The Regulation of Muscle Structure and Metabolism by Mio/dChREBP in Drosophila. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
All cells require energy to perform their specialized functions. Muscle is particularly sensitive to the availability of nutrients due to the high-energy requirement for muscle contraction.

Fhod3 in zebrafish supports myofibril stability during growth of embryonic skeletal muscle

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Actin filament organization in cardiomyocytes critically depends on the formin Fhod3, but a role for Fhod3 in skeletal muscle development has not yet been described. Results We demonstrate here that in zebrafish mutated for one of two fhod3 paralog genes, fhod3a, skeletal muscle of the trunk appears normal through 2 days post ...

Alterations in thin filament length during postnatal skeletal muscle development and aging in mice

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2014
The lengths of the sarcomeric thin filaments vary in a skeletal muscle-specific manner and help specify the physiological properties of skeletal muscle.

Metabolic abnormalities and reprogramming in cats with naturally occurring hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1256-1270, April 2025.
Abstract Background and aims The heart is a metabolic organ rich in mitochondria. The failing heart reprograms to utilize different energy substrates, which increase its oxygen consumption. These adaptive changes contribute to increased oxidative stress.

Association of Calpastatin (CAST) Gene with Growth Traits and Carcass Characteristics in Bali Cattle [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Calpastatin (CAST) gene is well known as an inhibitor of muscle protein degradation and relates to muscle growth and meat tenderness. The objective of this study was to determine the association of CAST gene with growth traits and carcass characteristics

Dapagliflozin alleviates high‐fat‐induced obesity cardiomyopathy by inhibiting ferroptosis

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1358-1373, April 2025.
Abstract Aim: Dapagliflozin (Dapa) is a novel hypoglycaemic agent with multiple cardiovascular protective effects, and it is widely used in treatment of heart failure patients, but whether it can improve obese phenotype of heart failure and its mechanism is still unclear.

Single‐cell transcriptomics reveals cellular heterogeneity and phenotypic transitions of smooth muscle cells in aortic dissection

open access: yesiMeta, EarlyView.
We utilized single‐cell RNA sequencing (scRNA‐seq) to investigate cellular heterogeneity and signaling networks in aortic dissection (AD) tissues compared to adjacent normal tissues. The analysis identified five smooth muscle cell (SMC) subtypes, with SMC2 linked to fibrosis and SMC3 associated with inflammation.

DAAM is required for thin filament formation and Sarcomerogenesis during muscle development in Drosophila. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
During muscle development, myosin and actin containing filaments assemble into the highly organized sarcomeric structure critical for muscle function.

The conserved transmembrane proteoglycan Perdido/Kon-tiki is essential for myofibrillogenesis and sarcomeric structure in Drosophila [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
This is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License.Muscle differentiation requires the assembly of high-order structures called myofibrils, composed of sarcomeres.

The Effects of Angiotensin Receptor Neprilysin Inhibitor on Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress in Doxorubicin‐Mediated Cardiomyopathy‐Associated Heart Failure Model in Rats

open access: yesJournal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT One of the most serious complications associated with the use of the chemotherapeutic agent doxorubicin (DOX) is cardiomyopathy. Although cardioprotective drugs such as angiotensin receptor‐neprilysin inhibitors (ARNI) are used to prevent cardiomyopathy in DOX patients, no studies have reported the relationship between ARNI and endoplasmic ...
