Excessive accumulation of intermuscular adipose tissue (IMAT) is a common pathological feature in various metabolic and health conditions can cause muscle atrophy, reduced function, inflammation, insulin resistance, cardiovascular issues, unhealthy aging. Although IMAT results from fat muscle, the mechanisms underlying its onset, development, cellular components, functions remain unclear. levels are influenced by several factors, such as changes environment, type origin, extent duration trauma, persistent activation fibro-adipogenic progenitors (FAPs). FAPs diverse transcriptionally heterogeneous population stromal cells essential for maintenance, neuromuscular stability, regeneration. However, cases chronic inflammation conditions, expand differentiate into adipocytes, resulting development abnormal ectopic IMAT. This review discusses role adipogenesis how they remodel It highlights evidence supporting FAP-derived adipocytes constituents IMAT, emphasizing their significance maintenance well involvement disorders, pathologies diseases. We also investigated intricate molecular pathways cell interactions governing FAP behavior, adipogenesis, diseases deconditioning. Finally, we hypothesize that impaired flexibility dysfunctional muscles impacts FAPs, leading to A deeper understanding biology regulating behavior fate new therapeutic strategies debilitating conditions.

Unraveling the causes of sarcopenia: Roles of neuromuscular junction impairment and mitochondrial dysfunction

Physiological Reports, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 12(1)

Опубликована: Янв. 1, 2024

Abstract Sarcopenia is a systemic skeletal muscle disease characterized by decline in mass and function. Originally defined as an age‐associated condition, sarcopenia presently also encompasses muscular atrophy due to various pathological factors, such intensive care unit‐acquired weakness, inactivity, malnutrition. The exact pathogenesis of still unknown; herein, we review the roles neuromuscular junction mitochondria this condition. caused complex interdependent pathophysiological mechanisms, including aging, impairment, mitochondrial dysfunction, insulin resistance, lipotoxicity, endocrine oxidative stress, inflammation. Among these, instability dysfunction are particularly significant. Dysfunction can lead weakness or paralysis. Mitochondria, which plentiful neurons fibers, play important role transmission. Therefore, impairments both may be one key mechanisms leading sarcopenia. Moreover, article explores structural functional alterations sarcopenia, suggesting that deeper understanding these changes could provide valuable insights for prevention treatment

Breast cancer (BC) stands out as the most commonly type of diagnosed in women worldwide, and chemotherapy, a key component treatment, exacerbates cancer-induced skeletal muscle wasting, contributing to adverse health outcomes. Notably, impact chemotherapy on seems surpass that itself, with inflammation identified common trigger for wasting both contexts. In muscle, pro-inflammatory cytokines modulate pathways crucial delicate balance between protein synthesis breakdown, well satellite cell activation myonuclear accretion. Physical exercise consistently emerges therapeutic strategy counteract chemotherapy-induced ultimately enhancing patients’ quality life. However, “one size fits all” approach does not apply prescription BC patients, factors such age, menopause comorbidities influencing response exercise. Hence, tailored regimens, considering duration, frequency, intensity, type, are essential maximize efficacy mitigating improving disease Despite well-established anti-inflammatory role aerobic exercise, resistance proves equally or more beneficial terms mass strength gain, This review comprehensively explores molecular affected by distinct regimens patients during providing critical insights precise implementation prevent wasting.

Cancer is a major global health issue, and exercise has become key supportive treatment. It contributes to reducing cancer risk, enhancing prognosis, aiding recovery, especially for survivors. However, the exact mechanisms, such as how reduces risk or enhances treatment, are still unclear. Current research often focuses on specific types, ignoring diverse needs of patients.

Abstract This study investigated whether performing a translatable murine model of concurrent training after tumour induction affects adaptations in juvenile male and female tumour‐bearing mice. Male Balb/c mice were injected bilaterally with colon‐26 adenocarcinoma (C26) cells or PBS at 8 weeks age. Half the then performed 24 days voluntary wheel running progressively increased load (PoWeR training), whereas rest remained sedentary. Deuterium oxide‐based protein synthesis, muscle fibre‐type composition size, turnover mitochondrial markers assessed 25 induction. Average gastrocnemius fibre size was smaller PoWeR regardless males females, concomitant pronounced faster‐to‐slower transition. In mice, resulted greater Redd1 , Murf1 Pgc1α mRNA content than all other groups, along lower overall volume, food consumption synthesis relative to control animals. Molecular measures followed similar pattern PoWeR, but consumption, volume maintained. lowered gonadal fat during cancer cachexia both sexes, heart weight observed presence. A negative correlation found between distance. Collectively, has effect on cellular phenotype sexes presence, present despite molecular dysregulation.

Radiation-induced muscle pathology, characterized by atrophy and fibrotic tissue accumulation, is the most common debilitating late effect of therapeutic radiation exposure particularly in juvenile cancer survivors. In healthy muscle, fibro/adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) are required for maintenance regeneration, while pathology FAPs precursors exacerbated extracellular matrix deposition. However, role radiation-induced has not previously been explored.Four-week-old Male CBA or C57Bl/6J mice received a single dose (16 Gy) irradiation (IR) to hindlimb with shielded contralateral limb (CLTR) serving as non-IR control. Mice were sacrificed 3, 7, 14 (acute IR response), 56 days post-IR (long-term response). Changes skeletal morphology, myofibre composition, niche cellular dynamics, DNA damage, proliferation, mitochondrial respiration, metabolism changes progenitor cell fate where assessed.Juvenile resulted smaller cross-sectional area, type I IIA myofibres (P < 0.05) reduced proportion 0.05).

Background Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common pediatric soft-tissue malignancy, characterized by high clinicalopathological and molecular heterogeneity. Preclinical in vivo models are essential for advancing our understanding of RMS oncobiology developing novel treatment strategies. However, diversity scholarly data on preclinical studies may challenge scientists clinicians. Hence, we performed a systematic literature survey contemporary mouse to characterize their phenotypes assess translational relevance. Methods We identified papers published between 01/07/2018 01/07/2023 searching PubMed Web Science databases. Results Out 713 records screened, 118 (26.9%) were included qualitative synthesis. Cell line-derived xenografts (CDX) commonly utilized (n = 75, 63.6%), followed patient-derived (PDX) syngeneic models, each accounting 11.9% 14), genetically engineered (GEMM) 7, 5.9%).
