p53 regulates skeletal muscle mitophagy and mitochondrial quality control following denervation-induced muscle disuse

Jonathan M. Memme et al.

Summary: Persistent inactivity promotes skeletal muscle atrophy, and p53, a factor known to regulate mitochondria in cellular stress, has been explored for its role in muscle disuse. This study shows that p53 contributes to organellar maintenance by regulating mitochondrial quality control (MQC) pathways during muscle atrophy, and p53 ablation exacerbates mitochondrial dysfunction.

Functional regeneration of the murine neuromuscular synapse relies on long-lasting morphological adaptations

Francisca Bermedo-Garcia et al.

Summary: Research shows that reversible nerve damage leaves a long-lasting impact on the NMJ, resulting in rearrangement of its cellular components. These features actually represent an efficient adaptive response for functional recovery.

Inhibition of prostaglandin-degrading enzyme 15-PGDH rejuvenates aged muscle mass and strength

A. R. Palla et al.

Summary: The study found that muscle atrophy in aged mice is mainly due to the increase of 15-PGDH leading to the decrease in PGE(2) signaling, while inhibition of 15-PGDH can increase the quality, strength, and exercise performance of aged muscle.

Single-cell transcriptomic analysis of the adult mouse spinal cord reveals molecular diversity of autonomic and skeletal motor neurons

Jacob A. Blum et al.

Summary: This study analyzed single-nucleus transcriptomes from the adult mouse spinal cord, revealing heterogeneity in skeletal motor neurons and identifying a novel transcriptional subpopulation. The data provide important insights into investigating the molecular logic of adult motor neuron diversity and the cellular and molecular basis of motor neuron function in health and disease.

Neuromuscular Development and Disease: Learning From in vitro and in vivo Models

Zachary Fralish et al.

Summary: The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is a crucial interface between motor neurons and skeletal muscle fibers that is essential for motor function. This review discusses the development of in vitro models of human NMJs derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) and compares the efficacy of modeling neuromuscular diseases (NMDs) in animals and cell culture systems. Further research is needed to develop effective personalized NMD platforms using hiPSC-derived NMJ models.

Muscle-nerve communication and the molecular assessment of human skeletal muscle denervation with aging

Casper Soendenbroe et al.

Summary: This article discusses the impact of motor neuron denervation on physical function decline with age, emphasizing the importance of physical activity in preserving neuromuscular function. Research suggests that inactivity is not just a bystander, but plays an active role in denervation by producing signals hostile to neuron survival.

Mechanism of disease and therapeutic rescue of Dok7 congenital myasthenia

Julien Oury et al.

Summary: Congenital myasthenia is a devastating neuromuscular disease caused by mutations in DOK7 gene, which is crucial for neuromuscular synapse formation. The most common disease-causing mutation truncates DOK7, leading to loss of phosphorylated tyrosine residues essential for acetylcholine receptor anchoring. Studies on mouse models identified a severe deficiency in muscle-specific kinase activation as the cause of deficits, and antibody treatment against MUSK showed potential therapy for CM.

Survival motor neuron deficiency slows myoblast fusion through reduced myomaker and myomixer expression

Nikki M. McCormack et al.

Summary: This study found reduced expression of muscle fusion proteins as a key factor in the fusion deficits of SMN-deficient myoblasts. Ectopic expression of the fusion protein myomixer improved myofibre number and motor function in SMA model mice. Targeting muscle fusion proteins could enhance clinical outcomes for SMA patients in combination with SMN increasing therapy.

GADD45A is a protective modifier of neurogenic skeletal muscle atrophy

Jeffrey T. Ehmsen et al.

Summary: The GADD45A gene shows an early and sustained increase in expression in atrophying skeletal muscle after denervation, potentially playing a protective role in neurogenic muscle atrophy instead of directly contributing to muscle loss. Further research into the downstream effectors and pathways involved in this protective response could lead to new strategies for modifying the progression of muscle atrophy.
