are critical responders to muscle injury and guide tissue resident stem cell and progenitor mediated myogenic repair. However, how immune cell infiltration and inter-cellular communication networks are altered following VML and drive pathological outcomes remains under-explored. Herein, we characterize the cellular and molecular mechanisms of VML injuries that result in fibrotic degeneration or regeneration of SkM. Following degenerative VML injuries, we observe heightened infiltration of a previously uncharacterized population of Natural Killer (NK) cells as well as persistence of neutrophils beyond two weeks post injury. Functional validation of NK cells revealed an antagonistic role on neutrophil accumulation in part via CCR1 mediated chemotaxis. The persistent infiltration of neutrophils in degenerative VML injuries was found to contribute to impairments in muscle stem cell regenerative function, which was also attenuated by transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGFb1). Blocking TGFb signaling antagonized neutrophil accumulation, reduced fibrosis, and improved muscle specific force. Collectively, these results enhance our understanding of immune cell-stem cell crosstalk that drives regenerative dysfunction and provide further insight into possible avenues for fibrotic therapy exploration.

Maresin 1 Repletion Improves Muscle Regeneration After Volumetric Muscle Loss

Project description:The acute traumatic or surgical loss of skeletal muscle, known as volumetric muscle loss (VML), is a devastating type of injury that results in exacerbated and persistent inflammation followed by fibrosis. The mechanisms that mediate the magnitude and duration of the inflammatory response and ensuing fibrosis after VML remain understudied, and as such, the development of regenerative therapies has been limited. To address this need, we profiled how lipid mediators, which are potent regulators of the immune response after injury, varied with VML injuries that heal or result in fibrosis. We observed that non-healing VML injuries displayed increased pro-inflammatory eicosanoids and a lack of pro-resolving lipid mediators. Treatment of VML with a pro-resolving lipid mediator synthesized from docosahexaenoic acid, called Maresin 1, ameliorated fibrosis through reduction of neutrophils and macrophages and enhanced recovery of muscle strength. These results expand our knowledge of the dysregulated immune response that develops after VML and identify a novel immuno-regenerative therapeutic modality in Maresin 1.

Spatiotemporal mapping of immune and stem cell dysregulation after volumetric muscle loss

Project description:Volumetric muscle loss (VML) is an acute trauma that results in persistent inflammation, supplantation of muscle tissue with fibrotic scarring, and decreased muscle function. The cell types, nature of cellular communication, and tissue locations that drive the aberrant VML response have remained elusive. Herein, we used spatial transcriptomics on mouse and canine models of VML and observed VML engenders a unique spatial pro-fibrotic pattern driven by crosstalk between fibrotic and inflammatory macrophages and mesenchymal derived cells. The dysregulated response was conserved between murine and canine VML models, albeit with varying kinetics, and impinged on muscle stem cell mediated repair. Targeting this circuit in a murine model resulted in increased regeneration and reductions in inflammation and fibrosis. Collectively, these results enhance our understanding of the cellular crosstalk that drives aberrant regeneration and provides further insight into possible avenues for fibrotic therapy exploration.

Comprehensive proteomic characterization of stem cell-derived extracellular matrices

Project description:In the stem-cell niche, the extracellular matrix (ECM) serves as a structural support that additionally provides stem cells with signals that contribute to the regulation of stem-cell function, via reciprocal interactions between cells and components of the ECM. Recently, cell-derived ECMs have emerged as in vitro cell culture substrates to better recapitulate the native stem-cell microenvironment outside the body. Significant changes in cell number, morphology and function have been observed when mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) were cultured on ECM substrates as compared to standard tissue-culture polystyrene (TCPS). As select ECM components are known to regulate specific stem-cell functions, a robust characterization of cell-derived ECM proteomic composition is critical to better comprehend the role of the ECM in directing cellular processes. Here, we characterized and compared the protein composition of ECM produced in vitro by bone marrow-derived MSC, adipose-derived MSC and neonatal fibroblasts isolated from different donors, employing quantitative proteomic methods. Each cell-derived ECM displayed a specific and unique matrisome signature, yet they all shared a common set of proteins. We evaluated the biological response of cells cultured on the different matrices and compared them to cells on standard TCPS. The matrices lead to differential survival and gene-expression profiles among the cell types and as compared to TCPS, indicating that the cell-derived ECMs influence each cell type in a different manner. This general approach to understanding the protein composition of different tissue-specific and cell-derived ECM will inform the rational design of defined systems and biomaterials that recapitulate critical ECM signals for stem-cell culture and tissue engineering.

Changes in Protein Fluxes and Gene Expression in Non-Injured Muscle Tissue Distant from an Acute Myotoxic Injury in Male Mice

Project description:The response to acute myotoxic injury requires stimulation of local repair mechanisms in the damaged tissue. However, satellite cells in muscle distant from acute injury have been reported to enter a functional state between quiescence and active proliferation. Here, we asked whether protein flux rates are altered in muscle distant from acute local myotoxic injury and how they compare to changes in gene expression from the same tissue. Broad and significant alterations in protein turnover were observed across the proteome in the limb contralateral to injury during the first 10 days after. Interestingly, mRNA changes had almost no correlation with directly measured protein turnover rates. In summary, we show consistent and striking changes in protein flux rates in muscle tissue contralateral to myotoxic injury, with no correlation between changes in mRNA levels and protein synthesis rates. This work motivates further investigation of the mechanisms, including potential neurologic factors, responsible for this distant effect.

Laminin-guided highly efficient endothelial commitment from human pluripotent stem cells [Single Cell RNA-Seq]

Project description:Obtaining highly purified differentiated cells via directed differentiation from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) is an essential step for the clinical application of hPSCs. Among the various conditions that should be optimized, the precise role and contribution of the extracellular matrix (ECM) during differentiation are relatively unclear. Here, using a short fragment of laminin 411 (LM411-E8), an ECM predominantly expressed in the vascular endothelial basement membrane, we demonstrated that the directed switching of defined ECMs robustly yields highly purified (>95%) endothelial progenitor cells (PSC-EPCs) from hPSCs in integrin-laminin axis and rho signaling pathway-dependent manner.
