Proteasome inhibitors reduce thrombospondin-1 release in human dysferlin-deficient myotubes

open access: yesBMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2020
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.

Dysferlin-null mice exhibit reduced sensitivity to the blood pressure (BP)-lowering effects of losartan.

open access: yes, 2019
Systolic, diastolic and mean arterial blood pressure measurements (MABP) in dysferlin-null mice treated acutely (6 weeks) with a 0.6g/L dose of losartan (A), and EC50 of losartan dose response curves in both WT and dysferlin-null cohorts (B).

Secreted acid sphingomyelinase as a potential gene therapy for limb girdle muscular dystrophy 2B

open access: yesThe Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2022
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 ...

Fasting serum annexin A2 is associated with peripheral insulin sensitivity and may enhance glucose uptake via Src‐dependent signaling

open access: yesJournal of Diabetes Investigation, EarlyView.
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]

open access: yesJournal of Neuropathology & Experimental Neurology, 2005
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

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2023
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

open access: yesPeriodontology 2000, EarlyView.
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]

open access: yes, 2009
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.

Dysferlin-deficiency has greater impact on function of slow muscles, compared with fast, in aged BLAJ mice

open access: yes, 2019
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.
