BAG3-related myofibrillar myopathy: a further observation with cardiomyopathy at onset in pediatric age.

Authors:
Gaia Scarpini Maria Lucia Valentino Melania Giannotta Luca Ragni Annalaura Torella Marta Columbaro Vincenzo Nigro Antonella Pini

Myofibrillar myopathies are a heterogeneous group of neuromuscular disorders characterized by degeneration of Z-disk, causing the disintegration of myofibrils. They may be caused by mutations in different genes, among these, the BAG3 gene (Bcl-2 associed-athanogene-3) encodes a multidomain protein that plays an important role in many cellular processes. We report the case of a 16-year-old male who at 4 years of age presented with a hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, then developed axonal sensory motor polyneuropathy, muscle weakness, rigid spine, severe kyphoscoliosis and respiratory failure. Muscle biopsy showed the typical hallmark of myofibrillar myopathy with abnormal cytoplasmic expression of multiple proteins. Ade novo heterozygous common mutation in the BAG3 gene with a c.626C > T (p.Pro209Leu) was discovered on NGS genetic analysis. Mutations in the BAG3 gene are causes of a severe and progressive condition and natural history data are important to be collected. An early diagnosis is critical for prognostic implications in cardiomyopathy and respiratory failure treatment.

Constraints on the utilization of cereal straw in lactating dairy cows: A review from the perspective of systems biology.

Authors:
Bing Wang Huizeng Sun Diming Wang Hongyun Liu Jianxin Liu

Anim Nutr 2022 Jun 1;9:240-248. Epub 2022 Feb 1.

Institute of Dairy Science, MoE Key Laboratory of Molecular Animal Nutrition, College of Animal Sciences, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China.

Cereal straw, a human inedible crop byproduct, can be used as a roughage source in ruminants. However, the nutrition density and palatability are very low, limiting its efficient utilization in animal production. This review aims to systematically provide an overview of the limitations of cereal straws, which is crucial for developing new strategies to enhance the efficient use of cereal straws by lactating dairy cows.

Department of Urology Surgery, The Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University, Hohhot 010050, China. Electronic address:

Background: To explore the role of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) cytoskeleton regulator RNA (CYTOR) in renal cell carcinoma (RCC).

Methods: The levels of CYTOR in RCC tissues and cell lines were detected by RT-qPCR. 786-O and Caki-1 cells were transfected with CYTOR-shRNA or pcDNA-CYTOR respectively, or co-transfected with CYTOR-shRNA and miR-136-5p inhibitor, or co-transfected with miR-136-5p mimic and pcDNA-MAT2B. Read More

Cytoplasmic proteotoxicity regulates HRI-dependent phosphorylation of eIF2α via the Hsp70-Bag3 module.

Authors:
Shivani Patel Santosh Kumar Simone Baldan Arkadi Hesin Julia Yaglom Michael Y Sherman

iScience 2022 May 22;25(5):104282. Epub 2022 Apr 22.

Laboratory of Cancer Biology, Department of Molecular Biology, Ariel University, Ariel, 40700, Israel.

The major heat shock protein Hsp70 forms a complex with a scaffold protein Bag3 that links it to components of signaling pathways. Via these interactions, the Hsp70-Bag3 module functions as a proteotoxicity sensor that controls cell signaling. Here, to search for pathways regulated by the complex, we utilized JG-98, an allosteric inhibitor of Hsp70 that blocks its interaction with Bag3. Read More

Institute of Health Service and Transfusion Medicine, Beijing, 100850, People's Republic of China.

Adenocarcinoma of the pancreas (PAAD) is a cancerous growth that deteriorates rapidly and has a poor prognosis. Researchers are investigating autophagy in PAAD to identify a new biomarker and treatment target. An autophagy-related gene (ARG) model for overall survival (OS) was constructed using multivariate Cox regression analyses. Read More

An F0-based genetic assay in adult zebrafish for discovering modifier genes of an inherited cardiomyopathy.

Dis Model Mech 2022 Apr 28. Epub 2022 Apr 28.

Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, USA.

Modifier genes contribute significantly to our understanding of pathophysiology in human diseases; however, effective approaches to identify modifier genes have been lacking. Here, we aim to develop a rapid F0-based genetic assay in adult zebrafish using the bag3 gene knockout (bag3e2/e2) cardiomyopathy model as a paradigm. First, utilizing a classic genetic breeding approach, we identified dnajb6b as a deleterious modifier gene for bag3 cardiomyopathy. Read More
