Culture conditions influence satellite cell activation and survival of single myofibers [PDF]

, 2018
Single myofiber isolation protocols allow to obtain an in vitro system in which the physical association between the myofiber and its stem cells, the satellite cells, is adequately preserved.

Genome wide comparative analysis of the effects of PRMT5 and PRMT4/CARM1 arginine methyltransferases on the Arabidopsis thaliana transcriptome [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND: Methylation at arginine residues (R) is an important post-translational modification that regulates a myriad of essential cellular processes in eukaryotes, such as transcriptional regulation, RNA processing, signal transduction and DNA repair.

LCN2‐ACOD1 Signalling Affects the Post‐Injury Regeneration of Skeletal Muscle Through Mediating Ferroptosis

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
LCN2 mediates the suppression of C2C12 myoblast proliferation and myotube formation via erastin‐induced ferroptosis. Mechanistically, the LCN2‐ACOD1 axis regulates skeletal muscle growth via mitochondria‐associated ferroptosis, providing a theoretical basis for the prevention and therapy of muscle‐related diseases.

RyR1 Is Involved in the Control of Myogenesis. [PDF]

Cells
The RyR1 calcium release channel is a key player in skeletal muscle excitation–contraction coupling. Mutations in the RYR1 gene are associated with congenital myopathies. Recently, a role of RyR1 in myotubes differentiation has been proposed and attributed to its calcium channel function, which nonetheless remains to be clearly demonstrated.

A patient‐derived orthotopic xenograft model unveils metastatic dynamics in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Metastasis in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC) poses significant clinical challenges. This proof‐of‐concept study establishes patient‐derived orthotopic xenografts (PDOXs) as advanced models that closely replicate primary HNSC tumours, including local lymph node metastasis and the intricate cancer–stroma interaction.

Lnc-mg is a long non-coding RNA that promotes myogenesis

Nature Communications, 2017
Recent studies indicate important roles for long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) as essential regulators of myogenesis and adult skeletal muscle regeneration. However, the specific roles of lncRNAs in myogenic differentiation of adult skeletal muscle stem cells

Association analysis of indel variants and gene expression identifies MDM4 as a novel locus for skeletal muscle hypertrophy and power athlete status

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Insertions and deletions (indels) are the second most common type of variation in the human genome. However, limited data on their associations with exercise‐related phenotypes have been documented. The aim of the present study was to examine the association between 18,370 indel variants and power athlete status, followed by additional studies

Microgravity‐induced changes in skeletal muscle and possible countermeasures: What we can learn from bed rest and human space studies

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite exercise countermeasures to sustain health and performance in spaceflight, complete maintenance of muscle mass and functions in microgravity is still not possible for most astronauts. The principal cause of the limited effectiveness of existing exercise countermeasures is the difficulty in achieving full loading forces in space.

Toxoplasma gondii down modulates cadherin expression in skeletal muscle cells inhibiting myogenesis

BMC Microbiology, 2011
Background Toxoplasma gondii belongs to a large and diverse group of obligate intracellular parasitic protozoa. Primary culture of mice skeletal muscle cells (SkMC) was employed as a model for experimental toxoplasmosis studies.

A recipe for myositis : nuclear factor κB and nuclear factor of activated T-cells transcription factor pathways spiced up by cytokines [PDF]

, 2017
Nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) is a well-known pro-inflammatory transcription factor that regulates the expression of the tissue’s immune-active components, which include cytokines, chemokines and adhesion molecules.
