Transcriptomic Profiling Reveals 17β-Estradiol Treatment Represses Ubiquitin-Proteasomal Mediators in Skeletal Muscle of Ovariectomized Mice.

With a decline of 17β-estradiol (E2) at menopause, E2 has been implicated in the accompanied loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength. We aimed at characterizing transcriptomic responses of skeletal muscle to E2 in female mice, testing the hypothesis that...

Norharmane prevents muscle aging via activation of SKN-1/NRF2 stress response pathways.

Sarcopenia, the age-related decline in muscle mass and function, is a significant contributor to increased frailty and mortality in the elderly. Currently, no FDA-approved treatment exists for sarcopenia. Here, we identified norharmane (NR), a β-carboline alkaloid, as a potential therapeutic...

Why are we not exploring the potential of lower limb muscle power to identify people with sarcopenia?

Sarcopenia refers to a neuromuscular disease characterized by age-related declines in muscle mass and function. Since Professor Rosenberg first introduced the concept of sarcopenia in 1989, numerous operational paradigms have been proposed, tested, and validated against negative outcomes. The most...

Multi-omic profiling of sarcopenia identifies disrupted branched-chain amino acid catabolism as a causal mechanism and therapeutic target.

Sarcopenia is a geriatric disorder characterized by a gradual loss of muscle mass and function. Despite its prevalence, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear, and there are currently no approved treatments. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of the...

CT-Based Body Composition and Frailty as Predictors of Survival Among Older Adults With Gastrointestinal Malignancies.

Older adults with cancer are at an increased risk of treatment related toxicities and early death. Routinely collected clinico-demographic characteristics inadequately explain this increased risk limiting accurate prognostication. Prior studies have suggested that altered body composition and frailty are independently...

Polygonatum sibiricum polysaccharide ameliorates skeletal muscle aging and mitochondrial dysfunction via PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway.

Sarcopenia is currently a life-threatening disease for the elderly. Polygonatum sibiricum polysaccharide (PSP) has anti-oxidative stress and anti-inflammatory effects. However, the effects of PSP on skeletal muscle aging, myoblast differentiation and mitochondrial dysfunction through PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway has not been...

Melatonin ameliorates age-related sarcopenia by inhibiting fibrogenic conversion of satellite cell.

The fibrogenic conversion of satellite cells contributes to the atrophy and fibrosis of skeletal muscle, playing a significant role in the pathogenesis of age-related sarcopenia. Melatonin, a hormone secreted by the pineal gland, exhibits anti-aging and anti-fibrotic effects in various...

The cross-talk between the cGAS-STING signaling pathway and chronic inflammation in the development of musculoskeletal disorders.

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) comprise diverse conditions affecting bones, joints, and muscles, leading to pain and loss of function, and are one of the most prevalent and major global health concerns. One of the hallmarks of MSDs is DNA damage. Once...

Mitochondrial calcium uptake declines during aging and is directly activated by oleuropein to boost energy metabolism and skeletal muscle performance.

Mitochondrial calcium (mtCa) uptake via the mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU) couples calcium homeostasis and energy metabolism. mtCa uptake via MCU is rate-limiting for mitochondrial activation during muscle contraction, but its pathophysiological role and therapeutic application remain largely uncharacterized. By profiling...

Muscle fibroblasts and stem cells stimulate motor neurons in an age and exercise-dependent manner.

Exercise preserves neuromuscular function in aging through unknown mechanisms. Skeletal muscle fibroblasts (FIB) and stem cells (MuSC) are abundant in skeletal muscle and reside close to neuromuscular junctions, but their relative roles in motor neuron maintenance remain undescribed.
