Aberrations in energetic metabolism and stress-related pathways contribute to pathophysiology in the Neb cKO mouse model of nemaline myopathy
Am J Pathol. 2023 Jul 6:S0002-9440(23)00240-7. doi: 10.1016/j.ajpath.2023.06.009. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNemaline myopathy (NM) is a genetically and clinically heterogeneous disease that is diagnosed based on the presence of nemaline rods on skeletal muscle biopsy. While NM has typically been classified by causative genes, disease severity or prognosis cannot be predicted well. The common pathological endpoint of nemaline rods (despite diverse genetic causes) and an unexplained range of muscle weakness suggests that shared secondary processes contributed to the pathogenesis of NM. We speculated that these processes ...

Different mouse models of nemaline myopathy harboring Acta1 mutations display differing abnormalities related to mitochondrial biology
Am J Pathol. 2023 Jul 5:S0002-9440(23)00239-0. doi: 10.1016/j.ajpath.2023.06.008. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTACTA1 encodes skeletal muscle-specific α-actin, which polymerizes to form the thin filament of the sarcomere. Mutations in ACTA1 are responsible for roughly 30% of nemaline myopathy (NM) cases. Previous studies of weakness in NM have focused on muscle structure and contractility, but genetic issues alone do not explain the phenotypic heterogeneity observed in NM patients or mouse models. To identify additional biological processes related to NM phenotypic severity, proteomic analysis was performed using muscle p...

Nemaline myopathy (NM) is a genetically and clinically heterogeneous disease that is diagnosed based on the presence of nemaline rods on skeletal muscle biopsy.

The common pathological endpoint of nemaline rods (despite diverse genetic causes) and an unexplained range of muscle weakness suggests that shared secondary processes contributed to the pathogenesis of NM. We speculated that these processes could be identified through a proteome wide interrogation utilizing a mouse model of severe NM in combination wi...

ACTA1 encodes skeletal muscle-specific α-actin, which polymerizes to form the thin filament of the sarcomere. Mutations in ACTA1 are responsible for roughly 30% of nemaline myopathy (NM) cases. Previous studies of weakness in NM have focused on muscle structure and contractility, but genetic issues alone do not explain the phenotypic he terogeneity observed in NM patients or mouse models. To identify additional biological processes related to NM phenotypic severity, proteomic analysis was performed using muscle protein isolates from wild type (WT) mice in comparison to moderately affected KI.

Megarectum: systematic histopathological evaluation of 35 patients and new common pathways in chronic rectal dilatation
Conclusions In the largest case series reported to date, we challenge the current perception of idiopathic megarectum as a primary neuromuscular disease and propose a cellular pathway model for the features present. The severe morphological changes account for some of the irreversibility of the condition and reinforce the need to prevent ongoing rectal distension when first identified.

< em > DNAJB2 < /em > c.184C & gt;T mutation associated with distal hereditary motor neuropathy with rimmed vacuolar myopathy
Clin Neuropathol. 2022 Jun 2. doi: 10.5414/NP301466. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDistal hereditary motor neuropathy (dHMN), also known as distal spinal muscular atrophy (dSMA), comprises a group of inherited peripheral neuropathies with great clinical and genetic heterogeneity, mainly characterized by progressive atrophy and weakness of distal muscle without clinical or electrophysiological sensory abnormalities. Next-generation sequencing is widely applied as an effective diagnostic technique to discover pathogenic genes in patients with dHMN. To date, at least 23 causal genes have been identified to be associated with ...
