Abstract：
:To compare muscle fiber loss in young and old mdx mice, we have blocked regeneration in one leg with a high dose (18 Gy) of X-rays administered at two ages; 16 days, just prior to the onset of the myopathy, and 15 weeks, when the myopathy is considered to be quiescent. Mice were examined 4 days after irradiation to look for acute effects, or after 6 weeks to look for cumulative effects. Tibial length, muscle weight, muscle fiber size, fiber number and histological changes were recorded. Signs of acute damage to muscle fibers, leakage of Procion Orange dye into fibers and loss of creatine kinase from the fibers were also examined. Irradiation caused no acute or chronic damage to muscle fibers; on the contrary, in the youngest mdx mice, irradiation delayed the onset of the disease. However, in mdx but not in normal mice, there was a loss of muscle mass and fiber number in irradiated by comparison with the non-irradiated contra-lateral muscles. This loss, attributed to fiber necrosis in the absence of regeneration, was as great in animals irradiated at 15 weeks as in those irradiated at 16 days. Such persistence of muscle fiber necrosis contradicts the standard view of the mdx mouse and establishes it as a closer model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy than is generally appreciated.
