Angiopoietin-1 enhances skeletal muscle regeneration in mice.
Activation of muscle progenitor cell myogenesis and endothelial cell angiogenesis is critical for the recovery of skeletal muscle from injury. Angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1), a ligand of Tie-2 receptors, enhances angiogenesis and skeletal muscle satellite cell survival; however, its role in skeletal muscle regeneration after injury is unknown. We assessed the effects of Ang-1 on fiber regeneration, myo...
متن کاملCOMP-angiopoietin-1 enhances skeletal muscle blood flow and insulin sensitivity in mice.
To test whether chronic enhanced blood flow alters insulin-stimulated glucose uptake, we measured skeletal muscle glucose uptake in chow-fed and high-fat-fed mice injected with adenovirus containing modified angiopoietin-1, COMP-Ang1, via euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp. Blood flow rates and platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 positive endothelial cells in the hindlimb skeletal musc...
متن کاملMice deficient in plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 have improved skeletal muscle regeneration.
Skeletal muscle possesses a remarkable capacity for regeneration. Although the regulation of this process at the molecular level remains largely undefined, the plasminogen system appears to play a critical role. Specifically, mice deficient in either urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA-/- mice) or plasminogen demonstrate markedly impaired muscle regeneration after injury. In the present s...
متن کاملThe urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor is not required for skeletal muscle inflammation or regeneration.
The hypothesis of this study was the urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) is required for accumulation of inflammatory cells in injured skeletal muscle and for efficient muscle regeneration. Expression of uPAR was elevated at 1 and 3 days after cardiotoxin-induced muscle injury in wild-type mice before returning to baseline levels. Neutrophil accumulation peaked 1 day postinjury...
متن کاملUrsolic acid induces myoglobin expression and skeletal muscle remodeling in mice
Introduction: Ursolic Acid (UA) is a lipophilic triterpenoid compound, found in large amounts in apple peel. Anabolic effects of UA on the skeletal muscle and the role of this tissue as a key regulator of systematic aging aroused this question in mind whether UA might amend skeletal muscle performances such as myoglobin expression and also whether it switches skeletal muscle fibers from glyc...
