Protein arginylation is a posttranslational modification with an emerging global role in the regulation of actin cytoskeleton. To test the role of arginylation in the skeletal muscle, we generated a mouse model with Ate1 deletion driven by the skeletal muscle-specific creatine kinase (Ckmm) promoter. Ckmm-Ate1 mice were viable and outwardly normal; however, their skeletal muscle strength was significantly reduced in comparison to controls. Mass spectrometry of isolated skeletal myofibrils showed a limited set of proteins, including myosin heavy chain, arginylated on specific sites. Atomic force microscopy measurements of contractile strength in individual myofibrils and isolated myosin filaments from these mice showed a significant reduction of contractile forces, which, in the case of myosin filaments, could be fully rescued by rearginylation with purified Ate1. Our results demonstrate that arginylation regulates force production in muscle and exerts a direct effect on muscle strength through arginylation of myosin.

Sarcopenia with muscle wasting in hepatic cancer predicts therapeutic outcome after hepatic artery intervention.
Int J Clin Pharmacol Ther
December 2024
Objectives: We aimed to study sarcopenia for its significance in predicting the effect of hepatic artery intervention (HAI) plus lenvatinib on hepatitis B-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) complicated with diabetes mellitus (DM).
Materials And Methods: Hepatitis B-related HCC patients complicated with DM (n = 102) visiting during January 2021 and December 2023 were retrospectively selected. Computed tomography was performed to detect the third lumbar vertebra for its muscle cross-sectional area.
Effects of nocturnal snacks on body composition in patients with liver cirrhosis.

Background: Patients with liver cirrhosis are universally malnourished and the nocturnal snacks intervention is the currently recommended nutritional intervention for patients with liver cirrhosis. Body composition is an important indicator for the assessment of nutritional conditions. We investigated the effects of nocturnal snacks (200 kcal/day) for 3 months on body composition in patients with liver cirrhosis.

Excessive exercise can lead to fatigue, consequently affect exercise performance, and further have an adverse impact to human health. The synergistic effects of ginsenosides, salidroside, and syringin on improving exercise performance remain unknown. Hence, the effects of Chinese herb powder (CHP) which consisted of bioactive compounds such as ginsenosides (Rg1, Re, and Rb1), salidroside, and syringin on exercise performance, energy metabolism, tissue damage, antioxidant activity, and inflammatory cytokine were investigated in exhaustive exercise rats.

Introduction And Objective: Surface electromyography (sEMG) measurements are a valid method for sublesional muscle activity following spinal cord injury (SCI). In the literature there are few reports evaluating the effect of robotic assisted gait training (RAGT) on the sEMG properties change in SCI patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of RAGT on observed change of sEMG, and in 64 incomplete SCI patients in the sub-acute stage in relation to functional scales.
