Skeletal Muscle Regeneration in the Mouse: Methods and Protocols: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Skeletal Muscle Regeneration in the Mouse: Methods and Protocols" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This volume focuses on the cell biology and physiology of skeletal muscle regeneration. This Book is a collection of classic and cutting edge protocols optimized for mice, but in most cases adaptable to rat or other mammalian models, that will allow an investigator to develop and implement a research study on skeletal muscle regeneration. Chapters address the three major areas of study: provoking regeneration by inducing damage to muscle, analyzing the progenitor cells of skeletal muscle, and quantifying overall muscle function. Subjects discussed include: inducing skeletal muscle injury by eccentric contraction; volumetric muscle loss; single myofiber isolation and culture; satellite cell transplantation; muscle clearing for whole mount immunostaining; luciferase tracking of muscle stem cells; mitochondrial and mitophagy flux analysis; in vivo assessment of muscle contractility; force measurements on single isolated myofibers; and analysis of aerobic respiration in intact skeletal muscle tissue by microplate respirometry. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to each respective topic, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
Cutting edge and practical, Skeletal Muscle Regeneration in the Mouse: Methods and Protocols is an essential laboratory reference for research in skeletal muscle growth, damage, repair, degeneration, and regenerative therapy in the mouse model system.

Abstract
In order to investigate the molecular and cellular mechanisms of muscle regeneration an experimental injury model is required. Advantages of eccentric contraction-induced injury are that it is a controllable, reproducible, and physiologically relevant model to cause muscle injury, with injury being defined as a loss of force generating capacity. While eccentric contractions can be incorporated into conscious animal study designs such as downhill treadmill running, electrophysiological approaches to elicit eccentric contractions and examine muscle contractility, for example before and after the injurious eccentric contractions, allows researchers to circumvent common issues in determining muscle function in a conscious animal (e.g., unwillingness to participate). Herein, we describe in vitro and in vivo methods that are reliable, repeatable, and truly maximal because the muscle contractions are evoked in a controlled, quantifiable manner independent of subject motivation. Both methods can be used to initiate eccentric contraction-induced injury and are suitable for monitoring functional muscle regeneration hours to days to weeks post-injury.
Key words
Force drop Lengthening contraction Muscle damage
Introduction
Eccentric contractions are contractions in which the external load or resistance placed on an activated muscle is greater than the force generated by that muscle, and subsequently the muscle is lengthened while it is active. There is an immediate loss of strength following the performance of eccentric contractions that is attributed to disruption of the excitationcontraction coupling process and/or frank damage to force-generating or -transmitting structures within the muscle []. The extent of the strength loss can vary depending on age and disease of the subject. For example, acute strength loss can be as high as 50% in muscles of healthy C57Bl mice, but in excess of 75% in an mdx mouse (model for Duchenne muscular dystrophy).
In vitro and in vivo methods are ideal for executing the eccentric contraction-induced injury model because the severity of muscle injury can be monitored in real time and controlled precisely by altering the number of eccentric contractions performed, the distance the muscle is lengthened, and/or the velocity at which the lengthening occurs. Additionally, these methods provide a level of consistency as far as injury at the fiber level because all motor units are activated which is in sharp contrast to fully conscious experimental models, e.g., downhill treadmill running.
1.1 In Vitro Eccentric Contractions
Live, isolated muscle preparations are utilized to assess contractile capacity of those organs. Small muscles of mice, such as the soleus and extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles, are suitable and most commonly used because oxygen diffusion to fibers in the core of muscle is adequate [], a host of contractile tests can be performed. The in vitro section of this chapter will focus on eccentric contractions by isolated muscles and the consequent contraction-induced injury. In the muscular dystrophy field, the term force drop is becoming common. This term is used to describe the outcome of eccentric contraction testing in EDL muscle lacking dystrophin as these muscles are highly susceptible to injury, as measured by the loss of force-generating capacity during and immediately following eccentric contractions. Before detailing methods for an in vitro eccentric contraction-injury protocol, a description of EDL muscle dissection is presented in this chapter because careful dissection is important in order to study contraction-induced injury to the muscle as opposed to dissection-induced injury.
1.2 In Vivo Eccentric Contractions
We have developed a modified in vivo muscle testing apparatus and protocol based on the original in vivo system reported by Ashton-Miller et al. []. Briefly, peak isometric contractility of either the ankle dorsi-flexors (tibialis anterior, extensor digitorum longus, extensor hallicus longus muscles) or plantar-flexors (gastrocnemius, soleus, plantaris muscles) in anesthetized mice is determined using percutaneous electrodes to stimulate specific nerves innervating those muscle groups and specialized equipment to record the contractile output. Then an eccentric contraction-induced injury protocol is performed to cause muscle injury as immediately measurable by decrements in torque. Below we detail our eccentric contraction-induced injury model including internal controls and expected outcomes for healthy C57Bl6 mice and some examples from dystrophic mdx mice. Finally, a real advantage of the relatively noninvasive muscle analysis in vivo is that muscle contractile function can be measured repeatedly which can be ideal for monitoring ongoing muscle regeneration. Accordingly, we also briefly describe the recovery of muscle strength after eccentric contraction-induced injury.
