Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) was originally discovered in the context of hematopoiesis. However, the identification of the G-CSF receptor (G-CSFR) being expressed outside the hematopoietic system has revealed wider roles for G-CSF, particularly in tissue repair and regeneration. Skeletal muscle damage, including that following strenuous exercise, induces an elevation in plasma G-CSF, implicating it as a potential mediator of skeletal muscle repair. This has been supported by preclinical studies and clinical trials investigating G-CSF as a potential therapeutic agent in relevant disease states. This review focuses on the growing literature associated with G-CSF and G-CSFR in skeletal muscle under healthy and disease conditions and highlights the current controversies.
粒细胞集落刺激因子(G-CSF)最初是在造血过程中发现的。然而,G-CSF 受体(G-CSFR)在造血系统之外的表达的鉴定揭示了 G-CSF 的更广泛作用,特别是在组织修复和再生中。包括剧烈运动后在内的骨骼肌损伤会导致血浆 G-CSF 升高,这表明它可能是骨骼肌修复的潜在介质。这一观点得到了临床前研究和临床试验的支持,这些研究将 G-CSF 作为相关疾病状态下的一种潜在治疗药物进行了研究。本文综述了与健康和疾病状态下骨骼肌中的 G-CSF 和 G-CSFR 相关的不断增长的文献,并强调了当前的争议。
