The gamma-smooth muscle actin isoform in smooth muscle and smooth muscle-like cells

, 2013
L'actine est non seulement la protéine la plus abondante dans la plupart des cellules eucaryotes mais également une des plus conservées dans l'évolution. Il reste toutefois à ce jour de nombreuses zones d'ombre, en particulier en ce qui concerne le rôle de ses différentes isoformes.

Discovery and Treatment of Action Potential‐Independent Myotonia in Hyperkalemic Periodic Paralysis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Hyperkalemic periodic paralysis (hyperKPP) is characterized by attacks of transient weakness. A subset of hyperKPP patients suffers from transient involuntary contraction of muscle (myotonia). The goal of this study was to determine mechanisms causing myotonia in hyperKPP.

Single-cell sequencing reveals PHLDA1-positive smooth muscle cells promote local invasion in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

Translational Oncology
Background: Smooth muscle cells within the tumor microenvironment play a crucial role in cancer progression. However, their involvement in the local invasion of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma remains poorly understood.

Gigantic Stomach: A Rare Manifestation of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy [PDF]

, 2019
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is characterized by degeneration and atrophy of skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscles after a latent period of apparently normal development and function. The gastrointestinal manifestations start in the second decade of

Digital Activity Markers in Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the utility of smartwatch and smartphone‐based activity metrics for assessing disease severity and quality of life in patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP). Methods In the electronic monitoring of disease activity in patients with CIDP (EMDA‐CIDP) trial, we performed a prospective ...

HDAC9 is implicated in atherosclerotic aortic calcification and affects vascular smooth muscle cell phenotype. [PDF]

, 2019
Aortic calcification is an important independent predictor of future cardiovascular events. We performed a genome-wide association meta-analysis to determine SNPs associated with the extent of abdominal aortic calcification (n = 9,417) or descending ...

Repeat Expansions in PLIN4 Cause Autosomal Dominant Vacuolar Myopathy With Sarcolemmal Features

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective We aim to describe and characterize two unrelated Spanish families suffering from an autosomal dominant autophagic vacuolar myopathy caused by repeat expansions in PLIN4. Methods We evaluated the clinical phenotype and muscle imaging, and performed a genetic workup that included exome sequencing, muscle RNAseq, and long‐read genome ...

Implanted Mouse Bone Marrow-Derived Cells Reconstruct Layered Smooth Muscle Structures in Injured Urinary Bladders

Cell Transplantation, 2008
This study is a preliminary investigation to determine if bone marrow-derived cells, when implanted into freeze-injured urinary bladders, differentiate into smooth muscle cells and reconstruct smooth muscle layers.

PKCα and CPI-17 expression and spatial-temporal distribution with activation in pig stomach antrum and fundus [PDF]

, 2010
Smooth muscle contraction is a complicated process coordinated by contractile, regulatory and cytoskeletal proteins. The force generation depends on the phosphorylation of Myosin Regulatory Light Chain (MLC20). Myosin Light Chain Kinase (MLCK) and Myosin
