Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor-Induced Macrophage Differentiation Influences Myotube Elongation

Background: Unaccustomed exercise, high-intensity dynamic sports activities, or the resumption of normal weight-bearing after a period of disuse can induce skeletal muscle injury, which activates an inflammatory response followed by muscle regeneration. Specific subsets of macrophages are involved in muscle regeneration. But the exact role of macrophage differentiation during muscle regeneration remains to be elucidated. Objective: The objective of the study was to examine the effect of macrophage colony stimulating factor (M-CSF)-differentiated, lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-stimulated-macrophage-conditioned medium on muscle-cell proliferation, fusion, and elongation, which are key events during muscle regeneration and myogenesis. Method: Murine C2C12 myoblasts were cultured in conditioned medium obtained from PU5-1R macrophages that were (a) undifferentiated, unstimulated; (b) M-CSF-differentiated, unstimulated; (c) undifferentiated, LPS-stimulated; or (d) M-CSF-differentiated, LPS-stimulated. Myoblast proliferation ratio, nuclei number, and length were measured. Results: C2C12 cells cultured in conditioned medium from M-CSF-differentiated, LPS-stimulated macrophages had significantly more nuclei and greater length than cells cultured in conditioned medium from undifferentiated, LPS-stimulated macrophages. Dilution and denaturization of the M-CSF-differentiated, LPS-stimulated-macrophage medium prevented a marked increase in C2C12 nuclei number and length. However, the C2C12 myoblast proliferation ratio was significantly greater in conditioned medium from undifferentiated, LPS-stimulated macrophages than in conditioned medium from M-CSF-differentiated, LPS-stimulated macrophages. Conclusions: M-CSF-differentiated, LPS-stimulated macrophages may influence myogenesis and the early and terminal stages of muscle regeneration. This knowledge may aid in developing therapies that will directly expedite muscle repair and lead to faster rehabilitation and reduced rehabilitation costs.
