miR-146a deficiency does not aggravate muscular dystrophy in mdx mice

open access: yesSkeletal Muscle, 2019
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a genetic disease evoked by a mutation in the dystrophin gene. It is associated with progressive muscle degeneration and increased inflammation.

Multi-omics analysis of sarcospan overexpression in mdx skeletal muscle reveals compensatory remodeling of cytoskeleton-matrix interactions that promote mechanotransduction pathways

open access: yesSkeletal Muscle, 2023
Background The dystrophin-glycoprotein complex (DGC) is a critical adhesion complex of the muscle cell membrane, providing a mechanical link between the extracellular matrix (ECM) and the cortical cytoskeleton that stabilizes the sarcolemma during ...

CRISPR Technology in Disease Management: An Updated Review of Clinical Translation and Therapeutic Potential

open access: yesCell Proliferation, EarlyView.
CRISPR‐Cas systems offer transformative genome editing capabilities for precise manipulation of cellular genes. This enables two main therapeutic avenues: ex vivo modification of patient cells for re‐transplantation or direct in vivo gene targeting via advanced delivery methods.

Prmt5 is a regulator of muscle stem cell expansion in adult mice. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Skeletal muscle stem cells (MuSC), also called satellite cells, are indispensable for maintenance and regeneration of adult skeletal muscles. Yet, a comprehensive picture of the regulatory events controlling the fate of MuSC is missing.

¹³C NMR metabolomics: applications at natural abundance. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
(13)C NMR has many advantages for a metabolomics study, including a large spectral dispersion, narrow singlets at natural abundance, and a direct measure of the backbone structures of metabolites.

The unconditioned fear response in dystrophin-deficient mice is associated with adrenal and vascular function

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Loss of function mutations in the gene encoding dystrophin elicits a hypersensitive fear response in mice and humans. In the dystrophin-deficient mdx mouse, this behaviour is partially protected by oestrogen, but the mechanistic basis for this protection

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 ...

Cromolyn administration (to block mast cell degranulation) reduces necrosis of dystrophic muscle in mdx mice

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2006
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a lethal muscle wasting disorder, resulting from mutations in the gene encoding for the skeletal muscle protein dystrophin.

Crohn's disease-associated adherent-invasive Escherichia coli adhesion is enhanced by exposure to the ubiquitous dietary polysaccharide maltodextrin. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Crohn's disease (CD) is associated with intestinal dysbiosis evidenced by an altered microbiome forming thick biofilms on the epithelium. Additionally, adherent-invasive E.

T-Cell-Dependent Fibrosis in the mdx Dystrophic Mouse [PDF]

open access: yesLaboratory Investigation, 2000
In Duchenne muscular dystrophy patients, the pathological hallmark of the disease, namely, the chronic accumulation of sclerotic scar tissue in the interstitial space of skeletal muscle is attributed to manifestation of secondary pathological processes.
