ABSTRACT
Restoration of blood flow in skeletal muscle after a prolonged period of ischemia induces muscular ischemia-reperfusion injury, leading to local injury/dysfunction in muscles followed by systemic inflammatory responses. However, preventive/curative agents for skeletal muscle ischemia injury are unavailable in clinics to date. Increasing evidence has validated that carbon monoxide (CO) prevents the progression of ischemia-reperfusion injury in various organs owing to its versatile bioactivity. Previously, we developed a bioinspired CO donor, CO-bound red blood cells (CO-RBC), which mimics the dynamics of RBC-associated CO in the body. In the present study, we have tested the therapeutic potential of CO-RBC in muscular injury/dysfunction and secondary systemic inflammation induced by skeletal muscle ischemia-reperfusion. The results indicate that CO-RBC rather than RBC alone suppressed elevation of plasma creatine phosphokinase, a marker of muscular injury, in rats subjected to both hind limbs ischemia-reperfusion. In addition, the results of the treadmill walking test revealed a significantly decreased muscular motor function in RBC-treated rats subjected to both hind limbs ischemia-reperfusion than that in healthy rats, however, CO-RBC treatment facilitated sustained muscular motor functions after hind limbs ischemia-reperfusion. Furthermore, CO-RBC rather than RBC suppressed the production of tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-6, which were upregulated by muscular ischemia-reperfusion. Interestingly, CO-RBC treatment induced higher levels of IL-10 compared to saline or RBC treatments. Based on these findings, we suggest that CO-RBC exhibits a suppressive effect against skeletal muscle injury/dysfunction and systemic inflammatory responses after skeletal muscle ischemia-reperfusion.
