Nintedanib Reduces Muscle Fibrosis and Improves Muscle Function of the Alpha-Sarcoglycan-Deficient Mice

open access: yesBiomedicines, 2022
Sarcoglycanopathies are a group of recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophies, characterized by progressive muscle weakness. Sarcoglycan deficiency produces instability of the sarcolemma during muscle contraction, leading to continuous muscle fiber ...

The P2X7 purinoceptor in pathogenesis and treatment of dystrophino- and sarcoglycanopathies [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Pharmacology, 2023
Dystrophinopathy and sarcoglycanopathies are incurable diseases caused by mutations in the genes encoding dystrophin or members of the dystrophin associated protein complex (DAPC). Restoration of the missing dystrophin or sarcoglycans via genetic approaches is complicated by the downsides of personalised medicines and immune responses against re ...

Limb-girdle muscular dystrophies in India: A review

open access: yesAnnals of Indian Academy of Neurology, 2017
Limb-girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMDs) are common in India. Information on LGMDs has been gradually evolving in the recent years. This information is scattered in case series and case studies.

Different outcome of sarcoglycan missense mutation between human and mouse. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
Sarcoglycanopathies are rare autosomic limb girdle muscular dystrophies caused by mutations in one of the genes coding for sarcoglycan (α, β, δ, and γ-sarcoglycans).

An AAV-SGCG Dose-Response Study in a γ-Sarcoglycanopathy Mouse Model in the Context of Mechanical Stress

open access: yesMolecular Therapy: Methods & Clinical Development, 2019
Sarcoglycanopathies are rare autosomic limb girdle muscular dystrophies caused by mutations in one of the genes coding for sarcoglycans. Sarcoglycans form a complex, which is an important part of the dystrophin-associated glycoprotein complex and which ...

Preliminary pharmacological study on C17 CFTR corrector related to sarcoglycanopathies

open access: yes, 2023
reservedSarcoglycanopathies are rare autosomal recessive pathologies, a subtype of the Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophies (LGMDs), a subfamily of a large group called muscular dystrophy (MD). The sarcoglycanopathies are caused by mutations in sarcoglycans,

Nonmechanical Roles of Dystrophin and Associated Proteins in Exercise, Neuromuscular Junctions, and Brains

open access: yesBrain Sciences, 2015
Dystrophin-glycoprotein complex (DGC) is an important structural unit in skeletal muscle that connects the cytoskeleton (f-actin) of a muscle fiber to the extracellular matrix (ECM).

Dysferlinopathy: Spectrum of pathological changes in skeletal muscle tissue

open access: yesIndian Journal of Pathology and Microbiology, 2011
Background: Dysferlinopathy is an autosomal recessive-limb girdle muscular dystrophy (AR-LGMD) caused due to the defect in gene encoding dysferlin, a sarcolemmal protein.
