stimulated single fiber electromyography (sfemg) for assessing neuromuscular junction transmission in rodent models

Single fiber electromyography (SFEMG) was initially developed by St&#229;lberg and Ekstedt in the 1960s to identify and analyze action potentials from individual muscle fibers, primarily to study muscle fatigue1. SFEMG is the most sensitive clinical technique for the assessment of neuromuscular junction (NMJ) transmission2. SFEMG is conducted by selectively recording single fiber action potentials (SFAPs)3. NMJ transmission can be compromised due to factors like aging4,5 and various neuromuscular disorders such as myasthenia gravis and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis6. Furthermore, conditions such as ischemia, fluctuations in temperature, and the use of neuromuscular blocking agents can result in deficiencies in NMJ transmission, manifested by increased NMJ transmission variability and occurrences of NMJ failure2.
There are two approaches to recording SFEMG: stimulated and voluntary SFEMG. Voluntary SFEMG involves recording SFAPs from two NMJs supplied by the same motor axon using a concentric needle electrode inserted into the muscle being tested during voluntary activation7. Accordingly, voluntary SFEMG requires cooperation from the subject and can only assess low-threshold motor units (those activated during weak contractions)3. Stimulated SFEMG uses a pair of stimulating electrodes to stimulate motor axons while recording SFAPs with an SFEMG needle electrode inserted into the muscle being tested7.
In both voluntary and stimulated SFEMG, jitter and blocking are the two parameters used to assess and quantify NMJ transmission8. Jitter describes the variability in timing (latency) between consecutive SFAPs. During voluntary SFEMG, jitter is quantified by assessing the latency differences between a pair of SFAPs (supplied by the same motor axon) during 50 to 100 consecutive discharges. During stimulated SFEMG, jitter is quantified by assessing the latency differences between the stimulation timing and the onset of the SFAP during 50 to 100 consecutive discharges. Blocking indicates failure of NMJ transmission to trigger an SFAP response, and it can be quantified as the presence or absence of each pair of SFAPs during voluntary SFEMG or for each NMJ during stimulated SFEMG2,7.
While an established and sensitive test in the clinical setting, SFEMG has only been infrequently applied in preclinical research4,5,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18. In this report, we outline the approach to performing and analyzing SFEMG recordings in preclinical rodent models. Furthermore, we present representative data that highlights representative findings on SFEMG that indicate impairment of NMJ transmission following administration of a non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent, rocuronium.

설치류 모델에서 신경근 접합 전달을 평가하기 위한 자극 단일 섬유 근전도(SFEMG)

In this report, we present a stepwise approach to stimulate single fiber EMG in rodents. Additionally, in a rat model of brocorion-induced neurovascular junction transmission failure, we demonstrate the all or non appearance of single fiber action potentials and provide representative examples of increased jitter and blocking. Single fiber EMG is a well established clinical diagnostic test, but its application in preclinical studies is limited.Our protocol bridges this gap by clearly outlining the procedural steps for qualifying jitter and blocking to characterize rodent models of aging in a neuromuscular disease. Our lab focuses on translational neuromuscular physiology in the context of health, aging, and disease. By leveraging techniques that can be applied both in preclinical and clinical studies, our findings can be more readily translatable to improve human health.
