Digital image analysis of striated skeletal muscle tissue injury during reperfusion after induced ischemia

Inflammatory, oxidative, and autoimmune responses cause severe damage to the nervous system inducing loss of myelin layers or demyelination. Even though demyelination is not considered a direct cause of skeletal muscle disease there is extensive damage in skeletal muscles following demyelination and impaired innervation. In vitro and in vivo evidence using exogenous antioxidants in models of demyelination is showing improvements in myelin formation alongside skeletal muscle recovery. For instance, exogenous antioxidants such as EGCG stimulate nerve structure maintenance, activation of glial cells, and reduction of oxidative stress. Consequently, this evidence is also showing structural and functional recovery of impaired skeletal muscles due to demyelination. Exogenous antioxidants mostly target inflammatory pathways and stimulate remyelinating mechanisms that seem to induce skeletal muscle regeneration. Therefore, the aim of this review is to describe recent evidence related to the molecular mechanisms in nerve and skeletal muscle regeneration induced by exogenous antioxidants. This will be relevant to identifying further targets to improve treatments of neuromuscular demyelinating diseases.

Reversible injury is a dynamic condition in tissues exposed to multiple harm situations including ischemia and post-ischemic recovery, in which the skeletal striated muscle tissue evidences histopathological characteristics to adapt to damage. During the inflammation and the regeneration phases of healing, the myocytes show morphological changes with an apparently complete recovery at the end of the treatment. Though the satellite cells play a key role in the recovery, not in all cases the regeneration is completely achieved. That is why in this research we measured the histopathological patterns evidenced by enzyme histochemistry and morphometric measurements, during the spontaneous recovery of skeletal muscle fibers underwent to short periods of ischemia of one and three hours and prolonged periods of reperfusion up to 32 days (768 hours). The selected muscles were the extensor carpi radialis longus and the soleus from Wistar rats.There were significant differences in the distribution of type of fibers, shape, size, leukocyte infiltration, necrosis and presence of central nuclei. The soleus muscle adapts better during early reperfusion than extensor carpi radialis longus does. Nevertheless, both muscles evidenced an incomplete recovery at day 32. The extrapolation of these findings suggests the importance of further following up of patients and the improvement of recovery the muscle function after surgery and/or other harm conditions.
