A hallmark of several major neurological diseases is neuronal cell death. In addition to this primary pathology, secondary injury is seen in connected brain regions in which neurons not directly affected by the disease are denervated. These transneuronal effects on the network contribute considerably to the clinical symptoms. Since denervated neurons are viable, they are attractive targets for ...
The TWEAK–Fn14 system is a critical regulator of denervation-induced skeletal muscle atrophy in mice
Skeletal muscle atrophy occurs in a variety of clinical settings, including cachexia, disuse, and denervation. Inflammatory cytokines have been shown to be mediators of cancer cachexia; however, the role of cytokines in denervation- and immobilization-induced skeletal muscle loss remains unknown. In this study, we demonstrate that a single cytokine, TNF-like weak inducer of apoptosis (TWEAK), m...
The hepatoportal area is an important glucohomeostatic metabolic sensor, sensing hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, and hormones such as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). We have reported previously that activation of hepatoportal sensors by intraportal infusion of glucose and GLP-1 or by subcutaneous administration of GLP-1 receptor activator exenatide and of intraportal glucose improved glycemia ind...
Soon after denervation, skeletal muscle undergoes ultrastructural and molecular changes that ultimately lead to muscle atrophy and cell death. Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is effective in preventing the atrophy of denervated muscles, but it is unclear whether FES can prevent the progression of ultrastructural changes in the sarcotubular system and cell death after denervation. In thi...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Trigeminal nerve injury or dysfunction is associated with denervation atrophy of muscles innervated by the mandibular branch of the trigeminal nerve. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the association between chronic CN V denervation and parotid gland atrophy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-six patients with chronic masticator muscle atrophy were retrospectively ide...
Extensive sensory denervation produced by spinal anesthesia is frequently accompanied under clinical conditions by development of somnolence.' The present study was instituted to investigate this phenomenon electroencephalographically in man under controlled conditions, a review of the literature having failed to reveal data on EEG response to experimentally produced acute extensive sensory den...
Because GLUT-4 expression is decreased whereas GLUT-1 expression is increased in denervated skeletal muscle, we examined the effects of denervation on GLUT-4 and GLUT-1 gene transcription. The right hindlimb skeletal muscle of male transgenic mice containing sequential truncations (2,400, 1,639, 1,154, and 730 bp) of the human GLUT-4 promoter linked to the chloramphenacol acyl transferase (CAT)...
Oxidative stress is considered a central pathophysiological event in cardiovascular disease, including hypertension. Early age reduction in renal mass is associated with hypertension and oxidative stress in later life, which is aggravated by increased salt intake. The aim of the present study was to examine if renal sympathetic denervation can exert blood pressure lowering effects in uninephrec...
Neuregulins play crucial roles in early development of Schwann cells (SCs), but their roles in the activities of SCs during denervation and reinnervation of muscle are less clear. In the present study, the Tet-On system has been used in transgenic mice to enable inducible expression of a mutant, constitutively active neuregulin receptor (ErbB2) in SCs. This induction simulates neuregulin signal...
Nerve growth factor (NGF) has been found in the normal prostate of the Wistar rat and is regarded as an important prostatic mitogen. We have previously shown that chronic stress induced epithelial hyperplasia while sympathetic denervation caused atrophy in the male Wistar rat prostate. NGF may have been a contributing mechanism to the hyperplasia and atrophy response that was observed. The aim ...
