In healthy individuals, physical exercise improves cardiovascular health and muscle strength, alleviates fatigue reduces the risk of chronic diseases. Although is suggested as a lifestyle intervention to manage various illnesses, it negatively affects people with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic syndrome (ME/CFS), who suffer from intolerance. We hypothesized that altered extracellular vesicle (EV) signalling in ME/CFS patients after an challenge may contribute their prolonged exacerbated negative response exertion (post-exertional malaise). EVs were isolated by size exclusion chromatography plasma 18 female 17 age- BMI-matched sedentary controls at three time points: before, 15 min, 24 h maximal cardiopulmonary test. characterized using nanoparticle tracking analysis protein cargo was quantified Tandem Mass Tag-based (TMT) proteomics.

The switch from centrosomal microtubule-organizing centers (MTOCs) to non-centrosomal MTOCs during differentiation is poorly understood. Here, we identify AKAP6 as key component of the nuclear envelope MTOC. In rat cardiomyocytes, anchors proteins through its spectrin repeats, acting an adaptor between nesprin-1α and Pcnt or AKAP9. addition, AKAP9 form a protein platform tethering Golgi nucleus. Both exhibit MTOC activity utilizing either AKAP9, Pcnt-AKAP9, respectively. also required for formation in human osteoclasts. Moreover, ectopic expression epithelial cells sufficient recruit endogenous proteins. Finally, cardiomyocyte hypertrophy osteoclast bone resorption activity.

The nuclei of multinucleated skeletal muscles experience substantial external force during development and muscle contraction. Protection from such forces is partly provided by lamins, intermediate filaments that form a scaffold lining the inner nuclear membrane. Lamins play myriad roles, including maintenance shape stability, mediation mechanoresponses, nucleo-cytoskeletal coupling. Herein, we investigate how disease-causing mutant lamins alter myonuclear properties in response to mechanical force. This was accomplished
