[The number of circulating fibrocytes of skeletal muscle in rats after contusion].
Fa Yi Xue za Zhi 2012 Februrary
OBJECTION: To investigate the time-dependent appearance of circulating fibrocytes of skeletal muscle in rats after contusion.
METHODS: The model of skeletal muscle wound was established in rat. The circulating fibrocytes in contused skeletal muscle were detected by CD45 and procollagen I double immunofluorescence staining method.
RESULTS: In the control group, CD45- and procollagen I-positive cells were not detected in skeletal muscle. A few CD45 cells were observed aged from 6 h to 1 d after contusion. A few CD45- and procollagen I-positive cells (fibrocytes) initially gathered in injury area 3d after injury. The ratio of positive fibrocytes significantly increased 5 d after injury. The ratio of fibrocytes was highest at 7 d after contusion and then decreased. The volume of fibrocytes showed bigger with injury time increase compared with 3 d group. The expression of procollagen I and CD45 were weakened at 14d after injury.
CONCLUSION: The circulating fibrocytes are detected in contused skeletal muscle in time-dependent pattern. Circulating fibrocytes may be a marker in the wound age determination for contused skeletal muscle.
