Project description:To explore the impact of targeting IL-10 signaling, tibialis anterior (TA) VML injuries were created and then treated in Sprague Dawley rats using an autologous minced muscle regenerative medicine repair strategy in combination with delayed exogenous IL-10 delivery. We then performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq from rat muscles (n=4 for IL-10 treatment, n=4 for PBS control , and n=4 for uninjured control) at day 14 post 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.

Project description: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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Project description:In this study, we used a recellularization method of perfusing cells into biological scaffolds through vascular pedicles. ASCs and L6 cells were co-seeded into adipose decellularized extracellular matrix (adECM) biological scaffolds. On one hand, this strategy ensures uniform distribution of seeded cells in the scaffold and avoids the formation of non-functional "muscle islands" later. On the other hand, co-seeding of L6 cells and ASCs addresses the issue of low myogenic differentiation potential of ASCs. Subsequently, the recellularized biological scaffold treatment of VML animal experiments showed that the combined recellularization strategy had significantly better muscle regeneration and angiogenesis than the single ASCs recellularization strategy, and the former had better functional recovery of tibialis anterior muscle (TA). Further single cell sequencing analysis found that compared to singly seeded ASCs in biological scaffolds, L6 cells in the combined recellularization induced ASCs to transform into a new subpopulation of cells highly expressing Mki67, CD34 and CDK1 genes, which had stronger ability of oriented myogenic differentiation and formed more mature and larger muscle fibers, significantly restoring TA muscle function.

Project description:We identified genes expressed in mouse skeletal muscle, during the process of muscle regeneration after injury, which are dysregulated in the absence of Mef2a expression. MEF2A is a member of the evolutionarily conserved MEF2 transcription factor family which has known roles in cardiac muscle development and function, but is not well studied in skeletal muscle. We performed a comparison of gene expression profiles in wild type and MEF2A knockout tibialis anterior muscle, seven days post-injury with cardiotoxin. The results indicated that a variety of genes expressed during muscle regeneration, predominantly microRNAs in the Gtl2-Dio3 locus, are dysregulated by the loss of MEF2A expression. Skeletal muscle RNA used in the present study included the following two sample groups: (WT) pooled total RNA from tibialis anterior muscle taken from 5 wild type mice at seven days post-injury with 10uM cardiotoxin; (KO) pooled total RNA from tibialis anterior muscle taken from 5 Mef2a knockout mice at seven days post-injury with 10uM cardiotoxin. All mice were between 2-4 months of age. Both male and female mice were used.
