Description
An account of the resource
Muscle spindles form de novo in reinnervated muscles of neonatal rats treated with nerve growth factor. Whether the spindles can also form in muscle reinnervated only by afferents was investigated by removing the lumbosacral segment of the spinal cord immediately after crushing the nerve to the medial gastrocnemius muscle at birth, and administering nerve growth factor for 10 days afterwards. As predicted, the medial gastrocnemius muscles were reinnervated by afferents, but not efferents. No motor endplates were visible on any muscle fibers, and extrafusal fibers were atrophied. The reinnervated muscles contained spindle-like encapsulations of one to four fibers at 5, 7, 9 and 30 days after the nerve crush. The number of spindles as well as encapsulated fibers exceeded that of normal medial gastrocnemius muscles. The encapsulated fibers resembled typical intrafusal fibers. They had normal sensory-muscle contacts, but no motor endings. The fibers displayed equatorial clusters of myonuclei and expressed the spindle-specific slow-tonic myosin heavy chain isoform at postnatal day 30. Thus, efferents are not essential for the formation and differentiation of muscle spindles in reinnervated muscles of neonatal rats.
