Combating muscle atrophy: emerging therapeutic targets that are fiber‐type‐specific

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Inflammation, denervation or decreased insulin signaling activate proteolysis and cause muscle wasting. Pathological conditions like obesity and DMD can also exacerbate atrophy via PGD2–RhoA–ROCK2 signaling. In contrast, exercise, dietary interventions, and pharmacological agents can activate Ca2+/calcineurin–NFAT and AMPK–PGC‐1α–MEF pathways ...

Exploring the respiratory efficacy of combined chronic glucocorticoid and antioxidant interventions in the mdx mouse: The PREDNAC trial

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is characterized by respiratory muscle injury and weakness, ultimately leading to respiratory failure. Impaired respiratory muscle performance, fibrosis and inflammation in early disease are evident in the dystrophin‐deficient mdx mouse model of DMD.

Weighted cart pull: A novel outcome measure for sustained motor function in mice

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Sarcopenia, the pathological age‐related decline in muscle mass and strength, compromises independence and quality of life in older adults. Currently, no effective treatments are available. To enhance translational research using aged mouse models, we developed and validated the weighted cart pull (WCP) as a novel assessment of sustained motor

Volitional exercise elicits physiological and molecular improvements in the severe D2.mdx mouse model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend This study investigated the effects of volitional exercise on muscle health in the more severe D2.mdx model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). We showed that 8–10 weeks of a relatively high volume of voluntary wheel running (VWR) in D2.mdx animals augmented select muscle mass and normalized ex vivo muscle force compared to ...

Massive reduction of RyR1 in muscle spindles of mice carrying recessive Ryr1 mutations alters proprioception and causes scoliosis

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Intrafusal muscles contained within muscle spindles are endowed with ryanodie receptor 1 (RyR1) calcium channels and participate in proprioceptor function. Mutations in RyR1 linked to severe RYR1‐congenital myopathies affect calcium release from both extrafusal as well as intrafusal muscles.
