Resumen

Introduction: Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is characterized by skeletal fragility and muscle weakness. In this study we investigated the effects of soluble activin type IIB receptor (sActRIIB-mFc) on muscle mass and function in 2 distinct mouse models of OI: osteogenesis imperfecta murine (oim) and +/G610C. Methods: Wild-type (WT), +/G610C, and oim/oim mice were treated from 2 to 4 months of age with Tris-buffered saline (vehicle) or sActRIIB-mFc and their hindlimb muscles evaluated for mass, morphology, and contractile function. Results: sActRIIB-mFc-treated WT, +/G610C, and oim/oim mice had increased hindlimb muscle weights and myofiber cross-sectional area compared with vehicle-treated counterparts. sActRIIB-mFc-treated oim/oim mice also exhibited increased contractile function relative to vehicle-treated counterparts. Discussion: Blocking endogenous ActRIIB was effective at increasing muscle size in mouse models of OI, and increasing contractile function in oim/oim mice. ActRIIB inhibitors may provide a potential mutation-specific therapeutic option for compromised muscle function in OI. Muscle Nerve 57: 294–304, 2018.
