    Regulatory T Cells Require IL6 Receptor Alpha Signaling to Control Skeletal Muscle Function and Regeneration

    Using exercise and sarcopenia models, mice lacking IL6Rα on T cells demonstrated deficits in regulatory T cells (Tregs), their functional maturation, and a more pronounced decline in muscle mass.

    Accumulation of Endogenous Adenosine Improves Cardiomyocyte Metabolism via Epigenetic Reprogramming in an Ischemia-Reperfusion Model

    Scientists investigated the role of cellular adenosine in epigenetic regulation on cardiomyocyte gene expression, glucose metabolism and tolerance to ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). Evans blue/TTC staining and echocardiography were used to assess the extent of I/R injury in mice.

    S100a9 Inhibits Atg9a Transcription and Participates in Suppression of Autophagy in Cardiomyocytes Induced by β1-Adrenoceptor Autoantibodies

    The active immunity method was used to establish a β1-AA-induced mouse cardiac dysfunction model, and RT-PCR and western blot were used to detect changes in gene and protein expression in cardiomyocytes.

    miR-200a-3p Overexpression Alleviates Diabetic Cardiomyopathy Injury in Mice by Regulating Autophagy through the FOXO3/Mst1/Sirt3/AMPK Axis

    Researchers used db/db mice to simulate the animal model of diabetic cardiomyopathy and the expression of miR-200a-3p was then examined by RT-qPCR. Tail vein injection of mice was done with rAAV-miR-200a-3p for eight weeks, and cardiac function was assessed by cardiac ultrasound.

    The Role of Exosomal Circular RNA ZNF292 in Intermittent Hypoxia-Induced AC16 Cardiomyocytes Injury

    Exosome release inhibitor GW4869 was used to examine the effect of exosomes on intermittent hypoxia-induced AC16 cells apoptosis.

    Abstract

    KLF4 Regulates Skeletal Muscle Development and Regeneration by Directly Targeting P57 and Myomixer

    Investigators revealed that Krüppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) played a critical role in skeletal muscle development and regeneration. Specific knockout of KLF4 in skeletal muscle impaired muscle formation further affecting physical activity and also defected skeletal muscle regeneration.

    Oncometabolite D-2-Hydroxyglutarate—Dependent Metabolic Reprogramming Induces Skeletal Muscle Atrophy during Cancer Cachexia

    Based on the up-regulation of catabolism and down-regulation of anabolism, researchers showed genetic mutation-mediated metabolic reprogramming in the progression of cancer cachexia by screening for metabolites and investigating their direct effect on muscle atrophy.

    miRNA-126a Plays Important Role in Myoblast and Endothelial Cell Interaction

    Scientists identified miRNA that were up-regulated in satellite cell-derived myoblasts treated with stromal derived factor-1 (SDF-1) and/or down-regulated in cells in which the expression of CXCR4 or CXCR7, that is, SDF-1 receptors, was silenced.

    Myeloid-Derived Growth Factor Suppresses VSMC Dedifferentiation and Attenuates Postinjury Neointimal Formation in Rats by Activating S1PR2 and Its Downstream Signaling

    Researchers investigated the effect of myeloid-derived growth factor to postinjury neointimal formation and the underlying mechanisms. Rat carotid arteries balloon-injured model was established.

    Piezo Channels in Stretch Effects on Developing Human Airway Smooth Muscle

    Using 18-22-week gestation human fetal airway smooth muscle as an in vitro model, the authors tested the hypothesis that mechanosensitive Piezo channels contributed to stretch effects.

    LKB1 Delays Atherosclerosis by Inhibiting Phenotypic Transformation of Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells

    ApoE−/− mice with vascular smooth muscle cells-specific overexpression of liver kinase B1 (LKB1) were constructed by adeno-associated virus transfection technique, and then fed with a high-fat diet for eight weeks.

    Muscle: An Independent Contributor to the Neuromuscular Spinal Muscular Atrophy Disease Phenotype

    The authors discuss how survival motor neuron (SMN) protein might regulate the health of myofibers and their progenitors. They also speculate on therapeutic outcomes of failing to raise muscle SMN to healthful levels and present strategies to restore function to this tissue to ensure better treatment results.
