Fhod3 in zebrafish supports myofibril stability during growth of embryonic skeletal muscle

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Actin filament organization in cardiomyocytes critically depends on the formin Fhod3, but a role for Fhod3 in skeletal muscle development has not yet been described. Results We demonstrate here that in zebrafish mutated for one of two fhod3 paralog genes, fhod3a, skeletal muscle of the trunk appears normal through 2 days post ...

Impaired Autophagic Flux in Skeletal Muscle of Plectin‐Related Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex With Muscular Dystrophy

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle
Background Plectin, a multifunctional cytolinker and intermediate filament stabilizing protein, is essential for muscle fibre integrity and function. Mutations in the human plectin gene (PLEC) cause autosomal recessive epidermolysis bullosa simplex with ...

Deceptive Thyroid Pathologies: Anaplastic Thyroid Carcinoma Mimics and Clinical Implications

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Beyond follicular‐derived thyroid carcinomas, lymphomas, and metastatic disease, there are rare pathologies of the thyroid gland that represent a challenge. We report patients with unusual malignancies that mimic similar aggressive cancers. Methods Retrospective case series.

Sodium hydrogen sulfide (NaHS) ameliorates alterations caused by cisplatin in filtration slit diaphragm and podocyte cytoskeletal in rat kidney [PDF]

Journal of Nephropathology, 2017
Background: Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has been shown to have a protective role in various kidney disorders. Objectives: This study investigated the molecular mechanism of NaHS (a H2S donor) in treating on the renal damage induced by cisplatin (CP).Materials

The desmin network is a determinant of the cytoplasmic stiffness of myoblasts

Biology of the Cell, 2018
The mechanical properties of cells are essential to maintain their proper functions, and mainly rely on their cytoskeleton. A lot of attention has been paid to actin filaments, demonstrating their central role in the cells mechanical properties, but much

Placental‐Derived Connective Tissue Matrix Mediates Murine Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Regeneration

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Placentally derived connective tissue matrix (pd‐CTM) innately contains various neurotrophic, angiogenic, anti‐inflammatory, and tissue remodeling cytokines. In this mouse model of unilateral vocal fold paralysis, we investigate its effects on recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) regeneration and reinnervation of the right thyroarytenoid (TA) muscle after ...

Cardiomyopathies associated with the DES gene mutations: molecular pathogenesis and gene therapy approaches

Alʹmanah Kliničeskoj Mediciny, 2019
Cardiomyopathy (CMP) is a common group of cardiovascular disorders. Genetic (primary) cardiomyopathies are related to abnormalities in more than 100 genes, including the DES gene encoding desmin protein.

Proteomic Profiling of Myofiber Repair Annexins and Their Role in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Myofiber regeneration and membrane repair play crucial roles in maintaining the continuous physiological functioning of the neuromuscular system. A swift and efficient repair mechanism enables the rapid restoration of sarcolemmal integrity following cellular impairment in damaged skeletal muscles.

Desmin and Plectin Recruitment to the Nucleus and Nuclei Orientation Are Lost in Emery-Dreifuss Muscular Dystrophy Myoblasts Subjected to Mechanical Stimulation

Cells
In muscle cells subjected to mechanical stimulation, LINC complex and cytoskeletal proteins are basic to preserve cellular architecture and maintain nuclei orientation and positioning. In this context, the role of lamin A/C remains mostly elusive.

Diagnostic and therapeutic approaches of para‐testicular SCRMS in an adolescent patient: A case report

UroPrecision, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Para‐testicular rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a rare and aggressive malignancy primarily affecting children and adolescents, with peak incidence between ages 2 and 5 years. Of the histological variants of RMS, the spindle cell type of RMS is particularly uncommon, accounting for approximately 5% of cases.
