The skeletal muscle and the immune system are heavily affected by the space environment. The crosstalk between these organs, although established, is not fully understood. This study determined the nature of immune cell changes in the murine skeletal muscle following (hindlimb) unloading combined with an acute session of irradiation (HLUR). Our findings show that 14 days of HLUR induces a significant increase of myeloid immune cell infiltration in skeletal muscle.
骨骼肌和免疫系统受到太空环境的严重影响。这些器官之间的相互作用虽然已经确立,但尚未完全了解。本研究确定了小鼠骨骼肌在(后肢)卸载并结合急性辐照(HLUR)后免疫细胞变化的性质。我们的研究结果表明,14天的HLUR会导致骨骼肌中髓样免疫细胞浸润显著增加。
