目的探讨下肢制动后交感神经活性的改变及其参与调控骨骼肌废用性萎缩的作用。
方法实验分3部分:①选取8周龄C57雄性小鼠12只,随机分为空白对照组和后肢固定组( n=6):空白对照组小鼠不作干预,后肢固定组小鼠采用夹板固定双后肢2周,通过行为学、病理及分子水平等完成肌骨多维度表征。②选取8周龄C57雄性小鼠36只,随机分为空白对照组及后肢固定1、3、5、7、14 d组( n=6):空白对照组小鼠不作干预,正常饲养至14 d,后肢固定1、3、5、7、14 d组小鼠分别于夹板固定双后肢后1、3、5、7、14 d取材。检测血清中去甲肾上腺素(NE)水平及下丘脑室旁核(PVN)中交感神经活性标志物酪氨酸羟化酶(TH)的表达水平,观察交感神经活性是否发生可塑性改变。③选取8周龄C57雄性小鼠18只,随机分为空白对照组、后肢固定组、后肢固定给药组( n=6):空白对照组小鼠不作干预,后两组小鼠用夹板固定双后肢后分别给予连续2周的腹腔注射磷酸盐缓冲液和普萘洛尔盐酸盐溶液,比较3组小鼠的骨骼肌相关参数等。
结果①与空白对照组比较,后肢固定组小鼠的骨骼肌质量及功能显著下降,差异均有统计学意义( P<0.05)。②后肢固定1、3、5、7、14 d组小鼠血清NE水平[(3.27±1.03)、(9.21±1.05)、(6.36±0.88)、(3.84±1.00)、(3.91±0.75)ng/mL]和PVN中TH +细胞占比(42.00%±5.38%、61.67%±5.57%、55.82%±3.11%、50.90%±2.53%、39.17%±9.07%)均显著高于空白对照组小鼠[(1.81±0.72)ng/mL、23.33%±5.50%],差异均有统计学意义( P<0.05)。③后肢固定给药组小鼠腓肠肌湿重[(93.50±4.32)mg]、胫骨前肌肌纤维横截面积[(1 180.00±95.09)μm 2]较后肢固定组小鼠增加[(80.83±9.99) mg、(907.80±121.00) μm 2],差异均有统计学意义( P<0.05)。
结论小鼠后肢固定后骨骼肌废用性萎缩模型中,发生交感神经系统过度激活,抑制交感神经活性可减轻下肢骨骼肌萎缩的程度。
ObjectiveTo investigate the changes in sympathetic nerve activity after lower limb immobilization and the role of sympathetic nerve in regulating disuse atrophy of skeletal muscles.
MethodsThe experiment was divided into the following 3 parts: ① Twelve 8-week-old male C57 mice were randomly divided into a blank control group and a hind limb fixation group ( n=6). The blank control group received no intervention while the hind limb fixation group received splint fixation of the hind limbs for 2 weeks before the musculoskeletal multi-dimensional characterization was completed at the behavioral, pathological and molecular levels. ② Thirty-six 8-week-old male C57 mice were selected and randomly divided into a control group and 5 hind limb fixation groups (for 1, 3, 5, 7 and 14 days) ( n=6). The control group was fed normally until 14 days without any intervention while the 5 hind limb fixation groups were sampled after fixation for 1, 3, 5, 7 and 14 days, respectively. The level of norepinephrine in the serum and the expression level of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), a marker of sympathetic nerve activity in the paraventricular nucleus of hypothalamus (PVN), were detected to observe the plasticity of sympathetic nerve activity. ③ Eighteen 8-week-old male C57 mice were selected and randomly divided into a blank control group, a hind limb fixation group and a hind limb fixation plus medication group ( n=6). The blank control group received no intervention while the 2 fixation groups were injected with phosphate buffer (PBS) and propranolol hydrochloride solution for 2 consecutive weeks, respectively. The parameters related to the skeletal muscles were compared between the 3 groups.
Results① Compared with the control group, the mass and function of skeletal muscles in the hind limb fixation group were statistically significantly decreased ( P<0.05). ② The levels of serum norepinephrine [(3.27±1.03) ng/mL, (9.21±1.05) ng/mL, (6.36±0.88) ng/mL, (3.84±1.00) ng/mL, and (3.91±0.75) ng/mL] and the PVN TH levels (42.00%±5.38%, 61.67%±5.57%, 55.82%±3.11%, 50.90%±2.53%, and 39.17%±9.07%) in the 5 hind limb fixation groups (for 1, 3, 5, 7 and 14 days) were significantly higher than those in the control group [(1.81±0.72)] ng/mL and 23.33%±5.50%] ( P<0.05). ③ The wet weight of the gastrocnemius muscle [(93.50±4.32) mg] and the cross-section area of the tibial anterior muscle [(1,180.00±95.09) μm 2] in the hind limb fixation plus medication group were increased significantly compared with those in the hind limb fixation group [(80.83±9.99) mg and (907.80±121.00) μm 2] ( P<0.05).
ConclusionsOveractivation of the sympathetic nervous system occurs in the mice model of skeletal muscle disuse atrophy after hind limb fixation. Inhibition of sympathetic nerve activity may reduce the severity of skeletal muscle atrophy at the lower limbs.
