Although the mechanisms underlying age associated muscle
loss are not entirely understood, researchers attempted
to moderate the loss by increasing the regenerative
capacity of muscle. This involved the injection of a
recombinant adeno-associated virus directing
overexpression of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I)
in differentiated muscle fibers.
They demonstrated that the IGF-I expression
promotes an average increase of 15% in muscle mass and a
14% increase in strength in young adult mice (Figure 1),
and remarkably, prevents aging-related muscle changes in
old adult mice, resulting in a 27% increase in strength
as compared with uninjected old muscles (Figure 2).
Muscle mass and fiber type distributions were maintained
at levels similar to those in young adults. These
results suggest that gene transfer of IGF-I into muscle
could form the basis of a human gene therapy for
preventing the loss of muscle function associated with
aging and may be of benefit in diseases where the rate
of damage to skeletal muscle is accelerated.
