Alisporivir Improves Mitochondrial Function in Skeletal Muscle of mdx Mice but Suppresses Mitochondrial Dynamics and Biogenesis.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of intraperitoneal administration of a non-immunosuppressive inhibitor of calcium-dependent mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) pore alisporivir on the state of skeletal muscles and the functioning of mitochondria in dystrophin-deficient mdx mice was studied.
Journal ArticleDOI

BKCa Activator NS1619 Improves the Structure and Function of Skeletal Muscle Mitochondria in Duchenne Dystrophy

TL;DR: In this paper , the role of the BKCa activator NS1619 in the development of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) was examined in dystrophin-deficient mdx mice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterisation of Progressive Skeletal Muscle Fibrosis in the Mdx Mouse Model of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy: An In Vivo and In Vitro Study

TL;DR: Fibrosis mostly affects diaphragm and quadriceps with a higher collagen cross-linking and inhibition of MMPs that contribute differently to progressive collagen accumulation during fibrotic remodelling, which may provide new targets for tailored therapeutic interventions.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Effect of Uridine on the State of Skeletal Muscles and the Functioning of Mitochondria in Duchenne Dystrophy

TL;DR: It is found that chronic uridine administration reduced fibrosis in the skeletal muscles of mdx mice, but it had no effect on the intensity of degeneration/regeneration cycles and inflammation, pseudohypetrophy, and muscle strength of the animals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ion Channels of the Sarcolemma and Intracellular Organelles in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy: A Role in the Dysregulation of Ion Homeostasis and a Possible Target for Therapy

TL;DR: In this paper , a review is devoted to the analysis of current data on changes in the structure, functioning, and regulation of the activity of ion channels in striated muscles in DMD and their contribution to the disruption of muscle function and the development of pathology.

Muscle-specific Drp1 overexpression impairs skeletal muscle growth via translational attenuation

TL;DR: It is found that Drp1 overexpression activates the stress-induced PKR/eIF2α/Fgf21 pathway thus leading to an attenuated protein synthesis and downregulation of the growth hormone pathway, revealing for the first time how mitochondrial network dynamics influence muscle growth.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hypertrophic response of Duchenne and limb-girdle muscular dystrophies is associated with activation of Akt pathway.

TL;DR: It is proposed that Akt may serve as an early biomarker of disease and thatAkt activation mediates hypertrophy in muscular dystrophy and how early modification of Akt activity influences disease pathogenesis is investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multiple pathological events in exercised dystrophic mdx mice are targeted by pentoxifylline: outcome of a large array of in vivo and ex vivo tests

TL;DR: In vivo and ex vivo, pentoxifylline restored the mechanical threshold, an electrophysiological index of calcium homeostasis, and reduced resting cytosolic calcium in extensor digitorum longus muscle fibers and allows insight in the level of cross talk between pathogenetic events in workloaded dystrophic muscle.
Journal ArticleDOI

Resveratrol induces expression of the slow, oxidative phenotype in mdx mouse muscle together with enhanced activity of the SIRT1-PGC-1α axis

TL;DR: This study demonstrates that RSV can stimulate SIRT1 and PGC-1α activation, which in turn may promote expression of the slow, oxidative myogenic program in mdx mouse muscle, and highlights the importance of selecting an appropriate dosage regimen of RSV to maximize its potential therapeutic effectiveness for future application in DMD patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Early myopathy in Duchenne muscular dystrophy is associated with elevated mitochondrial H 2 O 2 emission during impaired oxidative phosphorylation.

TL;DR: This study performed a systematic evaluation of the nature and degree of mitochondrial‐derived H2O2 emission and mitochondrial oxidative dysfunction in a mouse model of DMD by designing in vitro bioenergetic assessments that attempt to mimic in vivo conditions known to be critical for the regulation of mitochondrial bioenergetics.
