Objectives/Hypothesis: To determine whether the myotrophic activity of human insulin-like growth factor (hIGF)-1 promotes restoration of normal myosin heavy chain (MHC) composition after nerve injury, MHC composition was analyzed after hIGF-1 gene transfer in denervated rat laryngeal muscle. Study Design: Animal model to study effects of gene transfer on laryngeal paralysis. Methods: In anesthetized rats, the left recurrent and superior laryngeal nerves are cut and suture ligated. A midline thyrotomy is performed, and the thyroarytenoid muscle is injected with a polyvinyl-based formulation containing a muscle specific expression system and hIGF-1 DNA (treatment group) or saline (control group). After 30 days, animals were killed, and the thyroarytenoid muscle was removed and processed for sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Densitometric measurements were obtained to determine composition of MHCs. Results: As previously described, MHC composition in denervated laryngeal muscle was characterized by a decrease in type IIB and IIL, and up-regulation of ILA/IIX. Compared with controls, hIGF-1 treated animals demonstrated a significant increase in expression of type IIB and IIL and a significant decrease in expression of type IIA/X. Conclusions: These findings suggest that the myotrophic effect of hIGF-1 gene transfer results in normalization of MHC composition in denervated muscle, with suppression of type IIA/X MHC and promotion of type III, expression.
