Therefore, development of a drug-based treatment that can be used in combination with current tissue engineering and regenerative rehabilitation programs to improve regenerative capacity and facilitate functional recovery would be invaluable. In contrast to other targets of tissue engineering, however, a breakthrough drug or bioactive factor has yet to be established that adequately promotes repair and regeneration of severe VML injuries.

The conversion of mechanical stimuli to biochemical and biomechanical signals via a series of mechanotransduction pathways is vital to directing satellite cell activation, muscle fiber hypertrophy, and extracellular matrix structure. The engineered grafts are then combined with rehabilitation regimens to introduce proper mechanical stimuli to the regenerating environment. Tissue engineering aims to overcome limited availability by combining more readily available biomaterial scaffolds, most often in the form of decellularized or polymeric matrices, with specific cell populations and bioactive cues to generate readily available tissue grafts. Promising experimental platforms, such as minced muscle graft transplantation, improve muscle function and fiber regeneration, but have been unable to fully mitigate the pathological response and suffer from finite availability. To date, the clinical standard of care remains surgical placement of muscle flaps followed by extensive rehabilitation. The loss of progenitor cells and native extracellular matrix combine with an unrelenting immune response that promotes formation of nonfunctional fibrous tissue and severely inhibits de novo fiber regeneration. In cases of volumetric muscle loss (VML), however, wherein extensive portions of muscle tissue are lost, this healing cycle breaks down. Skeletal muscle possesses a robust capacity to recover from injury, stemming from a population of resident progenitor cells who ultimately activate and fuse to repair damaged myofibers. Additional studies are needed to further elucidate cellular responses, optimize therapeutic delivery, and characterize synergistic potential with adjunct therapies. These results highlight the potential role of selective retinoic acid receptor-γ agonists in the design of regenerative medicine platforms to maximize skeletal muscle healing. Additionally, preliminary histological assessment suggests that oral administration of palovarotene reduced fibrous scarring at the defect site. Treatment with the selective retinoic acid receptor-γ agonist, palovarotene, resulted in a 38% improvement of peak isometric torque in volumetric muscle loss affected limbs after 4 weeks of healing compared to untreated controls. Histological staining was performed to qualitatively assess fibrous scarring of the defect site. Functional recovery of the tibialis anterior muscle was assessed in vivo via neural stimulation and determination of peak isometric torque.

MethodsĪn irrecoverable, full thickness defect was created in the tibialis anterior muscle of Lewis rats and animals were survived for 4 weeks. This study sought to assess the ability of an orally administered selective retinoic acid receptor-γ agonist, palovarotene, to improve recovery of neuromuscular strength in a rat model of volumetric muscle loss.
Furthermore, a breakthrough drug or bioactive factor has yet to be established that adequately improves repair of these severe skeletal muscle injuries. Volumetric muscle loss is a uniquely challenging pathology that results in irrecoverable functional deficits.
