Regulation of Muscle Growth and Regeneration by the Immune System

Open access
Tidball, James G.·2017·Nature Reviews Immunology

Abstract

Diseases of muscle that are caused by pathological interactions between muscle and the immune system are devastating, but rare. However, muscle injuries that involve trauma and regeneration are fairly common, and inflammation is a clear feature of the regenerative process. Investigations of the inflammatory response to muscle injury have now revealed that the apparently nonspecific inflammatory response to trauma is actually a complex and coordinated interaction between muscle and the immune system that determines the success or failure of tissue regeneration.

  • In myocytes, binding of TNF-α to its receptor TNF-R activates the p38-MAPK pathway, leading to silencing of target genes such as Pax7 and Notch1, promoting satellite cell differentiation into myotubes.

    “In myocytes, the binding of TNF-α to its receptor TNF-R activates the p38-mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway, leading to a silencing of target genes such as Pax7 and Notch1 (via an epigenetic control), promoting satellite cell differentiation into myotubes [39]”

    From Main Pathogenic Mechanisms and Recent Advances in COPD Peripheral Skeletal Muscle Wasting (2023) · cites this paper as [39]

    In “Muscle–myeloid cell interactions during the early, proliferative stage of muscle regeneration” (page unavailable), the review describes TNF signalling through p38α repressing PAX7 via EZH2 and promoting differentiation of myogenic precursor cells. The same section describes TNF-induced epigenetic silencing of NOTCH1, but does not establish that p38α mediates that silencing; it also does not specify TNF-receptor binding as the initiating step or directly link this pathway to myotube formation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
