Description

<p> The alteration in microRNA-210 level, a hypoxia-inducible microRNA, is not well known in non-ischemic tissue injury. In this study, we characterized the histopathological time course of acetic acid-induced skeletal muscle injury as a non-ischemic tissue injury model and investigated the expression of microRNA-210, hypoxia-inducible factor 1α, and growth factors using quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis. After a single intramuscular dose of 3% (v/v) acetic acid to C57BL/6J mice, focal coagulative necrosis of muscle fibers was noted from 3 h after dosing and infiltration of F4/80 and Galectin-3 positive M2 macrophage was noted at 1 d after dosing. Muscular regeneration was initiated from 3 d, when M2 macrophage infiltration was most prominent, till 14 d after dosing. Hif1α and Hgf expression increased from 3 h onwards, and microRNA-210 level increased after 3 d after the treatment. However, no clear elevation in the levels of Igf1 or Vegf was observed. The infiltrative macrophages and regenerative muscle fibers were positive for hypoxia-inducible factor 1α, microRNA-210, and hepatocyte growth factor as assessed by immunohistochemistry or in situ hybridization. In this study, dominant infiltration of M2 macrophages at muscular necrosis and subsequent regeneration after a single intramuscular injection of acetic acid in mice were observed. The increase in hif1α level was observed just after the muscular injury in this non-ischemic tissue injury model, and the elevation in microRNA-210 level was noted at the initiation of tissue regeneration, indicating its effects on tissue protection and repair.</p>
