microRNAs (miRNAs), small non-coding RNA with a length of about 22 nucleotides, are involved in the energy metabolism of skeletal muscle cells. However, their molecular mechanism of metabolism in rabbit skeletal muscle is still unclear. In this study, 16 rabbits, 8 in the control group (CON-G) and 8 in the experimental group (HFD-G), were chosen to construct an obese model induced by a high-fat diet fed from 35 to 70 days of age. Subsequently, 54 differentially expressed miRNAs, 248 differentially expressed mRNAs, and 108 differentially expressed proteins related to the metabolism of skeletal muscle were detected and analyzed with three sequencing techniques (small RNA sequencing, transcriptome sequencing, and tandem mass tab (TMT) protein technology). It was found that 12 miRNAs and 12 core genes (e.g., , and ) were significantly different in skeletal muscle from rabbits in the two groups. The network analysis showed that seven miRNA-mRNA pairs were involved in metabolism. Importantly, two miRNAs (miR-92a-3p and miR-30a/c/d-5p) regulated three transcription factors (MYBL2, STAT1 and IKZF1) that may be essential for lipid metabolism. These results enhance our understanding of molecular mechanisms associated with rabbit skeletal muscle metabolism and provide a basis for future studies in the metabolic diseases of human obesity.

Background A comprehensive assessment of skeletal muscle health is crucial to understanding the association between improved clinical outcomes and obesity as defined by body mass index (BMI; calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared) in lung cancer, but limited studies have been conducted on this topic. Purpose To investigate the association between BMI-defined obesity and survival in patients with non-small cell lung cancer who underwent curative resection, with a specific focus on the status of skeletal muscle assessed at CT. Materials and Methods This retrospective study investigated Korean patients with non-small cell lung cancer who underwent curative resection between January 2008 and December 2019.

Background: Sarcopenia, characterized by a gradual decline in skeletal muscle mass and function with age, significantly impacts both quality of life and mortality. Autophagy plays a crucial role in maintaining muscle health. There is growing interest in leveraging autophagy to mitigate muscle ageing effects.

Background: The cellular prion protein (PrP), a glycoprotein encoded by the PRNP gene, is known to modulate muscle mass and exercise capacity. However, the role of PrP in the maintenance and regeneration of skeletal muscle during ageing remains unclear.
Methods: This study investigated the change in PrP expression during muscle formation using C2C12 cells and evaluated muscle function in Prnp wild-type (WT) and knock-out (KO) mice at different ages (1, 9 and 15 months).

The skeletal system, composed of bones, muscles, joints, ligaments, and tendons, serves as the foundation for maintaining human posture, mobility, and overall biomechanical functionality. However, with ageing, chronic overuse, and acute injuries, conditions such as osteoarthritis, intervertebral disc degeneration, muscle atrophy, and ligament or tendon tears have become increasingly prevalent and pose serious clinical challenges. These disorders not only result in pain, functional loss, and a marked reduction in patients' quality of life but also impose substantial social and economic burdens.

Tunas are high-performance pelagic fishes of considerable economic importance and have a suite of biological adaptations for high-speed locomotion. In contrast to our understanding of tuna body and muscle function, mechanosensory systems of tuna are poorly understood. Here we present the discovery of a remarkable sensory lateral line canal within the bilateral tuna keels with tubules that extend to the upper and lower keel surfaces.
