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

Mikhail V. Dubinin et al.

Summary: Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is caused by the absence of dystrophin protein and a properly functioning dystrophin-associated protein complex (DAPC) in muscle cells, which leads to significant changes in ion channel functioning and ion homeostasis regulation. This review analyzes current data on the structure, functioning, and regulation of ion channels in striated muscles in DMD, and discusses their contribution to muscle dysfunction and pathology. The review also explores the potential of therapy targeting sarcolemma and organelle channels for correcting and alleviating DMD pathology, as well as the challenges in interpreting data from dystrophin-deficient models.

The study compared the qualitative and quantitative performance of two commonly used proteomics techniques, label-free shotgun and 2D-DIGE, using six technical and three biological replicates of the human prostate carcinoma cell line DU145. The results showed that label-free shotgun quickly provides an annotated proteome but with reduced robustness compared to 2D-DIGE, which offers qualitative and quantitative information on proteoforms and post-translational modifications. However, the 2D-DIGE technique requires more time and manual work. Ultimately, this work highlights the different outputs and applications of these two techniques for biological research.

Disrupted Calcium Homeostasis in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy: A Common Mechanism behind Diverse Consequences

Barbara Zablocka et al.

Summary: Duchenne muscular dystrophy is caused by mutations in the DMD gene, leading to the loss of full-length dystrophin and resulting in muscle degeneration, neuropsychological impairment, and bone deformities. Abnormalities in calcium homeostasis are a common feature of this disease, playing a fundamental role in the various abnormalities associated with DMD.

A systematic review of pharmacologic therapies for the cardiomyopathy of Duchenne muscular dystrophy

Jasmine Kipke et al.

Summary: The study found that there is still controversy regarding pharmacologic therapies for the cardiomyopathy of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), specifically whether ACEI, BB, or their combination can improve left ventricular function or alter the progressive decline of left ventricular function. For symptomatic class IV heart failure patients, initiating therapy with ACEI and BB can lead to temporary improvement in symptoms and left ventricular ejection fraction. Aldosterone antagonists may slow the rate of decline of left ventricular function in young DMD patients.

Summary: Duchenne muscular dystrophy is caused by dystrophin deficiency, leading to downstream pathophysiological pathways that drive disability. Dystrophin replacement strategies may trigger these pathways, so combination therapies targeting multiple downstream pathways are crucial. Blood biomarkers could be used to assess drug combinations for treating DMD in both mouse models and human studies.

Summary: In this study, the protective role of periostin, a matricellular protein, in skeletal muscle regeneration was identified. Periostin-null mice showed decreased muscle weight due to the loss of muscle fibers during repeated muscle regeneration. The decrease in CD31-positive blood vessels during muscle regeneration in periostin-null mice suggests that the decreased nutritional supply may be the cause of muscle fiber loss.

Efficient precise in vivo base editing in adult dystrophic mice

Summary: Recent advances in base editing have allowed for precise correction of disease-causing mutations, but challenges remain in terms of the size of base editors and their off-target activities, as well as the requirement for a specific protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) nearby the mutation site. This study successfully modified an NG-targeting adenine base editor to overcome these challenges and demonstrated its high efficiency in editing a Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) mutation in adult mice, showing promising results with systemic delivery. The authors' approach shows potential for the treatment of monogenic diseases using base editing techniques, addressing limitations in targeting feasibility and packaging capacity.
