Regulation of muscle mass by Thrombospondin-1
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Loss of muscle mass is a pathological driver in both chronic illness and aging. We have discovered that skeletal muscle specific thrombospondin-1 (Thbs1) transgenic mice have profound muscle atrophy with age-dependent decreases in exercise capacity and premature lethality. Here, we compared the transcriptional profiles of skeletal muscle from control non-transgenic mice with those overexpressing Thbs1 in order to elucidate the transcriptional changes underlying the observed effects on skeletal muscle mass. The overall purpose was to identify new, effective targets to combat muscle atrophy and sarcopenia.
