CircGLIS3 Inhibits Intramuscular Adipogenesis and Alleviates Skeletal Muscle Fat Infiltration.

Intramuscular fat (IMF) is a key determinant of meat quality. Excessive IMF deposition, commonly observed in human obesity and aging, negatively affects skeletal muscle function. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) play critical regulatory roles in muscle and fat development, as well as...

Unravelling the Role of PIEZO1 in Adipogenesis of Fibrogenic/Adipogenic Progenitors for Muscle Fat Infiltration After Rotator Cuff Tear.

Muscular fatty infiltration originated from fibrogenic/adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) is a common issue following rotator cuff tear (RCT) that impairs shoulder function. RCT disrupted the biomechanical equilibrium of the shoulder and decreased the mechanical stimuli transmitted to the rotator cuff. Whether...

B0092 tumor-bearing mice are a new model for the study of cachexia in head and neck cancer.

Introduction: Head and neck cancer (HNC) accounts for ~4% of all cancers but causes ~15,000 deaths annually in the U.S. Over 40% of HNC patients present with cachexia, a severe comorbidity associated with skeletal muscle defects, worsened treatment response, and...

High expression of the cachexia-related protein Fn14 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma correlates with poor chemotherapy response and anti-Fn14 therapy decreases chemotherapeutic resistance.

In cancer cachexia, cytokine release by tumours causes weight loss, decreased therapeutic efficacy, and worsened prognosis. Tumour necrosis factor-like weak inducer of apoptosis (TWEAK) and fibroblast inducible factor 14 (Fn14) are cancer cachexia-related proteins; however, their expression in oesophageal squamous...

Late-Stage Skeletal Muscle Transcriptome in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Shows a BMP4-Induced Molecular Signature.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a fatal X-linked recessive disease due to loss-of-function variants in the DYSTROPHIN gene. DMD-related skeletal muscle wasting is typified by an aberrant immune response involving upregulation of the TGFฮฒ family of cytokines, like TGFฮฒ1 and...

Impaired Autophagic Flux in Skeletal Muscle of Plectin-Related Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex With Muscular Dystrophy.

Plectin, a multifunctional cytolinker and intermediate filament stabilizing protein, is essential for muscle fibre integrity and function. Mutations in the human plectin gene (PLEC) cause autosomal recessive epidermolysis bullosa simplex with muscular dystrophy (EBS-MD). The disorganization and aggregation of desmin...
