Growth factors improve muscle healing in vivo

Abstract: Injury to muscles is very common. We have previously observed that basic fibroblast growth factor (b-FGF), insulin growth factor type 1 (IGF-1) and nerve growth factor (NGF) are potent stimulators of the proliferation and fusion of myoblasts in vitro. We therefore injected these growth factors into mice with lacerations of the gastrocnemius muscle. The muscle regeneration was evaluated at one week by histological staining and quantitative histology. Muscle healing was assessed histologically and the contractil… Show more

“…Both IGF-1 and -2 are induced by muscle injury (51), and these factors can stimulate the proliferation and differentiation of myoblasts (11,52). The administration of IGF-1 will promote the regeneration of injured muscle (53)(54)(55). IGF-1 will also promote myofiber hypertrophy, and transgenic mice that overexpress this growth factor exhibit increased muscle mass (56 -58).…”

“…In vitro studies have shown the ability of IGF-1 to promote the proliferation of satellite cells and to alter the expression of myogenic factors (Charge and Rudnicki 2004;Chakravarthy et al 2001;Hsu et al 1997;Philippou et al 2007). In vivo systemic injection of IGF-1 results in skeletal muscle hypertrophy, whereas direct injection of IGF-1 into muscle enhances muscle regeneration (Hsu et al 1997;Kasemkijwattana et al 1998;Menetrey et al 2000;Sato et al 2003). HGF is the primary regulator of satellite cell proliferation, with HGF expression increasing in proportion to the degree of injury Tatsumi 2010;Tatsumi et al 2002).…”

“…They can occur through a variety of mechanisms, ranging from direct mechanical deformation (such as muscle laceration, strain, and contusion) to indirect damage related to ischemia and neurologic dysfunction [1][2]. Although muscle tissue can regenerate after injury, the process tends to be slow, often resulting in functional and structural muscle atrophy, contracture, pain, and reinjury [3][4].…”
