Early onset of inflammation and later involvement of TGFβ in Duchenne muscular dystrophy
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To identify stage-specific induction of molecular pathology pathways in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). METHODS: We performed mRNA profiling using muscles from fetopsies, infants (aged 8 to 10 months), and symptomatic patients (aged 5 to 12 years) with DMD, and age- and sex-matched controls. We performed immunohistochemistry to determine changes at the protein level and protein localization. RESULTS: Activated tissue dendritic cells, expression of toll-like receptor 7, and strong induction of nuclear factor-kappaB pathways occurred soon after birth in DMD muscle. Two muscle wasting pathways, atrogin-1 and myostatin, were not induced at any stage of the disease. Normal muscle showed accumulation of glycolytic and oxidative metabolism capacity with increased age, but this accumulation failed in DMD. The transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta pathway was strongly induced in symptomatic patients, with expression of TGFbeta type II receptor and apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 proteins on subsets of mature DMD myofibers. CONCLUSIONS: Our data show stage-specific remodeling of human dystrophin-deficient muscle, with inflammatory pathways predominating in the presymptomatic stages and acute activation of TGFbeta and failure of metabolic pathways later in the disease.

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.
