Abstract

Recent data suggest a physiological role for the proinflammatory cytokine TNF-alpha in skeletal muscle regeneration. However, the underlying mechanism is not understood. In the present study, we analyzed TNF-alpha-activated signaling pathways involved in myogenesis in soleus muscle injured by cardiotoxin (CTX) in TNF-alpha receptor double-knockout mice (p55(-/-)p75(-/-)). We found that activation of p38MAPK, which is critical for myogenesis, was blocked in CTX-injured p55(-/-)p75(-/-) soleus on day 3 postinjury when myogenic differentiation was being initiated, while activation of ERK1/2 and JNK MAPK, as well as transcription factor NF-kappaB, was not reduced. Consequently, the phosphorylation of transcription factor myocyte enhancer factor-2C, which is catalyzed by p38 and crucial for the expression of muscle-specific genes, was blunted. Meanwhile, expression of p38-dependent differentiation marker myogenin and p21 were suppressed. In addition, expression of cyclin D1 was fivefold that in wild-type (WT) soleus. These results suggest that myogenic differentiation is blocked or delayed in the absence of TNF-alpha signaling. Histological studies revealed abnormalities in regenerating p55(-/-)p75(-/-) soleus. On day 5 postinjury, new myofiber formation was clearly observed in WT soleus but not in p55(-/-)p75(-/-) soleus. To the contrary, p55(-/-)p75(-/-) soleus displayed renewed inflammation and dystrophic calcification. On day 12 postinjury, the muscle architecture of WT soleus was largely restored. Yet, in p55(-/-)p75(-/-) soleus, multifocal areas of inflammation, myofiber death, and myofibers with smaller cross-sectional area were observed. Functional studies demonstrated an attenuated recovery of contractile force in injured p55(-/-)p75(-/-) soleus. These data suggest that TNF-alpha signaling plays a critical regulatory role in muscle regeneration.

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.
