Representative partial section of muscle from uninjected mouse (B) and mouse injected with blocking antibodies (C) with scale bars?=?200? em /em m. spite of the reduction in neutrophil accumulation, we did not detect a decrease in damage 2?days after lengthening contractions. We conclude that P\ and/or E\selectin contribute to the neutrophil accumulation associated with contraction\induced muscle damage and that only a portion of the neutrophils that typically accumulate following injurious lengthening contractions is sufficient to induce muscle fiber damage and force deficits. Thus, therapeutic interventions based on blocking the selectins or other adhesion proteins will have to reduce neutrophil numbers by more than 50% in order to provide a benefit. lengthening contractions, since the intervention was designed to interfere with the inflammatory response that occurs subsequent to the initial injurious event. The specific time point of 1 1?h following the lengthening contractions was chosen to precede the bulk of neutrophil migration into injured muscle (Tidball and Villalta 2010) and allow for the completion of surgical procedures. Mice received either tandem injections of rat anti\mouse monoclonal antibodies specific for P\selectin (200? em /em g, A-889425 clone RB40.34; BD Pharmingen, San Diego, CA, 553741) and E\selectin (200? em /em g, clone 9A9, generously provided by Dr. Klaus Ley; La Jolla Institute for Allergy & Immunology) or a single injection of irrelevant isotype control antibodies (400? em /em g, A110\1; BD Pharmingen, 559157). Uninjected mice served as an additional control group. The blocking function of RB40.34 and 9A9 has been demonstrated in many studies in?vitro and in?vivo. In vitro, both antibodies prevent attachment of myeloid cells to their respective selectins (Bosse and Vestweber 1994; Ramos et?al. 1997). In vivo, RB40.34 alone or together with 9A9 prevents cytokine\induced leukocyte rolling along blood vessel walls, and both antibodies reduce chemically induced neutrophil migration into the peritoneal cavity (Bosse and Vestweber 1994; Kunkel et?al. 1997; Ramos et?al. 1997; Thorlacius et?al. 1997; Kanwar et?al. 1998; Eriksson 2008). RB40.34 was detected on platelets in the blood 3?h after a single intraperitoneal injection, and platelets with bound RB40.34 were detected up to 7?days after injection when a dose of 200? em /em g was administered (Phillips et?al. 2003). Therefore, this dose of RB40.34 and 9A9 was used in this study to provide blocking coverage over the time period studied. In vitro evaluation of contractile properties Two days following administration of the lengthening contraction protocols, mice were again evaluated for Po. This time point was chosen because preliminary experiments indicated that neutrophil content peaked in injured muscles 2?days after the contraction protocol used in this study and subsequently rapidly declined. Procedures for the in?vitro evaluation of EDL contractile properties have been previously published (Brooks and Faulkner 1988). Each mouse was anesthetized with an intraperitoneal injection of Avertin (tribromoethanol, 250?mg/kg) (chemical components from Sigma\Aldrich, St. Louis, MO). After the mouse was unresponsive to a tactile stimulus, the injured EDL muscle was isolated from the hind limb of the mouse. 5\0 silk suture was tied to the proximal and distal tendons of the muscle, and the muscle was placed into a chamber containing Krebs Mammalian Ringer solution composed of (in mmol/L): 137 NaCl, A-889425 5 KCl, 2 CaCl22H2O, 1 MgSO47H2O, 1 NaH2PO4, 24 NaHCO3, 11 glucose, 0.03 tubocurarine chloride (chemicals from Sigma\Aldrich). The solution was maintained at 25C and bubbled with 95% O2C5% CO2 to maintain a pH of 7.4. The proximal tendon was attached to a stationary object and the distal tendon was attached to a force transducer (BG\50; Kulite Semiconductor Products, Leonia, NJ). Muscle activation was accomplished by electric field stimulation via a high\power current stimulator (701C; Aurora Scientific) and parallel plate electrodes. A computer and custom\designed software\controlled stimulus pulses and collected and stored force data. Stimulus pulses of 0.2?msec in duration were used for all contractions. Stimulation current and the muscle length were adjusted in order to elicit maximum twitch force. A digital caliper was used to measure Lo. Muscles were held at Lo and tetanic contractions of 300?msec in duration were elicited with trains of pulses. The frequency of the pulses was increased until the force plateaued at Po, typically at frequencies from 150 to 200?Hz. The tetanic contractions were spaced 1?min apart to prevent fatigue. Optimal muscle fiber length (Lf) was determined as previously mentioned. Force deficit was defined as the difference between the Po measured immediately prior to lengthening contractions and the Po measured 2?days after lengthening contractions expressed as a percentage of the preinjury Po. Following.The force deficit was approximately 50% for muscles of both treated and control mice (Fig.?3). with P/E\selectin blocking antibodies reduced neutrophil content by about half in muscles subjected to lengthening contractions. In spite of the reduction in neutrophil build up, we did not detect a decrease in damage 2?days after lengthening contractions. We conclude that P\ and/or E\selectin contribute to the neutrophil build up associated with contraction\induced muscle mass damage and that only a portion of the neutrophils that typically accumulate following injurious lengthening contractions is sufficient to induce muscle mass fiber damage and push deficits. Thus, restorative interventions based on obstructing the selectins or additional adhesion proteins will have to reduce neutrophil figures by more than 50% in order to provide a benefit. lengthening contractions, since the treatment was designed to interfere with the inflammatory response that occurs subsequent to the initial injurious event.
