Lamin A/C is a major component of the nuclear lamina. An intact nuclear lamina has been proposed to be necessary for muscle differentiation. Cyclin D3 is known to be upregulated in differentiated muscle cells and to form insoluble complexes with cell-cycle regulatory factors in these cells. We have examined the possibility of direct binding interactions between lamin A/C and cyclin D3 by in vitro binding assays and co-immunoprecipitation studies with muscle cells. Our results indicate that cyclin D3 binds specifically to amino acid residues 383-474 of lamin A/C and associates with lamin A/C in muscle cells. The identification of cyclin D3 as a novel binding partner of lamin A/C has important implications for a role for lamin A/C in muscle differentiation.

Purpose Of Review: This review aims to explore how a diagnosis of LMNA-related cardiomyopathy (LMNA-CM) informs clinical management, focusing on the prevention and management of its complications, through practical clinical strategies.
Recent Findings: Longitudinal studies have enhanced our understanding of the natural history of LMNA-CM including its arrhythmic and non-arrhythmic complications. A LMNA specific ventricular arrhythmia risk prediction strategy has been integrated into clinical practice guidelines.

Cardiotoxic effect of Doxorubicin (Dox) limits its clinical application. Previously, we reported that Dox induces phosphorylation of lamin A/C (pS22 lamin A/C), increased nuclear size, damage to the nuclear membrane, and cell death. However, the activation of signalling pathway during this event remains elusive, and it is unclear whether increased phospho-lamin A/C activates the cell death pathway in heart.

The pathophysiology of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM), previously known as arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC), and its specific biological features remain poorly understood. High-throughput plasma proteomic profiling, a powerful tool for gaining insights into disease pathophysiology at the systems biology level, has not been used to study ACM. This study aimed at characterizing plasmatic protein changes in patients with ACM, which were compared with those of healthy controls, and at exploring the potential role of the identified proteins as biomarkers for diagnosis and monitoring.

Lamins, which are crucial type V intermediate filament proteins found in the nuclear lamina, are essential for maintaining the stability and function of the nucleus in higher vertebrates. They are classified into A- and B-types, and their distinct expression patterns contribute to cellular survival, development, and functionality. Lamins emerged during the transition from open to closed mitosis, with their complexity increasing alongside organism evolution.

Physical models of cell motility rely mostly on cytoskeletal dynamical assembly. However, when cells move through the complex 3D environment of living tissues, they have to squeeze their nucleus that is stiffer than the rest of the cell. The lamin network, organised as a shell right underneath the nuclear membrane, contributes to the nuclear integrity and stiffness.
