Recently, the possibility of regeneration in muscle atrophic cells was suggested through mitochondrial transfer. Therefore, we attempted to prove the efficacy of mitochondrial transplantation in animal models. To this end, we prepared intact mitochondria from umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells maintaining their membrane potential. To examine the efficacy of mitochondrial transplantation on muscle regeneration, we measured muscle mass, cross-sectional area of muscle fiber, and changes in muscle-specific protein. In addition, changes in the signaling mechanisms related to muscle atrophy were evaluated. As a result, in mitochondrial transplantation, the muscle mass increased by 1.5-fold and the lactate concentration decreased by 2.5-fold at 1 week in dexamethasone-induced atrophic muscles. In addition, a 2.3-fold increase in the expression of desmin protein, a muscle regeneration marker, showed a significant recovery in MT 5 µg group. Importantly, the muscle-specific ubiquitin E3-ligases MAFbx and MuRF-1 were significantly decreased through AMPK-mediated Akt-FoxO signaling pathway by mitochondrial transplantation compared with the saline group, reaching a level similar to that in the control.

ANKRD1 is one of the muscle ankyrin repeat domain proteins (MARPs) a family of titin-associated, stress-response molecules and putative transducers of stretch-induced signaling in skeletal muscle. The aberrant over-activation of Nuclear factor Kappa B (NF-κB) and the Ankyrin-repeat domain containing protein 1 (ANKRD1) occurs in several models of progressive muscle disease including Duchenne muscular dystrophy. We hypothesized that mechanical regulation of ANKRD1 is mediated by NF-κB activation in skeletal muscles and that this mechanism is perturbed by small deletion of the stretch-sensing titin N2A region in the <i>mdm</i> mouse. We applied static mechanical stretch of the <i>mdm</i> mouse diaphragm and cyclic mechanical stretch of C<sub>2</sub>C<sub>12</sub> myotubes to examine the interaction between NF−κΒ and ANKRD1 expression utilizing Western blot and qRTPCR.

Our data show that in the <i>mdm</i> diaphragm, basal levels of NF-κB are increased, and pharmacological inhibition of NF-κB does not alter basal levels of ANKRD1.

The α-subunit of dystroglycan (αDG) is characterized by a high level of glycosylation, including a unique O-mannosyl matriglycan. This specific glycosylation is essential for binding of αDG to extracellular matrix ligands effectively. A subset of muscular dystrophies, called dystroglycanopathies, are associated with aberrant, dysfunctional glycosylation of αDG. This defect prevents myocytes from attaching to the basal membrane, leading to contraction-induced injury. Here, we describe a novel Western blot (WB) assay for determining levels of αDG glycosylation in skeletal muscle tissue. The assay described involves extracting proteins from fine needle tibialis anterior (TA) biopsies and separation using SDS-PAGE followed by WB. Glycosylated and core αDG are then detected in a multiplexed format using fluorescent antibodies. A practical application of this assay is demonstrated with samples from normal donors and patients diagnosed with LGMD2I/R9. Quantitative analysis of the WB, which employed the use of a normal TA derived calibration curve, revealed significantly reduced levels of αDG in patient biopsies relative to unaffected TA. Importantly, the assay was able to distinguish between the L276I homozygous patients and a more severe form of clinical disease observed with other <i>FKRP</i> variants.

This study investigates the immune cell profiles in muscle biopsies of individuals engaged in resistance exercise (RE) and explores the impact of age and sex on the immune response following exercise-induced muscle damage. Microarray datasets from muscle biopsies of young and old subjects were analyzed, focusing on the gene expression patterns associated with immune cell activation. Genes were compared with immune cell signatures to reveal the cellular landscape during exercise. Results show that the most significant modulated gene after RE was Folliculin Interacting Protein 2 (FNIP2) a crucial regulator in cellular homeostasis. Moreover, the transcriptome was stratified based on the expression of <i>FNIP2</i> and the 203 genes common to the groups obtained based on sex and age. Gene ontology analysis highlighted the <i>FLCN-FNIP1-FNIP2</i> complex, which exerts as a negative feedback loop to Pi3k-Akt-mTORC1 pathway. Furthermore, we highlighted that the young females exhibit a distinct innate immune cell activation signature compared to males after a RE session. Specifically, young females demonstrate a notable overlap with dendritic cells (DCs), M1 macrophages, M2 macrophages, and neutrophils, while young males overlap with M1 macrophages, M2 macrophages, and motor neurons. Interestingly, in elderly subjects, both sexes display M1 macrophage activation signatures. Comparison of young and elderly signatures reveals an increased M1 macrophage percentage in young subjects. Additionally, common genes were identified in both sexes across different age groups, elucidating biological functions related to cell remodeling and immune activation.
