Dominant-negative inhibition of Ca2+ influx via TRPV2 ameliorates muscular dystrophy in animal models.
Muscular dystrophy is a severe degenerative disorder of skeletal muscle characterized by progressive muscle weakness. One subgroup of this disease is caused by a defect in the gene encoding one of the components of the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex, resulting in a significant disruption of membrane integrity and/or stability and, consequently, a sustained increase in the cytosolic Ca(2+) conc...
متن کاملMyocardial metabolism in progressive muscular dystrophy.
YOCARDIAL as well as skeletal muscle lvi involvement occurs in a high proportion of cases of human progressive muscular dystrophy. This cardiac involvement constitutes a specific cardiomyopathy. Clinical evidence of myocardial involvement by the dystrophic process includes labile tachycardia in over 50 per cent of cases, congestive heart failure, various arrhythmias, cardiac murmurs, and cardio...
متن کاملDuchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD): Should it be Considered a Systemic Disease?
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked muscle disease characterized by progressive skeletal muscle loss and development of respiratory failure due to involvement of respiratory muscles. Similar to human DMD, the mdx mouse model lacks dystrophin but is characterized by relatively mild muscle injury, allowing testing the effects of mild endurance exercise training on dystrophic skeletal...
متن کاملMuscular dystrophy in a dish: engineered human skeletal muscle mimetics for disease modeling and drug discovery.
Engineered in vitro models using human cells, particularly patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), offer a potential solution to issues associated with the use of animals for studying disease pathology and drug efficacy. Given the prevalence of muscle diseases in human populations, an engineered tissue model of human skeletal muscle could provide a biologically accurate platform...
متن کاملSpinal Muscular Atrophy: A Short Review Article
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a genetic disorder which affect nervous system and is characterized with progressive distal motor neuron weakness. The survival motor neuron (SMN) protein level reduces in patients with SMA. Two different genes code survival motor neuron protein in human genome. Skeletal and intercostal muscles denervation lead to weakness, hypotony, hyporeflexia, respiratory fa...
