This presentation focuses on the question of how large-scale proteomic surveys can be utilized to improve our understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms that underlie complex human disorders, such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Proteomic studies have confirmed that genetic abnormalities in the DMD gene severely affect the neuromuscular system and that loss of the cytoskeletal dystrophin protein isoform Dp427-M and concomitant reduction of its associated sarcolemmal glycoprotein complex triggers severe myofibre degeneration, chronic inflammation and reactive myofibrosis. Of note, dystrophinopathy is also characterized by multi-system pathophysiological alterations affecting especially the central nervous system, cardiorespiratory function, the kidneys and liver metabolism. Newly established proteomic biomarker signatures have the potential to enhance the comprehensive screening of these multi-system abnormalities, as well as improve differential diagnostics, prognostic evaluations, therapeutic monitoring, and the systematic identification of novel therapeutic targets to treat Duchenne muscular dystrophy. It is envisaged that the future integromic screening of muscular dystrophy would encompass the holistic integration of diverse omics-type methods, including tissue proteomics, single cell proteomics, subproteomics and biofluid proteomics.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19135,"journal":{"name":"Neuromuscular Disorders","volume":"53 ","pages":"Article 105455"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145204178","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, they are subject to motivation and ambulatory ability and provide limited information on cardiorespiratory function during physical activity. Given that the heart and respiratory muscles are involved in DMD pathology, along with the potential of emerging therapeutics to improve physical function, an assessment approach to quantify cardiorespiratory parameters in ambulatory and non-ambulatory boys is needed. We recently performed maximal effort cardiopulmonary exercise testing to measure peak heart rate (HR) and ventilation (VE), reporting it valid in 81.5% of DMD boys tested (Bomma et al, 2025). Measurement of these outcomes during submaximal exercise is commonly used to reflect physiological efficiency in other clinical populations, but has never been reported in DMD. Our current aim is to examine heart rate (HR) and ventilation (VE) relative to oxygen uptake (VO₂) during submaximal cycling and highlight their potential as physiological measures in ambulatory (A) and non-ambulatory (NA) boys with DMD. Eleven A-DMD (10±3.5 years), 3 NA-DMD (15.6±4.1 yrs) and 7 healthy controls (11±2 years) performed submaximal exercise (unloaded warm-up followed by 5 watt increments in 2-minute stages up to 15 watts) on a leg or arm ergometer (Lode Corival or Angio, the Netherlands). HR, VE and VO₂ were measured at every stage (Cosmed Quark metabolic cart), and the oxygen uptake efficiency slope (OUES) was calculated from the slope of increase in VO₂ and log VE. OUES relative to body surface area (BSA) is an objective reproducible measure of the integrated efficiency of the body to utilize oxygen for energy production during activity and is not influenced by exercise intensity (Akkerman M, et al, 2010). All A-DMD completed at least 15 watts and NA-DMD completed at least 5 watts of submaximal cycling with no adverse events. Comparison at 5 watts revealed higher exercise HR in A-DMD (133±11.6 bpm) and NA-DMD (140±24.3 bpm) compared to controls (95.2±16.8 bpm, p&lt;0.001). Similarly at higher workloads, HR was higher in DMD compared to controls at 10 watts (133.3±14.4 versus 96.5±17.4 bpm, p&lt;0.01) and 15 watts (145.4±16.9 versus 101.3±18.3 bpm, p&lt;0.01). The OUES/BSA was lower in A-DMD and NA-DMD compared to controls (1530.0±195; 963.1±178; 645.1±285.0 ml/L/m² respectively p&lt;0.0001), reflecting a hyperventilatory response to oxygen uptake and inefficiency of aerobic metabolism. Our findings reveal that boys with DMD demonstrate high HR and ventilatory responses during submaximal exercise, which reflect inefficient physiological responses to the increasing demands of exercise. Our data support the use of submaximal HR and OUES/BSA to elucidate cardiorespiratory limitations relating to disease severity and determine whether therapeutics improve these inefficiencies in A and NA-DMD.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19135,"journal":{"name":"Neuromuscular Disorders","volume":"53 ","pages":"Article 105523"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145204263","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, ICI can cause life-threatening immune-related adverse events (irAEs) with myositis being among the most prevalent neurological side-effects with dismal prognosis especially if associated with myocarditis. In 2018, we described the first series of patients highlighting clinicopathological features of immune checkpoint inhibitor-induced myositis. Those myopathological characteristics consisted of necrotic myofibers with a diffuse distribution and focal clusters as well as endomysial lymphomonocytic infiltrates. Others described patterns consisting of a perimysial pathology. A transcriptomic profiling-based study revealed three subgroups of ICI induced-myositis, consisting of ICI-DM, ICI-MYO1 and ICI-MYO2. The ICI-DM subgroup was accompanied by dermatomyositis features like a type I interferon signature and typical autoantibodies (anti-TIF1ɣ), while ICI-MYO1 patients had highly inflammatory features and myocarditis with dismal prognosis and ICI-MYO2 patients had mild necrotizing myositis. Here, we report on two additional myopathological patterns that have not yet been described either morphologically or by transcriptomic profiling, namely antisynthetase syndrome (ASyS)-like and immune myopathy with abundant macrophages (IMAM)-like morphology. In ASyS-like ICI-myositis we could detect MHC class I and II expression on myofibers but without complement deposition on fibers and necrotic fibers. Furthermore, macrophages but also CD8-positive T cells are detectable in the peri- and endomysium. In IMAM-like ICI-myositis we found strong MHC class II and strong, but less pronounced MHC class I sarcoplasmatic expression with massively endo- and perimysial infiltration of macrophages, myophagocytosis as well as focal necrotic fibers. The subtype was clinically correlating with very severe rhabdomyolysis and tetraparesis. The two new identified subtypes illustrate the key role of morphological analysis of ICI-myositis patients. Precise identification of the entire spectrum of myositis that can occur after/during treatment with ICIs is important to further evaluate pathogenetic hypotheses and improve clinical management, as depending on the subtype, initiation of treatment might be necessary even more rapidly and aggressively.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19135,"journal":{"name":"Neuromuscular Disorders","volume":"53 ","pages":"Article 105487"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145204346","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In aging and muscle diseases myofiber undergo alterations such as atrophy, regeneration, and inflammation. In Inclusion Body Myositis (IBM), an adult-onset condition, muscle weakness is accompanied by immune cells infiltration and the presence of regenerating myofibers. The molecular mechanisms underlying myofiber alterations to regenerating or inflamed states is poorly understood. We applied Laser-Capture Microdissection (LCM) mass spectrometry on immunostained cryosections of the vastus lateralis to identify protein networks and molecular signatures associated with IBM histopathology. Comparing IBM to control muscles, we observed downregulation of muscle and mitochondrial protein networks and upregulation of immune-related proteins, consistent with muscle weakness and inflammation in IBM. Analysis of myofiber specific signatures revealed that inflamed myofibers had limited similarities with centrally nucleated myofibers and embryonic myosin heavy chain (eMyHC) positive fibers, which were more similar to each other. Unique to each myofiber region we found proteins related to protein folding enriched in centrally nucleated fibers, while protein associated with granulation and the proteasome were enriched in both eMyHC positive myofiber and centrally nucleated myofibers. Additionally, aggregation-prone proteins were significantly enriched in IBM and inflamed myofibers. Overall, this study identifies myofiber-specific molecular signatures in IBM and highlights aggregation-prone proteins providing new insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying myofiber alteration.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19135,"journal":{"name":"Neuromuscular Disorders","volume":"53 ","pages":"Article 105500"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145204391","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
