Abstract:
Objective To investigate the regenerating effect of muscle satellite cells autografted onto mus-cles injured by chronic compartment syndrome (CCS). Methods Twenty-four adult rabbits were randomly divided into an experimental group (model-transplantation), a non-graft group (model) and a control group (transplanta-tion). The CCS model was established in the experimental and non-graft groups. Transplantation was done in the ex-perimental and control groups. Satellite cells from the experimental and control group rabbits were isolated and then proliferated in vitro. The specific protein was identified by immnochemistry before engrafting. Then the 4',6-diamidi-no-2-phenylindole-tagged satellite cells were transplanted back to the original soleus muscles. After transplantation,the proliferation and differentiation of the satellite cells in vivo was observed and morphological changes at the site of the injury were compared by HE staining. Results At the 28th day after grafting, the satellite cells from the com-pressed soleus muscles in the experimental group had increased significantly, whereas those in the control group had remained the same. In both the graft group and the non-graft group, HE staining showed a large cluster of myofibers and interstitial fibers necrosed in the compressed muscle, while the skeletal muscle fibers and interstitial fibers were in-tact in the control group. At the 28th day after engrafting, the engrafted muscle showed much repair; but the non-en-grafted muscle demonstrated dominant fibrosis. The morphology of the skeletal muscle in the control group was normal.Conclusions Autografting of muscle satellite cells after a small amount of expansion in vitro could improve their regen-eration efficiency for repairing a large cluster of damaged myofibers caused by chronic compartment syndrome.
