Abstract
Hind limb ischemia (HLI) is the most severe form of peripheral arterial disease, associated with a substantial reduction of limb blood flow that impairs skeletal muscle homeostasis to promote functional disability. The molecular regulators of HLI-induced muscle perturbations remain poorly defined. This study investigated whether changes in the molecular catabolic-autophagy signaling network were linked to temporal remodeling of skeletal muscle in HLI. HLI was induced in mice via hindlimb ischemia (femoral artery ligation) and confirmed by Doppler echocardiography. Experiments were terminated at time points defined as early- (7 days; n = 5) or late- (28 days; n = 5) stage HLI. Ischemic and nonischemic (contralateral) limb muscles were compared. Ischemic versus nonischemic muscles demonstrated overt remodeling at early-HLI but normalized at late-HLI. Early-onset fiber atrophy was associated with excessive autophagy signaling in ischemic muscle; protein expression increased for Beclin-1, LC3, and p62 (P < 0.05) but proteasome-dependent markers were reduced (P < 0.05). Mitophagy signaling increased in early-stage HLI that aligned with an early and sustained loss of mitochondrial content (P < 0.05). Upstream autophagy regulators, Sestrins, showed divergent responses during early-stage HLI (Sestrin2 increased while Sestrin1 decreased; P < 0.05) in parallel to increased AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) phosphorylation (P < 0.05) and lower antioxidant enzyme expression. No changes were found in markers for mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 signaling. These data indicate that early activation of the sestrin-AMPK signaling axis may regulate autophagy to stimulate rapid and overt muscle atrophy in HLI, which is normalized within weeks and accompanied by recovery of muscle mass. A complex interplay between Sestrins to regulate autophagy signaling during early-to-late muscle remodeling in HLI is likely.

Abstract
Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is an RNA-dominant disease whose pathogenesis stems from the functional loss of muscleblind-like RNA-binding proteins (RBPs), which causes the formation of alternative-splicing defects. The loss of functional muscleblind-like protein 1 (MBNL1) results from its nuclear sequestration by mutant transcripts containing pathogenic expanded CUG repeats (CUGexp). Here we show that an RBP engineered to act as a decoy for CUGexp reverses the toxicity of the mutant transcripts. In vitro, the binding of the RBP decoy to CUGexp in immortalized muscle cells derived from a patient with DM1 released sequestered endogenous MBNL1 from nuclear RNA foci, restored MBNL1 activity, and corrected the transcriptomic signature of DM1. In mice with DM1, the local or systemic delivery of the RBP decoy via an adeno-associated virus into the animals' skeletal muscle led to the long-lasting correction of the splicing defects and to ameliorated disease pathology. Our findings support the development of decoy RBPs with high binding affinities for expanded RNA repeats as a therapeutic strategy for myotonic dystrophies.

Abstract
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is an increasingly common narrowing of the peripheral arteries that can lead to lower limb ischemia, muscle weakness and gangrene. Surgical vein or arterial grafts could improve PAD, but may not be suitable in elderly patients, prompting research into less invasive approaches. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been proposed as potential therapy, but their effectiveness and underlying mechanisms in limb ischemia are unclear. We tested the hypothesis that treatment with naive MSCs (nMSCs) or MSCs expressing CD146 (CD146+MSCs) could improve vascularity and muscle function in rat model of hind-limb ischemia. Sixteen month old Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to 4 groups: sham-operated control, ischemia, ischemia + nMSCs and ischemia+CD146+MSCs. After 4 weeks of respective treatment, rat groups were assessed for ischemic clinical score, Tarlov score, muscle capillary density, TUNEL apoptosis assay, contractile force, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) mRNA expression. CD146+MSCs showed greater CD146 mRNA expression than nMSCs. Treatment with nMSCs or CD146+MSCs improved clinical and Tarlov scores, muscle capillary density, contractile force and VEGF mRNA expression in ischemic limbs as compared to non-treated ischemia group. The improvements in muscle vascularity and function were particularly greater in ischemia+CD146+MSCs than ischemia + nMSCs group. TUNEL positive apoptotic cells were least abundant in ischemia+CD146+MSCs compared with ischemia + nMSCs and non-treated ischemia groups. Thus, MSCs particularly those expressing CD146 improve vascularity, muscle function and VEGF expression and reduce apoptosis in rat ischemic limb, and could represent a promising approach to improve angiogenesis and muscle function in PAD.

Abstract
Leg muscle ischemia in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) leads to alterations in skeletal muscle morphology and reduced leg strength. We tested the hypothesis that exposure to heat therapy (HT) would improve skeletal muscle function in a mouse model of ischemia-induced muscle damage. Male 42-wk-old C57Bl/6 mice underwent ligation of the femoral artery and were randomly assigned to receive HT (immersion in a water bath at 37°C, 39°C, or 41°C for 30 min) or a control intervention for 3 wk. At the end of the treatment, the animals were anesthetized and the soleus and extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles were harvested for the assessment of contractile function and examination of muscle morphology. A subset of animals was used to examine the impact of a single HT session on the expression of genes involved in myogenesis and the regulation of muscle mass. Relative soleus muscle mass was significantly higher in animals exposed to HT at 39°C compared with the control group (control: 0.36 ± 0.01 mg/g versus 39°C: 0.40 ± 0.01 mg/g, P = 0.024). Maximal absolute force of the soleus was also significantly higher in animals treated with HT at 37°C and 39°C (control: 274.7 ± 6.6 mN; 37°C: 300.1 ± 7.7 mN; 39°C: 299.5 ± 10 mN, P < 0.05). In the soleus, but not the EDL muscle, a single session of HT enhanced the mRNA expression of myogenic factors as well as of both positive and negative regulators of muscle mass. These findings suggest that the beneficial effects of HT are muscle specific and dependent on the treatment temperature in a model of PAD. NEW & NOTEWORTHY This is the first study to comprehensively examine the impact of temperature and muscle fiber type composition on the adaptations to repeated heat stress in a model of ischemia-induced muscle damage. Exposure to heat therapy (HT) at 37°C and 39°C, but not at 41°C, improved force development of the isolated soleus muscle. These results suggest that HT may be a practical therapeutic tool to restore muscle mass and strength in patients with peripheral artery disease.

Hypoxia-induced sensitisation of TRPA1 in painful dysesthesia evoked by transient hindlimb ischemia/reperfusion in mice. Sci Rep 2016; 6:23261.

Abstract
Dysesthesia is an unpleasant abnormal sensation, which is often accompanied by peripheral neuropathy or vascular impairment. Here, we examined the roles of transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) in dysesthesia-like behaviours elicited by transient hindlimb ischemia (15–60 min) by tightly compressing the hindlimb, and reperfusion by releasing the ligature. The paw-withdrawal responses to tactile stimulation were reduced during ischemia and lasted for a while after reperfusion. Hindlimb ischemia/reperfusion elicited spontaneous licking of the ischemic hindpaw that peaked within 10 min. The licking was inhibited by reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavengers, a TRPA1 antagonist, or TRPA1 deficiency, but not by TRPV1 deficiency. In human TRPA1-expressing cells as well as cultured mouse dorsal root ganglion neurons, the H2O2-evoked TRPA1 response was significantly increased by pretreatment with hypoxia (80 mmHg) for 30 min. This hypoxia-induced TRPA1 sensitisation to H2O2 was inhibited by overexpressing a catalytically-inactive mutant of prolyl hydroxylase (PHD) 2 or in a TRPA1 proline mutant resistant to PHDs. Consistent with these results, a PHD inhibitor increased H2O2-evoked nocifensive behaviours through TRPA1 activation. Our results suggest that transient hindlimb ischemia/reperfusion-evoked spontaneous licking, i.e. painful dysesthesia, is caused by ROS-evoked activation of TRPA1 sensitised by hypoxia through inhibiting PHD-mediated hydroxylation of a proline residue in TRPA1.

Acute effect of androgens on maximal force-generating capacity and electrically evoked calcium transient in mouse skeletal muscles. Steroids 2014; 87:6-11.

Abstract
As androgens might have rapid androgen-receptor (AR) independent action on muscle cells, we analysed the in vivo acute effect of androgens on maximal force generation capacity and electrically evoked calcium transient responsible for the excitation-contraction coupling in skeletal muscle from wild-type male mice and muscle fibre androgen receptor (AR) deficient (AR(skm-/y)) male mice. We tested the hypothesis that acute in vivo androgen treatment improves contractility and modifies calcium transient in mouse hindlimb muscles. In addition, we determined whether the reduced maximal force generation capacity of AR(skm-/y) mice is caused by an alteration in calcium transient. We found that acute dehydrotestosterone (DHT) and testosterone treatment of mice does not change in situ maximal force, power or fatigue resistance of tibialis anterior muscles. In agreement with this observation, maximal force and twitch kinetics also remained unchanged when both whole extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscle or fibre bundles were incubated in vitro with DHT. Electrically evoked calcium transient, i.e. calcium amplitude, time to peak and decay, was also not modified by DHT treatment of EDL muscle fibre bundles. Finally, we found no difference in calcium transient between AR(skm-/y) and wild-type mice despite the reduced maximal force in EDL fibre bundles of AR(skm-/y) mice. In conclusion, acute androgen treatment has no ergogenic effect on muscle contractility and does not affect calcium transient in response to stimulation. In addition, the reduced maximal force of AR(skm-/y) mice is not related to calcium transient dysfunction.

Abstract
Myostatin (Mstn) participates in the regulation of skeletal muscle size and has emerged as a regulator of muscle metabolism. Here, we hypothesized that lack of myostatin profoundly depresses oxidative phosphorylation-dependent muscle function. Toward this end, we explored Mstn −/− mice as a model for the constitutive absence of myostatin and AAV-mediated overexpression of myostatin propeptide as a model of myostatin blockade in adult wild-type mice. We show that muscles from Mstn −/− mice, although larger and stronger, fatigue extremely rapidly. Myostatin deficiency shifts muscle from aerobic toward anaerobic energy metabolism, as evidenced by decreased mitochondrial respiration, reduced expression of PPAR transcriptional regulators, increased enolase activity, and exercise-induced lactic acidosis. As a consequence, constitutively reduced myostatin signaling diminishes exercise capacity, while the hypermuscular state of Mstn−/− mice increases oxygen consumption and the energy cost of running. We wondered whether these results are the mere consequence of the congenital fiber-type switch toward a glycolytic phenotype of constitutive Mstn −/− mice. Hence, we overexpressed myostatin propeptide in adult mice, which did not affect fiber-type distribution, while nonetheless causing increased muscle fatigability, diminished exercise capacity, and decreased Pparb/d and Pgc1a expression. In conclusion, our results suggest that myostatin endows skeletal muscle with high oxidative capacity and low fatigability, thus regulating the delicate balance between muscle mass, muscle force, energy metabolism, and endurance capacity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent findings have elucidated that netrin-1 has ability of promoting angiogenesis besides the functions in nervous system. Autologous mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) transplantation is now proved to be an effective method to treat peripheral arterial disease. However there are still many patients who cannot complete full treatments. Therefore it is necessary to improve the effectiveness. This study estimated the curative effects in chronic limb ischemia when MSCs allied with netrin-1. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-six rats were made into chronic limb ischemia models. They were randomly assigned to four groups, netrin-1 + MSCs group (treated with netrin-1 and MSCs derived from peripheral blood), MSCs group (treated with MSCs individually), netrin-1 group (treated with netrin-1 individually), and control group (treated with saline). Measurements of murine behaviors, vascular endothelial growth factor expression, and capillary density in ischemia limb were performed on days 7, 14, and 28 after treatments; measurements of contraction force in ischemia limb was performed on day 28 after treatments to compare differences among the groups. RESULTS Netrin-1 allied with MSCs significantly increased Tarlov score, vascular endothelial growth factor expression, capillary density, and muscular strength in ischemia limb. CONCLUSIONS Netrin-1 allied with MSCs derived from peripheral blood significantly promoted angiogenesis in aged rats with chronic limb ischemia. It may be a promising method of treating peripheral arterial disease in the future.

Abstract
Constitutive vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene expression systems have been extensively used to treat peripheral arterial diseases, but most of the results have not been satisfactory. In this study, we designed a plasmid vector with a hypoxia-responsive element sequence incorporated into it with the phiC31 integrative system (pVHAVI) to allow long-term VEGF gene expression and to be activated under hypoxia. Repeated activations of VEGF gene expression under hypoxia were confirmed in HEK293 and C2C12 cells transfected with pVHAVI. In limb ischemic mice, the local administration of pVHAVI promoted gastrocnemius mass and force recovery and ameliorated limb necrosis much better than the group treated with hypoxia-insensitive vector, even this last group had produced more VEGF in muscle. Histological analyses carried out after four weeks of gene therapy showed increased capillary density and matured vessels, and reduced number of necrotic cells and fibrosis in pVHAVI treated group. By our study, we demonstrate that the presence of high concentration of VEGF in ischemic tissue is not beneficial or is less beneficial than maintaining a lower but sufficient and long-term concentration of VEGF locally.

Impaired skeletal muscle repair after ischemia-reperfusion injury in mice. J Biomed Biotechnol 2010; 2010:724914.

Abstract
Ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury can induce skeletal muscle fibre death and subsequent regeneration. By 14 days, absolute and specific maximal forces and fatigue resistance in ischemic/reperfused soleus muscles were still reduced (-89%, -81%, and -75%, resp.) as compared to control muscles (P < .05). The decrease of these parameters in ischemic/reperfused muscle was much greater than that of myotoxic injured muscles (-12%, -11%, and -19%; P < .05). In addition, at 14 days ischemic/reperfused muscle structure was still abnormal, showing small muscle fibres expressing neonatal myosin heavy chain and large necrotic muscle fibres that were not observed in myotoxin treated muscles. By 56 days, in contrast to myotoxin treated muscles, specific maximal force and muscle weight of the ischemic/reperfused muscles did not fully recover (P < .05). This differential recovery between ischemic/reperfused and myotoxin treated muscles was not related to the differences in the initial cell death, loss of satellite cells after injury, expression of growth factors (IGF1, IGF2..), or capillary density in regenerating muscles. In conclusion, our results demonstrate that IR injury in mice induces long term detrimental effects in skeletal muscles and that the recovery following IR injury was delayed for yet unknown reasons as compared to myotoxic injury.

Abstract
It is of common knowledge that diabetes decreases skeletal muscle contractility and induces atrophy. However, how hyperglycemia and insulin deficiency modify muscle mass and neuromuscular recovery after muscle injury is not well known. We have analyzed two models of diabetes: streptozotocin (STZ)-treated Swiss mice and Akita mice that spontaneously develop diabetes. A fast muscle, the tibialis anterior, was injured following injection of a myotoxic agent (cardiotoxin). Neuromuscular function was evaluated by examining in situ isometric contractile properties of regenerating muscles in response to nerve stimulation 14, 28 and 56 days after myotoxic injury. We found that STZ-induced diabetes reduces muscle weight and absolute maximal tetanic force in both regenerating and uninjured muscles (p = 0.0001). Moreover, it increases specific maximal tetanic force and tetanic fusion in regenerating and uninjured muscles (p = 0.04). In the Akita mice, diabetes decreases muscle weight and absolute maximal tetanic force, and increases tetanic fusion in both regenerating and uninjured muscles (p < or = 0.003). Interestingly, STZ-induced diabetes exerts more marked effects than diabetes of genetic origin, in particular on muscle weight. This reduction in muscle mass was not due to an increased expression of the atrogenes MuRF1 and atrogin-1 during STZ-induced diabetes. The present study in mice demonstrates that both models of diabetes impair regenerating muscles as well as uninjured muscles. Regenerating fast muscles are weaker, lighter and slower in diabetic compared with nondiabetic mice.

Differential recovery of neuromuscular function after nerve/muscle injury induced by crude venom from Notechis scutatus, cardiotoxin from Naja atra and bupivacaine treatments in mice.

Abstract
Different neuromyotoxic agents are frequently used in rodent models of skeletal nerve/muscle injury and repair. However, their differential effects are not well known. Right Tibialis anterior muscles of mice were injured by one of three different neuromyotoxic agents: crude venom from Notechis scutatus, cardiotoxin from Naja atra or bupivacaine (local anesthetic). Mice were studied 5, 14 and 56 days after injury by analysing the recovery of in situ muscle isometric function in response to nerve stimulation, muscle weights and muscle histology. Our results show that at day 5 venom treatment had a more debilitating effect on muscle weights and maximal tetanic force than cardiotoxin and bupivacaine treatments (p<0.05). Moreover, the degree of recovery of muscle parameters 14 days after neuromyotoxic treatment varies as follow: venom<bupivacaine<cardiotoxin. By day 56, we found that injured muscles still exhibit deficits in maximal tetanic force (cardiotoxin and bupivacaine treatments) and fatigue resistance (venom and cardiotoxin treatments) as compared to control muscles (p<0.05). In conclusion, these results indicate that neuromyotoxic agents induce differential destructive effects and recovery in mice and confirm the fact that full nerve/muscle repair is slow and in some cases may never be attained.
