Mechanical stimuli regulate rapamycin-sensitive signalling by a phosphoinositide 3-kinase-, protein kinase B- and growth factor-independent mechanismTroy A Hornberger
School of Kinesiology, University of Illinois at Chicago, 901 W. Roosevelt, Chicago, IL 60608, USA
Biochem J 380:795-804. 2004..Thus mechanical stimuli and growth factors provide distinct inputs through which mTOR co-ordinates an increase in the translational efficiency...

Stimulation pulse characteristics and electrode configuration determine site of excitation in isolated mammalian skeletal muscle: implications for fatigueSimeon P Cairns
Institute of Sport and Recreation Research New Zealand, Faculty of Health and Environmental Science, Auckland University of Technology, Auckland, New Zealand
J Appl Physiol 103:359-68. 2007..Using this new understanding, we showed that disrupted propagation of action potentials along the surface membrane is a major cause of fatigue in soleus muscle that is focally and continuously stimulated at 125 Hz...
Targeted inhibition of Ca2+ /calmodulin signaling exacerbates the dystrophic phenotype in mdx mouse muscleJoe V Chakkalakal
Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Centre for Neuromuscular Diseases, Faculty of Medicine, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Ont, Canada K1H 8M5
Hum Mol Genet 15:1423-35. 2006..Finally, our results further support the concept that strategies aimed at promoting the slow oxidative myofiber program in muscle may be effective in altering the relentless progression of DMD...
Calcineurin-NFAT signaling, together with GABP and peroxisome PGC-1{alpha}, drives utrophin gene expression at the neuromuscular junctionLindsay M Angus
Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, and Centre for Neuromuscular Disease, Faculty of Medicine, University of Ottawa, 451 Smyth Road, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada K1H 8M5
Am J Physiol Cell Physiol 289:C908-17. 2005..Together, these studies indicate that the synaptic expression of utrophin is also driven by calcineurin-NFAT signaling and occurs in conjunction with signaling events that involve GABP and PGC-1alpha...

Neuromuscular Research Laboratory, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Laurentian University, Sudbury, Ontario P3E 2C6, Canada
Proc Nutr Soc 63:341-9. 2004..Increased understanding of these mediators of muscle growth may provide strategies for the development of effective therapeutics to counter muscle weakness and muscular dystrophy...
Expression of utrophin A mRNA correlates with the oxidative capacity of skeletal muscle fiber types and is regulated by calcineurin/NFAT signalingJoe V Chakkalakal
Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine and Centre for Neuromuscular Disease, Faculty of Medicine, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, ON, Canada K1H 8M5
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 100:7791-6. 2003..Together, these results indicate that expression of utrophin A is related to the oxidative capacity of muscle fibers, and implicate calcineurin and its effector NFAT in this mechanism...
