The metabolic regulation of cell death is sophisticated. A growing body evidence suggests the existence multiple checkpoints that dictate fate in response to fluctuations. However, whether microRNAs (miRNAs) are able respond stress, reset threshold death, and attempt reestablish homeostasis largely unknown. Here, we show miR-378/378* KO mice cannot maintain normal muscle weight have poor running performance, which accompanied by impaired autophagy, accumulation abnormal mitochondria,...

Myoblast proliferation following myotrauma is regulated by multiple factors including growth factors, signal pathways, transcription and miRNAs. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying orchestration of these regulatory remain unclear. Here we show that p38 signaling required for miR-1/133a clusters both activity miR-1/133 expression are attenuated during early stage muscle regeneration in various animal models. Additionally, miR-1 miR-133 reduce Cyclin D1 repress myoblast inducing G1...

It is known that thyroid hormone (TH) a major determinant of muscle fiber composition, but the molecular mechanism by which it does so remains unclear. Here, we demonstrated miR-133a1 direct target gene TH in muscle. Intriguingly, miR-133a, enriched fast-twitch muscle, regulates slow-to-fast type conversion targeting TEA domain family member 1 (TEAD1), key regulator slow expression. Inhibition miR-133a vivo abrogated action on conversion. Moreover, TEAD1 overexpression antagonized effect as...

Noninvasive biomarkers with diagnostic value and prognostic applications have long been desired to replace muscle biopsy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients. Growing evidence indicates that circulating microRNAs are assess pathophysiological status. Here, we show the serum levels of six muscle-specific miRNAs (miR-1/206/133/499/208a/208b, also known as myomiRs) were all elevated in DMD patients (P < 0.01). The receiver operating characteristic curves miR-206, miR-499, miR-208b,...

Understanding the fiber-type specification and metabolic switch in skeletal muscle provides insights into energy metabolism physiology diseases. Here, we show that miR-182 is highly expressed fast-twitch negatively correlates with blood glucose level. knockout mice display loss, fast-to-slow switching, impaired metabolism. Mechanistic studies reveal modulates utilization by targeting FoxO1 PDK4, which control fuel selection via pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDHC). Short-term high-fat diet...

Small auxin-up RNA (SAUR) gene family is the largest of early auxin response genes in higher plants, which have been implicated regulation multiple biological processes. However, no comprehensive analysis SAUR has reported cotton (Gossypium spp.).In study, we identified 145, 97, 214, and 176 homologous sequenced genomes G. raimondii, arboreum, hirsutum, barbadense, respectively. A phylogenetic revealed that can be classified into 10 groups. further chromosomal locations duplications showed...

Clinical evidence indicates a close association between muscle dysfunction and bone loss; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we report that dysfunction–related loss in humans with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy is associated decreased expression of folliculin-interacting protein 1 (FNIP1) tissue. Supporting this finding, murine gain- loss-of-function genetic models demonstrated muscle-specific ablation FNIP1 caused mass, increased osteoclastic activity, mechanical...

Cotton (Gossypium spp.) fibers are single-celled elongated trichomes, the molecular aspects of genetic variation in fiber length (FL) among genotypes currently unknown. In this study, two backcross inbred lines (BILs), i.e., NMGA-062 ("Long") and NMGA-105 ("Short") with 32.1 vs. 27.2 mm FL, respectively, were chosen to perform RNA-Seq on developing at 10 days post anthesis (DPA). The BILs differed 4 quantitative trait loci (QTL) for FL developed from backcrosses between G. hirsutum as...

Background Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a progressive muscle disease caused by the loss of dystrophin, which results in inflammation, fibrosis, and inhibition myoblast differentiation skeletal muscle. Catalpol, an iridoid glycoside, improves function enhancing myogenesis; it has potential to treat DMD. We demonstrate positive effects catalpol dystrophic Methods mdx (loss dystrophin) mice ( n = 18 per group) were treated with (200 mg/kg) for six consecutive weeks. Serum analysis,...

Skeletal muscle has a major role in locomotion and disorders are associated with poor regenerative efficiency. Therefore, deeper understanding of regeneration is needed to provide new insight for therapies. CaMKK2 plays the calcium/calmodulin-dependent kinase cascade; however, its skeletal remains unknown. Here, we found that expression levels were altered under physiological pathological conditions including postnatal myogensis, freeze or cardiotoxin-induced regeneration, Duchenne muscular...

Abstract Background Transforming growth factor‐β‐activated kinase 1 (TAK1) plays a key role in regulating fibroblast and myoblast proliferation differentiation. However, the TAK1 changes associated with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) are poorly understood, it remains unclear how regulation could be exploited to aid treatment of this disease. Methods Muscle biopsies were obtained from control donors or DMD patients for diagnosis ( n = 6 per group, male, 2–3 years, respectively). Protein...
