Cytokines are best known as mediators of host defense responses to infection and other environmental stresses. However, some of these proteins (interleukin-1 and tumor necrosis factor) may modulate clearance and repair processes in skeletal muscle following injury, and others (fibroblast growth factor and platelet-derived growth factor) may be involved with the sustained viability of muscle cells. Muscle repair and vitality also require neuronal contact (influenced by nerve growth factor and ciliary neurotrophic factor) as well as angiogenesis and connective tissue matrix formation (influenced by transforming growth factor (i). Successful muscle aging will depend in part on how well a muscle repairs itself after damage. This includes not only overt injury, but also the daily" wear and tear" that may not be perceived via pain or alterations in function. Age-related loss of muscle mass or function may be the cumulative result of repeated episodes of incomplete repair. Abnormal production or sensitivity to cytokines by aged cells may contribute to these changes in muscle mass and function.ASEQUENCE of stereotyped events occurs following injury. Immediate responses, taking place in the first minutes or hours following the trauma, can include hemostasis, generation of inflammatory stimuli, vasodilation, vasopermeability, and infiltration of neutrophils. Over a longer time frame (hours to days), macrophages infiltrate the damaged site and secrete peptide growth factors (most between 10-30 kDa) known as cytokines. The phagocytic capabilities of macrophages and the proteolytic activities of certain cytokines promote clearance of pathogens and damaged tissue. In addition, both in vitro and in vivo studies have shown that several cytokines have profound effects on the cellular proliferation, protein synthesis, angiogenesis, and neuronal remodeling required for tissue repair.(For additional information, a more detailed review of the influence of cytokines on muscle growth and function is available [Cannon, 1993]). This chapter will review the ability of cytokines to modulate repair processes and address the hypothesis that an altered ability of aged cells to either produce or respond to relevant cytokines leads to incomplete repair, and may contribute to age-associated declines in muscle mass or function. The influence of cytokines can be quite dramatic: a single intravenous dose of transforming growth factor-fi (TGF (i) can completely reverse age-associated impairment of wound healing (Beck et al., 1993).
