摘要:

目的 探究骨骼肌E2信号对Cardiotoxin (CTX)诱导的小鼠急性损伤骨骼肌内巨噬细胞胞葬作用的影响。 方法 选择野生 C57BL/6雌鼠150只、C57BL/6雄鼠33只,对一部分雌鼠进行卵巢去势(OVX)操作。CTX胫骨前肌注射诱导小鼠急性肌损伤,后给予β-雌二醇(β-Estradiol)、4-他莫昔芬(4-OHT)等试剂肌注,分为Control(Female)组、Male组、Control+β-Estradiol组、Control+4-OHT组、OVX组、OVX+β-Estradiol组。采用ELISA法比较各组小鼠损伤肌内血清中E2表达。采用免疫荧光、流式细胞术等方法比较损伤肌内炎性渗出巨噬细胞数量、表型、胞葬作用与肌再生修复的差异。紫外照射法体外诱导细胞凋亡。体外分化培养C2C12细胞,分化为成熟肌管后,将之于炎性环境中与巨噬细胞、凋亡细胞共培养,且给予β-Estradiol、4-OHT等处理,主要分为Control(C2C12+HS+Mac+ACs)组、C2C12+HS+IFN-γ+Mac+ACs组、C2C12+HS+IFN-γ+β-Estradiol+Mac+ACs组、C2C12+HS+IFN-γ+4-OHT+Mac+ACs组、C2C12+HS+IFN-γ+β-Estradiol+4-OHT+Mac+ACs组。采用免疫荧光、流式细胞术等方法比较各组巨噬细胞胞葬作用的差异。 结果 较之于Control组,OVX鼠损伤肌内炎性单核巨噬细胞渗出增加,M1细胞比例增加(P<0.05),但M2细胞比例、胞葬作用下调(P<0.05),肌纤维再生修复延迟。体外炎性环境中,β-Estradiol共培养体系中的M2巨噬细胞数目、巨噬细胞胞葬较之于Control组均上调(P<0.05),而4-OHT组的趋势则相反(P<0.05)。 结论 骨骼肌纤维E2信号通过促使损伤肌内M1向M2的转变,以促进损伤肌内巨噬细胞胞葬作用,继而促进炎症撤退与肌再生修复。

Abstract:

Objective To investigate the effect of E2 signaling in myofibers on muscular macrophage efferocytosis in mice with cardiotoxin-induced acute skeletal muscle injury. Methods Female wild-type C57BL/6 mice with and without ovariectomy and male C57BL/6 mice were given a CTX injection into the anterior tibial muscle to induce acute muscle injury, followed by intramuscular injection of β-estradiol (E2) or 4-hydroxytamoxifen (4-OHT). The changes in serum E2 of the mice were detected using ELISA, and the number, phenotypes, and efferocytosis of the macrophages in the inflammatory exudates and myofiber regeneration and repair were evaluated using immunofluorescence staining and flow cytometry. C2C12 cells were induced to differentiate into mature myotubes, which were treated with IFN-γ for 24 before treatment with β-Estradiol or 4-OHT. The treated myotubes were co-cultured with mouse peritoneal macrophages in a 1:2 ratio, followed by addition of PKH67-labeled apoptotic mouse mononuclear spleen cells induced by UV irradiation, and macrophage efferocytosis was observed using immunofluorescence staining and flow cytometry. Results Compared with the control mice, the female mice with ovariectomy showed significantly increased mononuclear macrophages in the inflammatory exudates, with increased M1 cell percentage, reduced M2 cell percentage and macrophage efferocytosis in the injured muscle, and obviously delayed myofiber regeneration and repair. In the cell co-culture systems, treatment of the myotubes with β-estradiol significantly increased the number and proportion of M2 macrophages and macrophage efferocytosis, while 4-OHT treatment resulted in the opposite changes. Conclusion In injured mouse skeletal muscles, myofiber E2 signaling promotes M1 to M2 transition to increase macrophage efferocytosis, thereby relieving inflammation and promoting muscle regeneration and repair.
