Exploring the role of chemerin in skeletal muscle phenotype in those with kidney disease.

INTRODUCTION

People with chronic kidney disease (CKD) often experience poor muscle quality and elevations in skeletal muscle wasting and dysfunction, contributing to a reduced quality of life and an increased risk of morbidity and mortality. The adipokine chemerin is associated with...

Mitochondrial Permeability Transition in Skeletal Muscle Phenocopies Muscle Alterations seen in Cancer Cachexia and other Wasting Conditions.

BACKGROUND

Skeletal muscle in wasting conditions often exhibits a common set of phenotypes that include atrophy, mitochondrial respiratory dysfunction, and fragmentation of the acetylcholine receptor (AChR) cluster at the endplate. Mitochondria are frequently implicated in driving muscle pathology in these conditions,...

Tumor intrinsic properties dictate Fc receptor expression and cancer cachexia associated increase in checkpoint inhibitor clearance.

PURPOSE

Patients with cancer cachexia display a general resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy, and baseline ICI catabolic clearance is a predictive indicator for overall survival, independent of dose and drug exposure. Fc-gamma (FcγRs) and neonatal Fc receptors (FcRn) play...

Peak Expiratory Flow and Its Trajectories Associated With Frailty in Older Adults: A Prospective Cohort Study.

BACKGROUND

Current evidence indicates an association between peak expiratory flow (PEF) and frailty in older adults, yet critical gaps persist regarding: the longitudinal dynamics of PEF trajectories, their temporal relationships with frailty progression and underlying biological mechanisms. This study aimed to...

Lean Body Mass Associates With a Hypertensive Cardiovascular Phenotype in Men but Not in Women.

BACKGROUND

Lean body mass (LBM) is independently associated with the function and structure of the cardiovascular (CV) system in women and genetically predisposed men with low LBM. Yet, the relationship between LBM and the CV system remains uncertain in the general...

Jianpi Qiangji Granule ameliorates aging-associated sarcopenia via AMPK/PGC-1α axis in SAMP8 mice.

BACKGROUND

Sarcopenia is an age-related syndrome characterized primarily by the progressive decline of muscle mass and function. It is frequently associated with adverse outcomes such as falls, fractures, and hospitalization, often leading to substantial economic burdens and severe health hazards. At...

Sarcopenic Obesity Phenotype Index (SOPi): A Population-Based Study.

BACKGROUND

Sarcopenic obesity (SO) is a clinical condition defined by the coexistence of high body fat mass and low muscle function and mass, which increases the risk of adverse health outcomes, including disability and mortality. Early detection and frequent monitoring of...

EIF4A3 Promotes Muscle Atrophy and Aging by Inhibiting the FAK Pathway Through NEDD9 mRNA Destabilization.

Muscle atrophy has a poor prognosis, caused by various factors. Identifying a shared treatment target could address an unmet clinical need. The exon junction complex (EJC), a protein complex assembly that binds to RNA, facilitates post-transcriptional regulation by participating in...

Transcriptomic Signature of Frailty in Older Patients With Cardiovascular Disease Undergoing Cardiac Surgery or TAVI.

Deterioration of functional capacity mostly determinates frailty in older patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Elucidating the pathophysiological mechanisms of physical frailty is an important goal for improving functional health-related outcomes. Our objective was the determination of the transcriptomic signature of...

Detrimental Effects of β2-Microglobulin on Muscle Metabolism: Evidence From In Vitro, Animal and Human Research.

β2-Microglobulin (B2M) has garnered considerable interest as a potential pro-ageing factor, leading to speculation about its involvement in muscle metabolism and the development of sarcopenia, a key component of ageing phenotypes. To explore this hypothesis, we conducted a comprehensive investigation...
