Botulinum toxin A (Btx) injections and supervised exercise are often used concurrently to treat calf muscle spasticity in children. This study has analyzed the early effects of Btx-induced paralysis and increased activity by voluntary wheel running on cell growth-related processes in juvenile rat gastrocnemius muscle. Btx injection at 29 days of age prevented the normal increases in wet mass (50%) and fiber cross-sectional area (34%) seen by 36 days of age in control rats. Btx-injected vs. contralateral muscles had 22% fewer myonuclei per fiber length but greater than twofold the number of MyoD-positive nuclei at 36 days of age. The accretion of 5-bromo-2′-deoxyuridine-labeled newly produced myonuclei did not differ between limbs. Voluntary exercise during the 7 days increased the mass (18%) and fiber size (23%) of Btx-injected and contralateral muscles but did not affect any other variable. Thus Btx injection and exercise had early effects on muscle and fiber size without consistently associated changes in myonuclear production or number. This suggests the presence of noncontractile activity-dependent, growth-promoting cytoplasmic events in juvenile muscle.
