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 ...

Desmin: molecular interactions and putative functions of the muscle intermediate filament protein

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2004
Desmin is the intermediate filament (IF) protein occurring exclusively in muscle and endothelial cells. There are other IF proteins in muscle such as nestin, peripherin, and vimentin, besides the ubiquitous lamins, but they are not unique to muscle ...

Phagocytic Mesothelial Cells in Pericardial Effusion Following Allogeneic Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation for Chronic Active Epstein-Barr Virus Infection: A Distinctive Cytomorphological and Immunocytochemical Case Study. [PDF]

Diagn Cytopathol
ABSTRACT Phagocytic activity of mesothelial cells is a rare phenomenon requiring careful differentiation from histiocytic hemophagocytosis to ensure appropriate patient management, as these phenomena could exhibit distinct clinical implications. In this study, we report a case of phagocytic mesothelial cells found in pericardial effusion that developed

Desmin and Cardiac Disease [PDF]

Circulation Research, 2018
Desmin, the intermediate filament protein in striated muscle, is an essential component of the striated muscle cell cytoskeleton. In muscle, the cytoskeleton is a multifunctional, dynamic, and complex structure that serves as a scaffold to maintain the structural integrity and architecture of the cardiomyocyte.

Vimentin filaments are assembled from a soluble precursor in avian erythroid cells [PDF]

, 1983
The synthesis and assembly of vimentin was studied in erythroid cells from 10-d-old chicken embryos. After various periods of [35S]methionine incorporation, cells were lysed in a Triton X-100-containing buffer and separated into a soluble and an ...

The Endothelial CXCR Family in Vascular Health and Disease

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Endothelial cells (ECs) form the dynamic interface between blood and tissue, serving as key regulators of vascular homeostasis, inflammation, and repair. Among the molecular systems governing endothelial behavior, the C‐X‐C motif chemokine receptor (CXCR) family—originally characterized in immunology for its roles in leukocyte trafficking and ...

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

Characterisation of feline renal cortical fibroblast cultures and their transcriptional response to transforming growth factor beta 1 [PDF]

, 2018
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is common in geriatric cats, and the most prevalent pathology is chronic tubulointerstitial inflammation and fibrosis. The cell type predominantly responsible for the production of extra-cellular matrix in renal fibrosis is ...

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.
