Popis: | Effects of administration of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) on the regeneration of injured mammalian skeletal muscles were studied in male C57BL/6J mice. Muscle injury was induced by injection of cardiotoxin (CTX) into tibialis anterior muscles bilaterally. G-CSF was administrated for 8 consecutive days from 3 days before and 5 days after the injection. Significant decreases of wet weight and protein content were noted in the necrotic muscle with CTX injection. A large number of the regenerating fibers having central nucleus were observed 7 days after the injection. The regeneration of injured muscle was further facilitated by the G-CSF treatment. Population of Pax7-positive nuclei was increased by the G-CSF treatment at day 7. Phospho-Akt and phospho-glycogen synthase kinase 3alphabeta (GSK3alphabeta) signals were also activated by G-CSF-administrated group during the regenerative process. It was suggested that G-CSF treatment may facilitate the regeneration of injured skeletal muscles via the activation of Akt/GSK3alphabeta signals. |
