Abstract

Syndecan-3 and syndecan-4 function as coreceptors for tyrosine kinases and in cell adhesion. Syndecan-3-/- mice exhibit a novel form of muscular dystrophy characterized by impaired locomotion, fibrosis, and hyperplasia of myonuclei and satellite cells. Explanted syndecan-3-/- satellite cells mislocalize MyoD, differentiate aberrantly, and exhibit a general increase in overall tyrosine phosphorylation. Following induced regeneration, the hyperplastic phenotype is recapitulated. While there are fewer apparent defects in syndecan-4-/- muscle, explanted satellite cells are deficient in activation, proliferation, MyoD expression, myotube fusion, and differentiation. Further, syndecan-4-/- satellite cells fail to reconstitute damaged muscle, suggesting a unique requirement for syndecan-4 in satellite cell function.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Skeletal muscle has substantial regenerative capacity because of adult muscle stem cells, also called satellite cells, which are important for postnatal muscle growth and repair.

    “skeletal muscle harbors considerable regenerative capacity due to the presence of adult muscle stem cells (MuSC), also known as satellite cells, which play a major role in postnatal muscle growth and repair (Collins et al., 2005; Cornelison et al., 2004; Kuang et al., 2007; Montarras et al., 2005; Sacco et al., 2008).”
  • Sdc4 is expressed in SCs and is required for SC activation.

    “Syndecan-4 (Sdc4) is expressed in SCs and is required for SC activation21,22, but a role for Sdc4 in myofibers remains elusive.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
