Study Notes
Skeletal Muscle Injury Repair
-
Process of Repair After Muscle Strain or Contusion
- Hemostasis initiates injury response, followed by hematoma formation.
-
Degeneration Phase
- Necrosis occurs, with neutrophils as the first responders to the injury site.
- Chemotactic agents are released to attract inflammatory mediators.
-
Inflammation Phase
- Starts within 24-48 hours post-injury.
- Phagocytosis occurs to clear cellular debris.
- Macrophages stimulate satellite cells to:
- Migrate to injury site.
- Differentiate into necessary cells.
- Release various cytokines aiding the healing process.
- T-lymphocytes take over as macrophages diminish, releasing additional cytokines.
-
Regeneration Phase
- Takes place approximately 6-8 weeks after injury.
- Remodeling occurs following regeneration to restore muscle structure.
-
Fibrosis Potential
- May develop as a result of injury, leading to less functional muscle.
Role of Basement Membrane in Muscle Healing
- The basement membrane's integrity is crucial for successful regeneration.
- Satellite cells rely on the basement membrane to:
- Divide and maintain structural support.
- Combine with other myogenic cells for repair.
- Fuse with remaining muscle fibers to restore function.
- Damage to the basement membrane results in fibrosis, which:
- Compromises structural integrity of muscle.
- Reduces functional capacity.
- Increases likelihood of subsequent re-injury.
- Satellite cells rely on the basement membrane to:
Effects of Cytokines on Satellite Cells and Muscle Cells During Repair
- Cytokines play critical roles in muscle cell repair, including:
- Enhancing resistance to oxidative stress, promoting cell survival.
- Blocking myofibrogenesis to facilitate improved muscle healing.
- Stimulating proliferation, leading to cell division.
- Inducing differentiation, allowing cells to fuse with existing myofibers.
- Promoting angiogenesis to ensure adequate vascular supply to new muscle cells.
