Rapamycin-induced autophagy aggravates pathology and weakness in a mouse model of VCP-associated myopathy
2 May 2013
Abstract excerpt
Pathological phenotypes in inclusion body myopathy (IBM) associated with Paget disease of the bone (PDB), frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) (IBMPFD/ALS) include defective autophagosome and endosome maturation that result in vacuolation, weakness and muscle atrophy. The link between autophagy and IBMPFD/ALS pathobiology has been poorly understood. We examined the AKT-FOXO3 and...
