Increased desmin expression in hindlimb muscles of aging rats.

Journal of cachexia, sarcopenia and muscle

Russ DW, Grandy JS.
PMID: 21966643
J Cachexia Sarcopenia Muscle. 2011 Sep;2(3):175-180. doi: 10.1007/s13539-011-0033-7. Epub 2011 Jul 07.

BACKGROUND: Aging skeletal muscle frequently exhibits a reduction in force produced per unit muscle tissue, variously termed muscle quality, specific tension or dynapenia. Muscles from animals in which desmin expression is reduced exhibit similar properties, raising the possibility that...

Roles for Ndel1 in keratin organization and desmosome function.

Molecular biology of the cell

Kim YB, Hlavaty D, Maycock J, Lechler T.
PMID: 34319758
Mol Biol Cell. 2021 Oct 01;32(20):ar2. doi: 10.1091/mbc.E21-02-0087. Epub 2021 Jul 28.

Keratin intermediate filaments form dynamic polymer networks that organize in specific ways dependent on the cell type, the stage of the cell cycle, and the state of the cell. In differentiated cells of the epidermis, they are organized by...

Posttranslational modifications of the cytoskeleton.

Cytoskeleton (Hoboken, N.J.)

MacTaggart B, Kashina A.
PMID: 34152688
Cytoskeleton (Hoboken). 2021 Apr;78(4):142-173. doi: 10.1002/cm.21679. Epub 2021 Jul 02.

The cytoskeleton plays important roles in many essential processes at the cellular and organismal levels, including cell migration and motility, cell division, and the establishment and maintenance of cell and tissue architecture. In order to facilitate these varied functions,...

Expression of CCDC85C, a causative protein for hydrocephalus, and intermediate filament proteins during lateral ventricle development in rats.

Experimental animals

Hasan MM, Konishi S, Tanaka M, Izawa T, Yamate J, Kuwamura M.
PMID: 34657927
Exp Anim. 2021 Oct 18; doi: 10.1538/expanim.21-0132. Epub 2021 Oct 18.

Coiled-coil domain containing 85c (Ccdc85c) is a causative gene for genetic hydrocephalus and subcortical heterotopia with frequent brain hemorrhage. In the present study, we examined the expression pattern of CCDC85C protein and intermediate filament proteins, such as nestin, vimentin,...

Reduction of cytochemical ecto-ATPase activities in keratin 8-deficient FVB/N mouse livers.

Medical electron microscopy : official journal of the Clinical Electron Microscopy Society of Japan

Satoh MI, Hovington H, Cadrin M.
PMID: 11810447
Med Electron Microsc. 1999 Dec;32(4):209-212. doi: 10.1007/s007959900003.

Keratin 8 (K8) and keratin 18 are the intermediate filament proteins that are expressed in hepatocytes. A K8-deficient FVB/N mouse is a unique animal model for assessing the contribution of keratin intermediate filaments (IFs) to the structural and functional...

The non-muscle ADF/cofilin-1 controls sarcomeric actin filament integrity and force production in striated muscle laminopathies.

Cell reports

Vignier N, Chatzifrangkeskou M, Pinton L, Wioland H, Marais T, Lemaitre M, Le Dour C, Peccate C, Cardoso D, Schmitt A, Wu W, Biferi MG, Naouar N, Macquart C, Beuvin M, Decostre V, Bonne G, Romet-Lemonne G, Worman HJ, Tedesco FS, Jégou A, Muchir A.
PMID: 34433058
Cell Rep. 2021 Aug 24;36(8):109601. doi: 10.1016/j.celrep.2021.109601.

Cofilins are important for the regulation of the actin cytoskeleton, sarcomere organization, and force production. The role of cofilin-1, the non-muscle-specific isoform, in muscle function remains unclear. Mutations in LMNA encoding A-type lamins, intermediate filament proteins of the nuclear...

Emerging issues with the current keratin-associated protein nomenclature.

International journal of trichology

Gong H, Zhou H, McKenzie GW, Hickford JG, Yu Z, Clerens S, Dyer JM, Plowman JE.
PMID: 21712897
Int J Trichology. 2010 Jul;2(2):104-5. doi: 10.4103/0974-7753.77519.

Keratin associated proteins (KAPs) are a class of proteins that associate with keratin intermediate filament proteins through disulphide linkages to give fibres such as hair and wool their unique properties. Up to 90 proteins from some 25 families have...

Immunolocalisation of intermediate filament proteins in porcine meat. Fibre type and muscle-specific variations during conditioning.

Meat science

Morrison EH, Mielche MM, Purslow PP.
PMID: 22060812
Meat Sci. 1998 Sep;50(1):91-104. doi: 10.1016/S0309-1740(98)00019-9.

Two intermediate filament proteins, desmin and vinculin, were immunofluorescently localised in porcine longissimus dorsi(∗∗) and iliocostalis muscles up to 7 days post mortem. Changes in tenderness of the m. longissimus and the water-holding capacity of both muscles were also...

Inhibition of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 signaling has beneficial effects on skeletal muscle in a mouse model of Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy caused by lamin A/C gene mutation.

Skeletal muscle

Muchir A, Kim YJ, Reilly SA, Wu W, Choi JC, Worman HJ.
PMID: 23815988
Skelet Muscle. 2013 Jul 01;3(1):17. doi: 10.1186/2044-5040-3-17.

BACKGROUND: Autosomal Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy is caused by mutations in the lamin A/C gene (LMNA) encoding A-type nuclear lamins, intermediate filament proteins of the nuclear envelope. Classically, the disease manifests as scapulo-humeroperoneal muscle wasting and weakness, early joint contractures...

Circulating CYFRA 21-1 is a Specific Diagnostic and Prognostic Biomarker in Biliary Tract Cancer.

Journal of clinical and experimental hepatology
