Proteasome inhibitors reduce thrombospondin-1 release in human dysferlin-deficient myotubes
Background Dysferlinopathies are a group of muscle disorders causing muscle weakness and absence or low levels of dysferlin, a type-II transmembrane protein and the causative gene of these dystrophies.

Secreted acid sphingomyelinase as a potential gene therapy for limb girdle muscular dystrophy 2B
Efficient sarcolemmal repair is required for muscle cell survival, with deficits in this process leading to muscle degeneration. Lack of the sarcolemmal protein dysferlin impairs sarcolemmal repair by reducing secretion of the enzyme acid ...

Circulating Annexin A2 is positively associated with peripheral insulin sensitivity. ABSTRACT Background and Aim Subcellular annexin A2 (ANXA2) is known to regulate membrane dynamics and GLUT4 trafficking in adipocytes; however, the role of serum ANXA2 in glucose metabolism remains unclear.

Dysferlin Interacts with Affixin (β-Parvin) at the Sarcolemma [PDF]
The dysferlin gene is defective in Miyoshi myopathy (MM) and limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2B (LGMD2B). Dysferlin is a sarcolemmal protein that is implicated in calcium-dependent membrane repair. Affixin (beta-parvin) is a novel, integrin-linked kinase-binding protein that is involved in the linkage between integrin and the cytoskeleton.

Pharmacotherapeutic Approaches to Treatment of Muscular Dystrophies
Muscular dystrophies are a heterogeneous group of genetic muscle-wasting disorders that are subdivided based on the region of the body impacted by muscle weakness as well as the functional activity of the underlying genetic mutations. A common feature of

Mapping the omics landscape for peri‐implant diseases: A scoping review
Abstract Objectives To map omics evidence across peri‐implant health, peri‐implant mucositis, and peri‐implantitis, and to identify recurring molecular patterns and candidate biomarker signals relevant to diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment. Materials and Methods This scoping review included human studies using genomics, DNA methylation–based ...

Characterization of FER1L5, a novel dysferlin myoferlin related protein [PDF]
The ferlins are mammalian homologues of the C-elegans sperm vesicle fusion protein FER-1 characterised by multiple C2 domains and a C-terminal anchor.

Dysferlinopathies are a form of muscular dystrophy caused by gene mutations resulting in deficiency of the protein dysferlin. Symptoms manifest later in life in a muscle specific manner, although the pathomechanism is not well understood.
