Membrane glucocorticoid receptors are localised in the extracellular matrix and signal through the MAPK pathway in mammalian skeletal muscle fibres [PDF]

, 2015
A number of studies have previously proposed the existence of glucocorticoid receptors on the plasma membrane of many cell types including skeletal muscle fibres.

Polyplex Nanomicelle‐Mediated Pgc‐1α4 mRNA Delivery Via Hydrodynamic Limb Vein Injection Enhances Damage Resistance in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Mice

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 16, April 24, 2025.
This study presents a novel approach for treating Duchenne muscular dystrophy using mRNA encoding PGC‐1α4. Nanomicelle‐delivered Pgc‐1α4 mRNA enhances muscle damage resistance and mitochondrial activity in dystrophic muscles. This study demonstrates the potential of mRNA therapy for neuromuscular diseases like Duchenne muscular dystrophy and highlights

Tadalafil Treatment Delays the Onset of Cardiomyopathy in Dystrophin‐Deficient Hearts

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2016
BackgroundCardiomyopathy is a leading cause of mortality among Duchenne muscular dystrophy patients and lacks effective therapies. Phosphodiesterase type 5 is implicated in dystrophic pathology, and the phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor tadalafil has ...

Milestone Review: Unlocking the Proteomics of Glycine Receptor Complexes

Journal of Neurochemistry, Volume 169, Issue 4, April 2025.
Glycine receptors (GlyRs) play key roles in brain development, learning/memory, inflammatory pain sensitization, and rhythmic breathing. GlyRs depend upon stable and transient protein–protein interactions that influence synaptic localization, homeostasis, signaling pathways, and receptor function.

Post-natal induction of PGC-1α protects against severe muscle dystrophy independently of utrophin [PDF]

, 2014
Background: Duchenne muscle dystrophy (DMD) afflicts 1 million boys in the US and has few effective treatments. Constitutive transgenic expression of the transcriptional coactivator peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator (PGC)-1α ...

Astrocyte proliferation in the hippocampal dentate gyrus is suppressed across the lifespan of dystrophin‐deficient mdx mice

Experimental Physiology, Volume 110, Issue 4, Page 585-598, 1 April 2025.
Abstract Absence of the structural protein, dystrophin, results in the neuromuscular disorder Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). In addition to progressive skeletal muscle dysfunction, this multisystemic disorder can also result in cognitive deficits and behavioural changes that are likely to be consequences of dystrophin loss from central neurons and ...

Murine obscurin and Obsl1 have functionally redundant roles in sarcolemmal integrity, sarcoplasmic reticulum organization, and muscle metabolism. [PDF]

, 2019
Biological roles of obscurin and its close homolog Obsl1 (obscurin-like 1) have been enigmatic. While obscurin is highly expressed in striated muscles, Obsl1 is found ubiquitously.

Increased levels of interleukin-6 exacerbate the dystrophic phenotype in mdx mice [PDF]

, 2015
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is characterized by progressive lethal muscle degeneration and chronic inflammatory response. The mdx mouse strain has served as the animal model for human DMD. However, while DMD patients undergo extensive necrosis, the

New Horizons in Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1: Cellular Senescence as a Therapeutic Target

BioEssays, Volume 47, Issue 3, March 2025.
Cellular senescence accumulates in the skeletal muscle of patients with myotonic dystrophy Type 1, leading to the production of senescence‐associated secretory phenotype (SASP) factors that have detrimental effects. Targeting these senescent cells with senotherapeutics could restore muscle homeostasis and slow disease progression.
