Abstract
Arthritogenic alphaviruses are positive-strand RNA viruses that cause debilitating musculoskeletal diseases affecting millions worldwide. A recent discovery identified the four-and-a-half-LIM domain protein 1 splice variant A (FHL1A) as a crucial host factor interacting with the hypervariable domain (HVD) of chikungunya virus (CHIKV) nonstructural protein 3 (nsP3). Here, we show that acute and chronic chikungunya disease in humans correlates with elevated levels of FHL1. We generated FHL1-/- mice, which when infected with CHIKV or o'nyong-nyong virus (ONNV) displayed reduced arthritis and myositis, fewer immune infiltrates, and reduced proinflammatory cytokine/chemokine outputs, compared to infected wild-type (WT) mice. Interestingly, disease signs were comparable in FHL1-/- and WT mice infected with arthritogenic alphaviruses Ross River virus (RRV) or Mayaro virus (MAYV). This aligns with pull-down assay data, which showed the ability of CHIKV and ONNV nsP3 to interact with FHL1, while RRV and MAYV nsP3s did not. We engineered a CHIKV mutant unable to bind FHL1 (CHIKV-ΔFHL1), which was avirulent in vivo. Following inoculation with CHIKV-ΔFHL1, mice were protected from disease upon challenge with CHIKV and ONNV, and viraemia was significantly reduced in RRV- and MAYV-challenged mice. Targeting FHL1-binding as an approach to vaccine design could lead to breakthroughs in mitigating alphaviral disease.

Abstract
A 60-year-old man developed dyspnea without apparent limb weakness. He had cardiomyopathy in his 30s and was treated for chronic heart failure since 42. He was diagnosed as having four and a half LIM domains 1 (FHL1) mutation at 53 following the same diagnosis of his younger brother. He was first admitted to the cardiology department for possible worsening of chronic cardiac failure. Blood gas analysis showing respiratory acidosis prompted his treatment with a respirator. Neurological examination revealed that he had mild weakness limited to the shoulder girdle muscles and contracture at jaw, spine, elbows and ankles. Skeletal muscle CT showed truncal atrophy. He, as well as his younger brother, was diagnosed with FHL1 myopathy resulting in ventilation failure and was discharged after successful weaning from the respirator in the daytime. The present sibling cases are the first with FHL1 mutation to develop respiratory failure without limb weakness and suggest that FHL1 myopathy as a differentially diagnosis of hereditary myopathies with early respiratory failure.

Abstract
The four and a half LIM domain protein 3, also named the LIM-protein FHL3, belongs to the LIM-only family. Based on the special structure of LIM-only proteins, FHL3 can perform significant functions in muscle proliferation and cardiovascular diseases by regulating cell growth and signal transduction. In recent years, there has been increasing evidence of a relation between FHLs and tumor biology, since FHL3 is often overexpressed or downregulated in different cancers. On the one hand, FHL3 can function as a tumor suppressor and influence the expression of downstream genes. On the other hand, FHL3 can also play a role as an oncoprotein in some cancers to promote tumor progression via phosphorylation. Thus, FHL3 is proposed to have a dual effect on cancer progression, reflecting its complex roles in cancer. This review focuses on the roles of FHL3 in cancer progression and discusses the interaction of FHL3 with other proteins and transcription factors. Finally, the clinical significance of FHL3 for the treatment of cancers is discussed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) is the most prevalent histological type of thyroid carcinoma. Despite the overall favorable prognosis of PTMC, some cases exhibit aggressive phenotypes. The identification of robust biomarkers may improve early PTMC diagnosis. In this study, we integrated high-throughput transcriptome sequencing, bioinformatic analyses and experimental validation to identify key genes associated with the malignant characteristics of PTMC. METHODS Total RNA was extracted from 24 PTMC samples and 7 non-malignant thyroid tissue samples, followed by RNA sequencing. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified and used to construct co-expression networks by weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA). Gene ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analyses were performed, and protein-protein interaction networks were constructed. Key modules and hub genes showing a strong correlation with the malignant characteristics of PTMC were identified and validated. RESULTS The green-yellow and turquoise modules generated by WGCNA were strongly associated with the malignant characteristics of PTMC. Functional enrichment analysis revealed that genes in the green-yellow module participated in cell motility and metabolism, whereas those in the turquoise module participated in several oncogenic biological processes. Nine real hub genes (FHL1, NDRG2, NEXN, SYNM, COL1A1, FN1, LAMC2, POSTN, and TGFBI) were identified and validated at the transcriptional and translational levels. Our preliminary results indicated their diagnostic potentials in PTMC. CONCLUSIONS In this study, we identified key co-expression modules and nine malignancy-related genes with potential diagnostic value in PTMC.

Abstract
Muscle specific signaling has been shown to originate from myofilaments and their associated cellular structures, including the sarcomeres, costameres or the cardiac intercalated disc. Two signaling hubs that play important biomechanical roles for cardiac and/or skeletal muscle physiology are the N2B and N2A regions in the giant protein titin. Prominent proteins associated with these regions in titin are chaperones Hsp90 and αB-crystallin, members of the four-and-a-half LIM (FHL) and muscle ankyrin repeat protein (Ankrd) families, as well as thin filament-associated proteins, such as myopalladin. This review highlights biological roles and properties of the titin N2B and N2A regions in health and disease. Special emphasis is placed on functions of Ankrd and FHL proteins as mechanosensors that modulate muscle-specific signaling and muscle growth. This region of the sarcomere also emerged as a hotspot for the modulation of passive muscle mechanics through altered titin phosphorylation and splicing, as well as tethering mechanisms that link titin to the thin filament system.

Abstract
Congenital clubfoot (CCF) is a common birth defect. Maternal smoking during pregnancy increases the risk of CCF. In previous research, we found muscle phenotypes similar to CCF in four and a half LIM domain protein 1 (FHLI) offspring mice (FHL1-/y). However, the role of P2RX7-mediated pyroptosis in the effect of cigarette smoke (CS) on the skeletal muscle of FHL1-/y mice during pregnancy is unclear. In the present study, pregnant mice at 11 days of gestation were exposed to CS and male offspring of wild-type (WT) and FHL1-/y mice were divided into four groups (Control-WT, Control-KO, CS-WT, CS-KO). The histomorphology of lower limb muscles was examined using hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining. P2RX7, indicators of pyroptosis (NLRP3, ASC, cleaved-caspase 1, IL-1β), and cytoskeletal proteins (MYBPC2, LDB3) were also detected using immunoblotting. CS exposure during pregnancy aggravated the muscle phenotype similar to CCF in FHL1-/y offspring mice. FHL1 gene knockout (KO) or CS exposure during pregnancy each activated the expression of P2RX7, cell pyroptosis-related proteins (NLRP3, ASC, cleaved-caspase 1, IL-1β), a muscle injury marker (MYOD1), and cytoskeletal proteins (MYBPC2, LDB3); these two factors had an additive effect. The results showed maternal smoking during pregnancy aggravated muscle phenotype similar to CCF in FHL1-/y offspring mice through P2RX7-mediated pyroptosis.

Abstract
Reducing body myopathy (RBM) is a rare myopathy characterized by reducing bodies (RBs) in morphological presentation. The clinical manifestations of RBM present a wide clinical spectrum, varying from infantile lethal form through childhood and adult benign forms. FHL1 gene is the causative gene of RBM. To date, only 6 Chinese RBM patients have been reported. Here, we reported the clinical presentations and genetic findings of 3 Chinese RBM patients from two families. Two novel pathogenic variants, c.395G>A and c.401_402insGAC, were identified by whole exome sequencing. Furthermore, by reviewing previous studies, we revealed that most RBM patients manifested with an early onset, symmetric, progressive limb-girdle and axial muscle weakness with joint contractures, rigid spine or scoliosis except familial female patients who exhibited asymmetric benign muscle involvements. Our results provide insightful information to help better diagnose and understand the disease.

Abstract
Four and a half LIM domains protein 1 (FHL1), as the name suggests, contains four and a half LIM domains capable of interacting with various molecules, including structural proteins, kinases, and transcriptional machinery. FHL1 contains a zinc-finger domain and performs diverse roles in regulation of gene transcription, cytoarchitecture, cell proliferation, and signal transduction. Several studies have validated the importance of FHL1 in muscle development, myopathy, and cardiovascular diseases. Mutations in the FHL1 gene are associated with various myopathies. Recently, FHL1 was identified as a major host factor for chikungunya virus (CHIKV) infection in both humans and mice. Based on more recent findings over the last decade, FHL1 is proposed to play a dual role in cancer progression. On the one hand, FHL1 expression is suppressed in several cancer types, which correlates with increased metastatic disease and decreased survival. Moreover, FHL1 is reported to inhibit tumor cell growth and migration by associating with diverse signals, such as TGF-β and ER, and therefore considered a tumor suppressor. On the other hand, FHL1 can function as an oncogenic protein that promotes tumor progression upon phosphorylation, reflecting complex roles in cancer. This review primarily focuses on the dual role and underlying mechanisms of action of FHL1 in human cancer progression and its clinical relevance.

Abstract
Human four-and-a-half LIM domains protein 1 (FHL1) is a member of the FHL protein family, which serves an important role in multiple cellular events by interacting with transcription factors using its cysteine-rich zinc finger motifs. A previous study indicated that FHL1 was downregulated in several types of human cancer and served a role as a tumor suppressive gene. The overexpression of FHL1 inhibited tumor cell proliferation. However, to the best of our knowledge, there is no evidence to confirm whether FHL1 affected glioma growth, and the molecular mechanisms through which FHL1 represses tumor development remain unclear. In the present study, the expression level of FHL1 was determined using immunohistochemical staining in 114 tumor specimens from patients with glioma. The results indicated that FHL1 expression was negatively associated with the pathological grade of gliomas. Furthermore, Kaplan-Meier survival curves demonstrated that the patients with an increased FHL1 expression exhibited a significantly longer survival time, suggesting that FHL1 may be a prognostic marker for glioma. The protein level of FHL1 was relatively increased in the U251 glioma cell line compared with that in the U87 cell line. Therefore, FHL1 was knocked down in U251 by siRNA and overexpressed in U87, and it was identified that FHL1 significantly decreased the activation of PI3K/AKT signaling by interacting with AKT. Further experiments verified that FHL1 inhibited the growth of gliomas in vivo by modulating PI3K/AKT signaling. In conclusion, the results of the present study demonstrated that FHL1 suppressed glioma development through PI3K/AKT signaling.

Muscle death participates in myofibrillar abnormalities in FHL1 knockout mice. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2019; 523:105-111. [PMID: 31836140 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbrc.2019.12.026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2019] [Accepted: 12/05/2019] [Indexed: 01/16/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Mutations in the four and-a-half LIM domain protein 1 (FHL1) gene or FHL1 protein deletion have been identified as the cause of rare hereditary myopathies or cardiomyopathies. In our previous study, autophagy activation was associated with myofibrillar abnormalities in FHL1 knockout (KO) mice. P2RX7 induces cell death, such as autophagy, pyroptosis or apoptosis via cell-specific downstream signaling; however, the roles of P2RX7 in pyroptosis or apoptosis in myofibrillar abnormalities in FHL1 KO mice have not been well elucidated. METHODS In this study, skeletal muscle and heart of 2.5 months old WT and FHL1 KO male mice histomorphology were examined by hematoxylin and eosin staining. The indicators for pyroptosis (NLRP3; ASC; cleaved-caspase1; IL-1β), apoptosis (Apaf-1; Bcl-2; caspase9; cleaved-caspase3), and P2RX7 were detected in the triceps (Tri), tibialis anterior muscles (TA), and heart by western blot and/or immunohistochemistry in WT and FHL1 KO male mice. RESULTS Indicators for pyroptosis (ASC; cleaved-caspase1; IL-1β) and apoptosis (Apaf-1 and cleaved-caspase3), as well as P2RX7 were upregulated in Tri, tibialis TA, and heart in FHL1 KO mice, indicating pyroptosis and apoptosis play important roles in myofibrillar abnormalities in FHL1 KO mice. CONCLUSIONS P2RX7 may participate in myofibrillar abnormalities by activating pyroptosis and apoptosis in FHL1 KO mice. These findings have basic implications for the understanding of myopathies induced by FHL1 deficiency and provide new avenues for the treatment of these hereditary myopathies by modulating P2RX7.

Abstract
Increasing evidence suggests that both synaptic loss and neuroinflammation constitute early pathologic hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease. A downstream event during inflammatory activation of microglia and astrocytes is the induction of nitric oxide synthase type 2, resulting in an increased release of nitric oxide and the post-translational S-nitrosylation of protein cysteine residues. Both early events, inflammation and synaptic dysfunction, could be connected if this excess nitrosylation occurs on synaptic proteins. In the long term, such changes could provide new insight into patho-mechanisms as well as biomarker candidates from the early stages of disease progression. This study investigated S-nitrosylation in synaptosomal proteins isolated from APP/PS1 model mice in comparison to wild type and NOS2-/- mice, as well as human control, mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease brain tissues. Proteomics data were obtained using an established protocol utilizing an isobaric mass tag method, followed by nanocapillary high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. Statistical analysis identified the S-nitrosylation sites most likely derived from an increase in nitric oxide (NO) in dependence of presence of AD pathology, age and the key enzyme NOS2. The resulting list of candidate proteins is discussed considering function, previous findings in the context of neurodegeneration, and the potential for further validation studies.

Abstract
X-linked scapuloperoneal myopathy (X-SM), one of Four-and-a-half LIM 1 (FHL1) related diseases, is an adult-onset slowly progressive myopathy, often associated with cardiomyopathy. We previously generated a knock-in mouse model that has the same mutation (c.365 G > C, p.W122S) as human X-SM patients. The mutant male mouse developed late-onset slowly progressive myopathy without cardiomyopathy. In this study, we observed that heterozygous (Het) and homozygous (Homo) female mice did not show alterations of skeletal muscle function or histology. In contrast, 20-month-old mutant female mice showed signs of cardiomyopathy on echocardiograms with increased systolic diameter [wild-type (WT): 2.74 ± 0.22 mm, mean ± standard deviation (SD); Het: 3.13 ± 0.11 mm, P < 0.01; Homo: 3.08 ± 0.37 mm, P < 0.05) and lower fractional shortening (WT: 31.1 ± 4.4%, mean ± SD; Het: 22.7 ± 2.5%, P < 0.01; Homo: 22.4 ± 6.9%, P < 0.01]. Histological analysis of cardiac muscle revealed frequent extraordinarily large rectangular nuclei in mutant female mice that were also observed in human cardiac muscle from X-SM patients. Western blot demonstrated decreased Fhl1 protein levels in cardiac muscle, but not in skeletal muscle, of Homo mutant female mice. Proteomic analysis of cardiac muscle from 20-month-old Homo mutant female mice indicated abnormalities of the integrin signaling pathway (ISP) in association with cardiac dysfunction. The ISP dysregulation was further supported by altered levels of a subunit of the ISP downstream effectors Arpc1a in Fhl1 mutant mice and ARPC1A in X-SM patient muscles. This study reveals the first mouse model of FHL1-related cardiomyopathy and implicates ISP dysregulation in the pathogenesis of FHL1 myopathy.

Abstract
Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD) is a genetic condition characterized by early contractures, skeletal muscle weakness, and cardiomyopathy. During the last 20 years, various genetic approaches led to the identification of causal genes of EDMD and related disorders, all encoding nuclear envelope proteins. By their respective localization either at the inner nuclear membrane or the outer nuclear membrane, these proteins interact with each other and establish a connection between the nucleus and the cytoskeleton. Beside this physical link, these proteins are also involved in mechanotransduction, responding to environmental cues, such as increased tension of the cytoskeleton, by the activation or repression of specific sets of genes. This ability of cells to adapt to environmental conditions is altered in EDMD. Increased knowledge on the pathophysiology of EDMD has led to the development of drug or gene therapies that have been tested on mouse models. This review proposed an overview of the functions played by the different proteins involved in EDMD and related disorders and the current therapeutic approaches tested so far.

Abstract
Mutations in the FHL1 gene, and FHL1 protein deletion, are associated with rare hereditary myopathies and cardiomyopathies. FHL1-null mice develop age-dependent myopathy and increased autophagic activity. However, the molecular pathway involved in contractile function and increased autophagic activity in the FHL1-null mouse has not yet been fully elucidated. In this study, FHL1 protein was knocked out in mice using Transcription Activator-like Effector Nucleases (TALENs) and the IRS1-FOXO1/mTOR signaling pathway was investigated in skeletal muscles and heart. TALEN constructs caused targeted mutations in 30% of newborn mice; these mutations caused a deletion of 1–13 base pairs which blocked synthesis of the full-length FHL1 protein. Furthermore, 2.5-month old FHL1-null male mice were not prone to global muscular fatigue when compared with WT littermates, but histological analysis and ultrastructural analysis by transmission electron microscopy confirmed the presence of myofibrillar disorganization and the accumulation of autophagosome or autolysosome-like structures in FHL1-null mice. Moreover, autophagy and mitophagy were both activated in FHL1 KO mice and the degradation of autophagic lysosomes was impeded. Enhanced autophagic activity in FHL1 KO mice was induced by FOXO1 up-regulation and protein synthesis was increased via mTOR. The cytoskeletal proteins, MYBPC2 and LDB3, were involved in the formation of pathological changes in FHL1 KO mice. Markers of early differentiation (MEF2C and MYOD1) and terminal differentiation (total MYH) were both up-regulated in tibialis anterior (TA) muscles in FHL1 KO mice. The number of type I and type II fibers increased in FHL1-null TA muscles, but the number of type| | b, and type | | d fibers were both reduced in FHL1-null TA muscles. The results obtained from the heart were consistent with those from the skeletal muscle and indicated autophagic activation by FOXO1 and an increase in protein synthesis via mTOR also occurred in the heart tissue of FHL1 knockout mice. In conclusion, aberrant protein turn-over associated with myofibrillar disorganization in FHL1 knockout mice. the up-regulation of FOXO1 was associated with enhanced autophagic activity and pathological changes in the muscle fibers of FHL1 KO mice. These results indicated that autophagy activated by FOXO1 is a promising therapeutic target for hereditary myopathies and cardiomyopathies induced by FHL1.

Abstract
Four and a half LIM domain (FHL) protein family members, FHL1 and FHL2, are multifunctional proteins that are enriched in cardiac muscle. Although they both localize within the cardiomyocyte sarcomere (titin N2B), they have been shown to have important yet unique functions within the context of cardiac hypertrophy and disease. Studies in FHL1-deficient mice have primarily uncovered mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) scaffolding functions for FHL1 as part of a novel biomechanical stretch sensor within the cardiomyocyte sarcomere, which acts as a positive regulator of pressure overload-mediated cardiac hypertrophy. New data have highlighted a novel role for the serine/threonine protein phosphatase (PP5) as a deactivator of the FHL1-based biomechanical stretch sensor, which has implications in not only cardiac hypertrophy but also heart failure. In contrast, studies in FHL2-deficient mice have primarily uncovered an opposing role for FHL2 as a negative regulator of adrenergic-mediated signaling and cardiac hypertrophy, further suggesting unique functions targeted by FHL proteins in the "stressed" cardiomyocyte. In this review, we provide current knowledge of the role of FHL1 and FHL2 in cardiac muscle as it relates to their actions in cardiac hypertrophy and cardiomyopathy. A specific focus will be to dissect the pathways and protein-protein interactions that underlie FHLs' signaling role in cardiac hypertrophy as well as provide a comprehensive list of FHL mutations linked to cardiac disease, using evidence gained from genetic mouse models and human genetic studies.

Abstract
RNA binding motif 20 (RBM20) regulates pre-mRNA splicing of over thirty genes, among which titin is a major target. With RBM20 expression, titin expresses a larger isoform at fetal stage to a smaller isoform at adult resulting from alternative splicing, while, without RBM20, titin expresses exclusively a larger isoform throughout all ages. In addition to splicing regulation, it is unknown whether RBM20 also regulates gene expression. In this study, we employed Rbm20 knockout rats to investigate gene expression profile using Affymetrix expression array. We compared wild type to Rbm20 knockout at day1, 20 and 49. Bioinformatics analysis showed RBM20 regulates fewer genes expression at younger age and more at older age and commonly expressed genes have the same trends. GSEA indicated up-regulated genes are associated with heart failure. We examined titin binding partners. All titin direct binding partners are up-regulated and their increased expression is associated with dilated cardiomyopathy. Particularly, we found that genes involving calcium handling and muscle contraction are changed by RBM20. Intracellular calcium level measurement with individual cardiomyocytes further confirmed that changes of these proteins impact calcium handling. Selected genes from titin binding partners and calcium handling were validated with QPCR and western blotting. These data demonstrate that RBM20 regulates gene splicing as well as gene expression. Altered gene expression by RBM20 influences protein-protein interaction, calcium releasing and thus muscle contraction. Our results first reported gene expression impacted by RBM20 with heart maturation, and provided new insights into the role of RBM20 in the progression of heart failure.

Abstract
Cardiomyopathies are a diverse group of cardiac disorders with distinct phenotypes, depending on the proteins and pathways affected. A substantial proportion of cardiomyopathies are inherited and those will be the focus of this review article. With the wide application of high-throughput sequencing in the practice of clinical genetics, the roles of novel genes in cardiomyopathies are recognised. Here, we focus on a subgroup of cardiomyopathy genes [TTN, FHL1, CSRP3, FLNC and PLN, coding for Titin, Four and a Half LIM domain 1, Muscle LIM Protein, Filamin C and Phospholamban, respectively], which, despite their diverse biological functions, all have important signalling functions in the heart, suggesting that disturbances in signalling networks can contribute to cardiomyopathies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dogs [Canis lupus familiaris] were the first animal species to be domesticated and continue to occupy an important place in human societies. Recent studies have begun to reveal when and where dog domestication occurred. While much progress has been made in identifying the genetic basis of phenotypic differences between dog breeds we still know relatively little about the genetic changes underlying the phenotypes that differentiate all dogs from their wild progenitors, wolves [Canis lupus]. In particular, dogs generally show reduced aggression and fear towards humans compared to wolves. Therefore, selection for tameness was likely a necessary prerequisite for dog domestication. With the increasing availability of whole-genome sequence data it is possible to try and directly identify the genetic variants contributing to the phenotypic differences between dogs and wolves. RESULTS We analyse the largest available database of genome-wide polymorphism data in a global sample of dogs 69 and wolves 7. We perform a scan to identify regions of the genome that are highly differentiated between dogs and wolves. We identify putatively functional genomic variants that are segregating or at high frequency [> = 0.75 Fst] for alternative alleles between dogs and wolves. A biological pathways analysis of the genes containing these variants suggests that there has been selection on the 'adrenaline and noradrenaline biosynthesis pathway', well known for its involvement in the fight-or-flight response. We identify 11 genes with putatively functional variants fixed for alternative alleles between dogs and wolves. The segregating variants in these genes are strong candidates for having been targets of selection during early dog domestication. CONCLUSIONS We present the first genome-wide analysis of the different categories of putatively functional variants that are fixed or segregating at high frequency between a global sampling of dogs and wolves. We find evidence that selection has been strongest around non-synonymous variants. Strong selection in the initial stages of dog domestication appears to have occurred on multiple genes involved in the fight-or-flight response, particularly in the catecholamine synthesis pathway. Different alleles in some of these genes have been associated with behavioral differences between modern dog breeds, suggesting an important role for this pathway at multiple stages in the domestication process.

Abstract
Cigarette smoke can induce pulmonary vascular remodeling, which involves pulmonary artery smooth muscle cell (PASMC) proliferation, resulting in pulmonary hypertension in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. FHL1 is a member of the FHL subfamily, characterized by an N‑terminal half LIM domain, followed by four complete LIM domains, and has been suggested to be critical in cell proliferation. However, the effects of FHL1 on cigarette smoke‑induced PASMC proliferation and the precise molecular mechanism remain to be elucidated. The present study demonstrated that the protein expression of FHL1 correlated with cigarette smoke extract (CSE)‑induced PASMC proliferation. Knockdown of the expression of FHL1 using siRNA significantly suppressed cell proliferation and inhibited the cell cycle transition between the G1 and S phase by regulating the cyclin‑dependent kinase pathway at the basal level and following CSE stimulation. By contrast, overexpressing FHL1 using an adenovirus increased cell proliferation and promoted the cell cycle transition between the G1 and S phase. Furthermore, CSE significantly increased the protein expression of FHL1, however, exerted no effect on the mRNA expression levels. This alteration was due to the prolonged FHL1 half‑life, leading to the antagonizing of protein degradation. Collectively, these data suggested that FHL1 may be involved in excessive cell proliferation and may represent a potential therapeutic target for pulmonary hypertension.

Abstract
A member of the four-and-a-half-LIM (FHL) domain protein family, FHL1, is highly expressed in human adult skeletal and cardiac muscle. Mutations in FHL1 have been associated with diverse X-linked muscle diseases: scapuloperoneal (SP) myopathy, reducing body myopathy, X-linked myopathy with postural muscle atrophy, rigid spine syndrome (RSS) and Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy. In 2008, we identified a missense mutation in the second LIM domain of FHL1 (c.365 G>C, p.W122S) in a family with SP myopathy. We generated a knock-in mouse model harboring the c.365 G>C Fhl1 mutation and investigated the effects of this mutation at three time points (3-5 months, 7-10 months and 18-20 months) in hemizygous male and heterozygous female mice. Survival was comparable in mutant and wild-type animals. We observed decreased forelimb strength and exercise capacity in adult hemizygous male mice starting from 7 to 10 months of age. Western blot analysis showed absence of Fhl1 in muscle at later stages. Thus, adult hemizygous male, but not heterozygous female, mice showed a slowly progressive phenotype similar to human patients with late-onset muscle weakness. In contrast to SP myopathy patients with the FHL1 W122S mutation, mutant mice did not manifest cytoplasmic inclusions (reducing bodies) in muscle. Because muscle weakness was evident prior to loss of Fhl1 protein and without reducing bodies, our findings indicate that loss of function is responsible for the myopathy in the Fhl1 W122S knock-in mice.

Abstract
The four-and-half LIM domain protein 1 (FHL1) is highly expressed in skeletal and cardiac muscle. Mutations of the FHL1 gene have been associated with diverse chronic myopathies including reducing body myopathy, rigid spine syndrome (RSS), and Emery–Dreifuss muscular dystrophy. We investigated a family with a mutation (p.C150R) in the second LIM domain of FHL1. In this family, a brother and a sister were affected by RSS, and their mother had mild lower limbs weakness. The 34-year-old female had an early and progressive rigidity of the cervical spine and severe respiratory insufficiency. Muscle mass evaluated by DXA was markedly reduced, while fat mass was increased to 40%. CT scan showed an almost complete substitution of muscle by fibro-adipose tissue. Muscle biopsy showed accumulation of FHL1 throughout the cytoplasm and around myonuclei into multiprotein aggregates with aggresome/autophagy features as indicated by ubiquitin, p62, and LC3 labeling. DNA deposits, not associated with nuclear lamina components and histones, were also detected in the aggregates, suggesting nuclear degradation. Ultrastructural analysis showed the presence of dysmorphic nuclei, accumulation of tubulofilamentous and granular material, and perinuclear accumulation of autophagic vacuoles. These data point to involvement of the aggresome–autophagy pathway in the pathophysiological mechanism underlying the muscle pathology of FHL1 C150R mutation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In a subset of patients with Hirschsprung's disease (HSCR), gastrointestinal motor dysfunction persisted long after surgical correction. Gastrointestinal motility is achieved through the coordinated activity of the enteric nervous system, interstitial cells of Cajal, and smooth muscle (SMC) cells. Inhibition of four-and-a-half LIM protein-1 (Fhl1) expression by siRNA significantly decreases pulmonary artery SMCs migration and proliferation. Furthermore when up-expressing FHL1 in atrial myocytes, K (+) current density markedly increases, therefore changing myocytes' response to an electrical stimulus. However whether FHL1 in colon SMCs (the final effector organ) influences intestinal motility in HSCR patients has not been clarified. METHODS FHL1 mRNA and protein expressions were analyzed in 32 HSCR colons and 4 normal colons. RESULTS Smooth muscle layers were thicken and disorganized in HSCR. FHL1 was expressed in the ganglion cells of the myenteric plexus, submucosa, as well as in the longitudinal and circular muscle layer of the ganglionic colon. FHL1 mRNA relative expression level in aganglionic colons was 1.06 ± 0.49 (ganglionic colon relative expression level was 1) (P=0.44). FHL1 protein gray level relative to GAPDH in normal colons was 0.83 ± 0.09. FHL1 expression level in ganglionic colon (1.66 ± 0.30) or aganglionic colon (1.81 ± 0.35) was significantly higher than that in normal colons (P=0.045 and P=0.041, respectively). Meanwhile, we found FHL1 expression in aganglionic colon was slightly stronger than that in ganglionic colon (P=0.036). CONCLUSION These data suggested that up-regulated FHL1 in smooth muscle in HSCR might be associated with intestinal wall remodeling in HSCR and might be one of the risk factors for gastrointestinal motor dysfunction.

Abstract
FHL1 is multifunctional and serves as a modular protein binding interface to mediate protein-protein interactions. In skeletal muscle, FHL1 is involved in sarcomere assembly, differentiation, growth, and biomechanical stress. Muscle abnormalities may play a major role in congenital clubfoot (CCF) deformity during fetal development. Thus, identifying the interactions of FHL1 could provide important new insights into its functional role in both skeletal muscle development and CCF pathogenesis. Using proteins derived from rat L6GNR4 myoblastocytes, we detected FHL1 interacting proteins by immunoprecipitation. Samples were analyzed by liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Dynamic gene expression of FHL1 was studied. Additionally, the expression of the possible interacting proteins gamma-actin and non-muscle myosin IIB, which were isolated from the lower limbs of E14, E15, E17, E18, E20 rat embryos or from adult skeletal muscle was analyzed. Potential interacting proteins isolated from E17 lower limbs were verified by immunoprecipitation, and co-localization in adult gastrocnemius muscle was visualized by fluorescence microscopy. FHL1 expression was associated with skeletal muscle differentiation. E17 was found to be the critical time-point for skeletal muscle differentiation in the lower limbs of rat embryos. We also identified gamma-actin and non-muscle myosin IIB as potential binding partners of FHL1, and both were expressed in adult skeletal muscle. We then demonstrated that FHL1 exists as part of a complex, which binds gamma-actin and non-muscle myosin IIB.

Abstract
The ability of cardiomyocytes to detect mechanical and humoral stimuli is critical for adaptation of the myocardium in response to new conditions and for sustaining the increased workload during stress. While certain stimuli mediate a beneficial adaptation to stress conditions, others result in maladaptive remodelling, ultimately leading to heart failure. Specific signalling pathways activating either adaptive or maladaptive cardiac remodelling have been identified. Paradoxically, however, in a number of cases, the transduction pathways involved in such opposing responses engage the same signalling proteins. A notable example is the Raf-MEK1/2-ERK1/2 signalling pathway that can control both adaptive and maladaptive remodelling. ERK1/2 signalling requires a signalosome complex where a scaffold protein drives the assembly of these three kinases into a linear pathway to facilitate their sequential phosphorylation, ultimately targeting specific effector molecules. Interestingly, a number of different Raf-MEK1/2-ERK1/2 scaffold proteins have been identified, and their role in determining the adaptive or maladaptive cardiac remodelling is a promising field of investigation for the development of therapeutic strategies capable of selectively potentiating the adaptive response.

Abstract
This research investigated the impact of angiotensin AT1 receptor (Agtr1) blockade on left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy in a mouse model of human hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), which carries one functional allele of Mybpc3 gene coding cardiac myosin-binding protein C (cMyBP-C). Five-month-old heterozygous cMyBP-C knockout (Het-KO) and wild-type mice were treated with irbesartan (50 mg/kg/day) or vehicle for 8 weeks. Arterial blood pressure was measured by tail cuff plethysmography. LV dimension and function were accessed by echocardiography. Myocardial gene expression was evaluated using RT-qPCR. Compared with wild-type littermates, Het-KO mice had greater LV/body weight ratio (4.0 ± 0.1 vs. 3.3 ± 0.1 mg/g, P < 0.001), thicker interventricular septal wall (0.70 ± 0.02 vs. 0.65 ± 0.01 mm, P < 0.02), lower Mybpc3 mRNA level (-43%, P < 0.02), higher four-and-a-half LIM domains 1 (Fhl1, +110%, P < 0.01), and angiotensin-converting enzyme 1 (Ace1, +67%, P < 0.05), but unchanged Agtr1 mRNA levels in the septum. Treatment with irbesartan had no effect in wild-type mice but abolished septum-predominant LV hypertrophy and Fhl1 upregulation without changes in Ace1 but with an increased Agtr1 (+42%) in Het-KO mice. Thus, septum-predominant LV hypertrophy in Het-KO mice is combined with higher Fhl1 expression, which can be abolished by AT1 receptor blockade, indicating a role of the renin-angiotensin system and Fhl1 in cMyBP-C-related HCM.

Abstract
S-nitrosylation, the formation of S-nitrosothiol (SNO), is an important reversible thiol oxidation event that has been increasingly recognized for its role in cell signaling. Although many proteins susceptible to S-nitrosylation have been reported, site-specific identification of physiologically relevant SNO modifications remains an analytical challenge because of the low abundance and labile nature of this modification. Herein we present further improvement and optimization of the recently reported resin-assisted cysteinyl peptide enrichment protocol for SNO identification and its application to mouse skeletal muscle to identify specific cysteine sites sensitive to S-nitrosylation by a quantitative reactivity profiling strategy. Our results indicate that the protein- and peptide-level enrichment protocols provide comparable specificity and coverage of SNO-peptide identifications. S-nitrosylation reactivity profiling was performed by quantitatively comparing the site-specific SNO modification levels in samples treated with S-nitrosoglutathione, an NO donor, at two different concentrations (i.e., 10 and 100 μM). The reactivity profiling experiments led to the identification of 488 SNO-modified sites from 197 proteins with specificity of ∼95% at the unique peptide level, i.e., ∼95% of enriched peptides contain cysteine residues as the originally SNO-modified sites. Among these sites, 281 from 145 proteins were considered more sensitive to S-nitrosylation based on the ratios of observed SNO levels between the two treatments. These SNO-sensitive sites are more likely to be physiologically relevant. Many of the SNO-sensitive proteins are localized in mitochondria, contractile fiber, and actin cytoskeleton, suggesting the susceptibility of these subcellular compartments to redox regulation. Moreover, these observed SNO-sensitive proteins are primarily involved in metabolic pathways, including the tricarboxylic acid cycle, glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, glutathione metabolism, and fatty acid metabolism, suggesting the importance of redox regulation in muscle metabolism and insulin action.

Abstract
Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD) is characterised by early-onset joint contractures, progressive muscular weakness and wasting and late-onset cardiac disease. The more common X-linked recessive form of EDMD is caused by mutations in either EMD (encoding emerin) or FHL1 (encoding four and a half LIM domains 1), while mutations in LMNA (encoding lamin A/C), SYNE1 (encoding nesprin-1) and SYNE2 (encoding nesprin-2) lead to autosomal dominant forms of the condition. Here, we identify a three-generation family with an extended EDMD phenotype due to a novel indel mutation in FHL1 that differentially affects the relative expression of the three known transcript isoforms produced from this locus. The additional phenotypic manifestations in this family-proportionate short stature, facial dysmorphism, pulmonary valvular stenosis, thoracic scoliosis, brachydactyly, pectus deformities and genital abnormalities-are reminiscent of phenotypes seen with dysregulated Ras-mitogen-activated protein kinase (RAS-MAPK) signalling [Noonan syndrome (NS) and related disorders]. The misexpression of FHL1 transcripts precipitated by this mutation, together with the role of FHL1 in the regulation of RAS-MAPK signalling, suggests that this mutation confers a complex phenotype through both gain- and loss-of-function mechanisms. This indel mutation in FHL1 broadens the spectrum of FHL1-related disorders and implicates it in the pathogenesis of NS spectrum disorders.

Abstract
Understanding mechanisms underlying titin regulation in cardiac muscle function is of critical importance given recent compelling evidence that highlight titin mutations as major determinants of human cardiomyopathy. We previously identified a cardiac biomechanical stress-regulated complex at the cardiac-specific N2B region of titin that includes four-and-a-half LIM domain protein-1 (Fhl1) and components of the mitogen-activated protein signaling cascade, which impacted muscle compliance in Fhl1 knock-out cardiac muscle. However, direct regulation of these molecular components in mediating titin N2B function remained unresolved. Here we identify Fhl1 as a novel negative regulator of titin N2B levels and phosphorylation-mediated mechanics. We specifically identify titin N2B as a novel substrate of extracellular signal regulated-kinase-2 (Erk2) and demonstrate that Fhl1 directly interferes with Erk2-mediated titin-N2B phosphorylation. We highlight the critical region in titin-N2B that interacts with Fhl1 and residues that are dependent on Erk2-mediated phosphorylation in situ. We also propose a potential mechanism for a known titin-N2B cardiomyopathy-causing mutation that involves this regulatory complex. These studies shed light on a novel mechanism regulating titin-N2B mechano-signaling as well as suggest that dysfunction of these pathways could be important in cardiac disease states affecting muscle compliance.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that Wnt signaling is involved in postnatal mammalian myogenesis; however, the downstream mechanism of Wnt signaling is not fully understood. This study reports that the murine four-and-a-half LIM domain 1 (Fhl1) could be stimulated by β-catenin or LiCl treatment to induce myogenesis. In contrast, knockdown of the Fhl1 gene expression in C2C12 cells led to reduced myotube formation. We also adopted reporter assays to demonstrate that either β-catenin or LiCl significantly activated the Fhl1 promoter, which contains four putative consensus TCF/LEF binding sites. Mutations of two of these sites caused a significant decrease in promoter activity by luciferase reporter assay. Thus, we suggest that Wnt signaling induces muscle cell differentiation, at least partly, through Fhl1 activation.

Abstract
This study was performed to analyze the expression of four and a half LIM domains 1 (FHL1) in gastric carcinoma tissue and its correlation with the clinicopathological characteristics of gastric cancer. In addition, the role of FHL1 in the invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer cells was investigated to provide an experimental basis for future treatments of gastric cancer. FHL1 mRNA and protein expression in gastric carcinoma and the adjacent normal gastric mucosa tissue were determined using RT-PCR and western blots. Correlations of FHL1 expression with the incidence, progression, and clinicopathological characteristics of gastric cancer were analyzed. Changes in the invasion and metastatic potential of MKN45 human gastric cancer cells were observed after the transient transfection with an eukaryotic expression vector containing full-length FHL1. Expression of FHL1 mRNA in gastric carcinoma tissue was significantly lower than that in the adjacent normal tissue (P < 0.05). FHL1 expression in gastric carcinoma tissue from patients who were positive for lymph node metastasis was significantly lower than those in patients who were negative for lymph node metastasis (P < 0.05). Lower FHL1 expression was correlated with lower degrees of differentiation, higher TNM stages, and greater invasive potential of the gastric cancer (P < 0.05). The FHL1 mRNA and protein expression patterns were similar in gastric cancer. FHL1 protein expression in gastric carcinoma tissue was significantly lower than that in the surrounding normal tissue (P < 0.05). FHL1 protein expression was significantly lower in gastric carcinoma tissue from patients who were positive for lymph node metastasis than that detected in patients with no lymph node metastasis (P < 0.05). Lower FHL1 protein expression was correlated with lower degrees of differentiation, higher TNM stages, and greater invasive potential in gastric cancer (P < 0.05). However, the expression of FHL1 was independent of the patient's gender, age, and tumor size (P > 0.05). Overexpression of FHL1 in the MKN45 human gastric cancer cell line using an eukaryotic expression vector resulted in a significant reduction in the invasiveness and metastatic ability of these cells as determined using the Transwell chamber invasion assay (P < 0.05). The decrease in or loss of FHL1 expression may be related to the incidence, progression, invasiveness, and metastatic potential of gastric cancer.

Abstract
Four and a half LIM domain protein 1 (FHL1) is the founding member of the FHL family of proteins characterized by the presence of four and a half highly conserved LIM domains. The LIM domain is a protein-interaction motif and is involved in linking proteins with both the actin cytoskeleton and transcriptional machinery. To date, more than 25 different protein interactions have been identified for full length FHL1 and its spliced variants, and these interactions can be mapped to a variety of functional classes. Because FHL1 is expressed predominantly in skeletal muscle, all of these proteins interactions translate into a multifunctional and integral role for FHL1 in muscle development, structural maintenance, and signalling. Importantly, 27 FHL1 genetic mutations have been identified that result in at least six different X-linked myopathies, with patients often presenting with cardiovascular disease. FHL1 expression is also significantly up-regulated in a variety of cardiac disorders, even at the earliest stages of disease onset. Alternatively, FHL1 expression is suppressed in a variety of cancers, and ectopic FHL1 expression offers potential for some phenotype rescue. This review focuses on recent studies of FHL1 in muscular dystrophies and cardiovascular disease, and provides a comprehensive review of FHL1s multifunctional roles in skeletal muscle.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Four and a half LIM domains protein 1 (FHL1) is the most widely expressed member of the FHL family of proteins, consisting of four and a half highly conserved LIM domains. A multifunctional and integral role for FHL1 has been implicated in muscle development, structural maintenance, and signaling. To date, 27 FHL1 mutations have been identified that result in at least six different X-linked myopathies, with patients often presenting with cardiovascular complications. Since proteins assemble into dynamic complexes within the cell, FHL1 likely mediates its biological functions in conjunction with other proteins. Delineation of FHL1 interactions could provide insight into its regulatory functions. METHODS We performed tandem affinity purification from human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK-293) cells to purify FHL1 and interacting proteins. To identify the potential interactors of FHL1 we performed a total of 9 different purifications from HEK-293 cells which included 3 experimental replicates for each biological condition: FHL1, tag control (DPYSL3), and negative control (empty vector). Purified samples were analyzed by liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Potential interactors were then verified by immunoprecipitation from mouse heart ventricles and interactions visualized in adult cardiomyocytes using 3D fluorescence microscopy. RESULTS We identified a total of 310 different proteins from all 9 purifications and by applying stringent filtering criteria we eliminated all proteins found in any of the controls and only allowed those that were detected in two or more bait purification. We identified 34 high confidence potential binding partners of FHL1. We then showed that FHL1 exists as part of a complex that binds with PDLIM1, GSN and ACTN1.

Abstract
Fhl1 (Four and a Half LIM domain 1) regulates muscle growth and development. In addition, skeletal myoblast growth is significantly affected by gender differences, implicating estrogen in the regulation of muscle development. We sought to determine if estrogen influences Fhl1 gene expression levels in rat L6GNR4 myoblastocytes that express the estrogen receptor beta (ERbeta), while luciferase assay, electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA), and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay were employed to confirm the interaction between ERbeta and Fhl1. Treatment of L6GNR4 cells with physiological levels of 17beta-estradiol (E2) results in markedly decreased endogenous Fhl1 expression. Tamoxifen, an ER antagonist, partially reverses E2-mediated Fhl1 down-regulation in L6GNR4 cells. Furthermore, luciferase assay and EMSA identified a novel promoter region of Fhl1 that directly interacts with ERbeta. ChIP of the ERbeta-Fhl1 promoter complex from L6GNR4 cells confirmed that endogenous ERbeta interacts with this region. These data indicate that E2 down-regulates Fhl1 expression through its binding to the ERbeta. This is the first report of a small molecule that can affect Fhl1 expression. E2 may therefore be useful in developing new strategies for regulating Fhl1 expression and understanding the influence of estrogen on muscle growth and development.

Abstract
Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD) is a rare disorder characterized by early joint contractures, muscular dystrophy, and cardiac involvement with conduction defects and arrhythmias. So far, only 35% of EDMD cases are genetically elucidated and associated with EMD or LMNA gene mutations, suggesting the existence of additional major genes. By whole-genome scan, we identified linkage to the Xq26.3 locus containing the FHL1 gene in three informative families belonging to our EMD- and LMNA-negative cohort. Analysis of the FHL1 gene identified seven mutations, in the distal exons of FHL1 in these families, three additional families, and one isolated case, which differently affect the three FHL1 protein isoforms: two missense mutations affecting highly conserved cysteines, one abolishing the termination codon, and four out-of-frame insertions or deletions. The predominant phenotype was characterized by myopathy with scapulo-peroneal and/or axial distribution, as well as joint contractures, and associated with a peculiar cardiac disease characterized by conduction defects, arrhythmias, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in all index cases of the seven families. Heterozygous female carriers were either asymptomatic or had cardiac disease and/or mild myopathy. Interestingly, four of the FHL1-mutated male relatives had isolated cardiac disease, and an overt hypertrophic cardiomyopathy was present in two. Expression and functional studies demonstrated that the FHL1 proteins were severely reduced in all tested patients and that this was associated with a severe delay in myotube formation in the two patients for whom myoblasts were available. In conclusion, FHL1 should be considered as a gene associated with the X-linked EDMD phenotype, as well as with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
Four and a half LIM domains 1 (FHL1) belongs to a family of LIM-only proteins that regulate gene transcription, cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. However, the biological function of FHL1 remains largely unknown. We used a yeast two-hybrid system and identified receptor interacting protein of 140kDa (RIP140) as a novel FHL1-binding protein. RIP140 interacted with FHL1 both in vitro and in mammalian cells and estrogen enhanced this interaction. All domains of FHL1 are required to interact with RIP140. Overexpression of FHL1 enhanced RIP140 repression of estrogen signaling in breast cancer cells in a reporter assay, whereas reduction of endogenous FHL1 with FHL1 small interfering RNA abolished this effect. Furthermore, overexpression of the FHL1 deletion mutant that lacks the RIP140-binding sites had no effect on RIP140 repression of estrogen signaling. Consistent with the results of the reporter assays, FHL1 and RIP140 synergistically inhibited the transcription of the estrogen-responsive gene pS2. The results presented here suggested the cooperative transcriptional regulation of estrogen signaling by FHL1 and RIP140, and might provide a new regulation mechanism by which estrogen signaling-related diseases such as breast cancer develop.

Abstract
The response of cardiomyocytes to biomechanical stress can determine the pathophysiology of hypertrophic cardiac disease, and targeting the pathways regulating these responses is a therapeutic goal. However, little is known about how biomechanical stress is sensed by the cardiomyocyte sarcomere to transduce intracellular hypertrophic signals or how the dysfunction of these pathways may lead to disease. Here, we found that four-and-a-half LIM domains 1 (FHL1) is part of a complex within the cardiomyocyte sarcomere that senses the biomechanical stress-induced responses important for cardiac hypertrophy. Mice lacking Fhl1 displayed a blunted hypertrophic response and a beneficial functional response to pressure overload induced by transverse aortic constriction. A link to the Galphaq (Gq) signaling pathway was also observed, as Fhl1 deficiency prevented the cardiomyopathy observed in Gq transgenic mice. Mechanistic studies demonstrated that FHL1 plays an important role in the mechanism of pathological hypertrophy by sensing biomechanical stress responses via the N2B stretch sensor domain of titin and initiating changes in the titin- and MAPK-mediated responses important for sarcomere extensibility and intracellular signaling. These studies shed light on the physiological regulation of the sarcomere in response to hypertrophic stress.

Abstract
The identities of proteins that show disuse-related changes in the content of oxidative modification are unknown. Furthermore, it is unknown whether the global accumulation of oxidized proteins is greater in aged animals with muscle disuse. The purposes of this study are 1) to identify the exact proteins that show disuse-related changes in oxidation levels and 2) to test the hypothesis that the global accumulation of oxidized proteins with muscle disuse would be greater in aged animals. Adult and old rats were randomized into four groups: weight bearing and 3, 7, or 14 days of hindlimb unloading. Soleus muscles were harvested to investigate the protein oxidation with unloading. Slot blot, SDS-PAGE, and Western blot analyses were used to detect the accumulation of 4-hydroxy-2-nonenol (HNE)- and nitrotyrosine (NT)-modified proteins. Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight and tandem mass spectroscopy were used to identify modified proteins. We found that global HNE- and NT-modified proteins accumulated significantly with aging but not with muscle unloading. Two HNE and NT target proteins, four-and-a-half LIM protein 1 (FHL1) and carbonic anhydrase III (CAIII), showed changes in the oxidation levels with muscle unloading. The changes in the oxidation levels happened to adult rats but not old rats. However, old rats had higher baseline levels of HNE-modified FHL1. In summary, the data suggest that the muscle unloading-related changes of protein oxidation are more significant in specific proteins and that the changes are age related.

Abstract
To investigate the relationship of HOXD13 and FHL1 in idiopathic congenital talipes equinovarus(ICTEV), 84 samples from patients with ICTEV were used in the study. Mutation in the coding region of HOXD13 was detected by denaturing gradinent electrophoresis. The mRNA and protein levels of HOXD13 and FHL1 were evaluated by RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry, respectively. The binding site of FHL1 to HOXD13 predicted by PMATCH software was validated by EMSA( Electrophoretic mobility shift assay,EMSA).No mutation was found in the coding region of HOXD13 in 84 samples from patients with ICTEV. Both HOXD13(33.3%) and FHL1(46.6%) were down-regulated in ICTEV muscle tissue. The result of EMSA showed that the special binding band appeared when HOXD13 existed. The results shows that HOXD13 gene mutation was not involved in outbreak in idiopathic congenital talipes equinovarus, but changes of HOXD13 and FHL1 gene expression related to the development of talipes equinovarus malformation. HOXD13 might play an role in ICTEV through regulating FHL1 expression.

Abstract
Scapuloperoneal (SP) syndrome encompasses heterogeneous neuromuscular disorders characterized by weakness in the shoulder-girdle and peroneal muscles. In a large Italian-American pedigree with dominant SP myopathy (SPM) previously linked to chromosome 12q, we have mapped the disease to Xq26, and, in all of the affected individuals, we identified a missense change (c.365G-->C) in the FHL1 gene encoding four-and-a-half-LIM protein 1 (FHL1). The mutation substitutes a serine for a conserved trypophan at amino acid 122 in the second LIM domain of the protein. Western blot analyses of muscle extracts revealed FHL1 loss that paralleled disease severity. FHL1 and an isoform, FHL1C, are highly expressed in skeletal muscle and may contribute to stability of sarcomeres and sarcolemma, myofibrillary assembly, and transcriptional regulation. This is the first report, to our knowledge, of X-linked dominant SP myopathy and the first human mutation in FHL1.

Abstract
TLX1/HOX11 is an oncogenic transcription factor in human T-cell leukemia, however, the molecular basis for its transforming activity has remained elusive. The ALDH1A1 gene, whose product participates in retinoic acid synthesis, was previously identified as a TLX1-responsive gene. Here, we confirm regulation of ALDH1A1 transcription by TLX1 and show that ALDH1A1 can profoundly perturb murine hematopoiesis by promoting myeloid differentiation at the expense of lymphopoiesis. Together, these data demonstrate that ALDH1A1 plays a key role in normal hematopoiesis, and confirm ALDH1A1 as a TLX1 transcriptional target that may contribute to the ability of this homeoprotein to alter cell fate and induce tumor growth.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS The expression of the four and a half LIM domains 1 gene (FHL1) is increased in the muscle of individuals who show an improvement in insulin sensitivity index (S(I)) after 20 weeks of exercise training. The aim of the present study was to investigate associations between three FHL1 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and variables derived from an IVGTT, both in the sedentary state and in response to exercise training, in participants in the HERITAGE Family Study. MATERIALS AND METHODS SNPs were typed using fluorescence polarisation methodology. Analyses were performed separately by sex and in black and white individuals. RESULTS In black participants, no associations were found with any of the SNPs. In white women (n = 207), SNP rs9018 was associated with the disposition index (D(I)), which is calculated as S(I) generated from the MINMOD program (x10(-4) min(-1)[microU/ml](-1)) multiplied by acute insulin response to glucose (AIR(g); pmol/l x 10 min), and the glucose disappearance index (K(g)) training responses (p = 0.016 and p = 0.008, respectively). In white men (n = 222), all SNPs were associated with fasting glucose levels (p < or = 0.05) and SNP rs2180062 with the insulin sensitivity index (S(I)) (p = 0.04) in the sedentary state. Two SNPs were associated with fasting insulin training response. Fasting insulin decreased to a greater extent in carriers of the rs2180062 C allele (p = 0.01) and rs9018 T allele (p = 0.04). With exercise training, S(I) (x10(-4) min(-1)[microU/ml](-1): 0.68 +/- 0.20 vs -0.77 +/- 0.44, p = 0.046), D(I) (319 +/- 123 vs -528 +/- 260, p = 0.006) and K(g) (per 100 min: 0.09 +/- 0.04 vs -0.14 +/- 0.8, p = 0.03) improved more in the C allele carriers at rs2180062 than in the T allele carriers. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION Fasting insulin and S(I) responses to exercise training were associated with DNA sequence variation in FHL1 in white men. Whether these associations exist only in white men remains to be investigated.

Abstract
Intrinsic regulatory factors play critical roles in early cortical patterning, including the development of the anteroposterior (A-P) axis. To identify genes that are differentially expressed along the A-P axis of the developing cerebral cortex, we analyzed gene expression in presumptive frontal, parietal, and occipital cerebral walls of E12.5 mouse using complementary DNA microarrays. We identified 106 genes, including expressed sequence tags (ESTs), expressed in an A-P gradient in the embryonic brain and screened 88 by in situ hybridization for confirmation. Central nervous system (CNS) expression patterns of many of these genes were previously unknown. Others, such as Sfrp1, CoupTF1, and FABP7, were expressed in a manner consistent with previous studies, providing independent confirmation. Two related transcription factors, previously not implicated in CNS development, Fhl1 and Fhl2, were observed to be enriched in posterior and anterior telencephalon, respectively. We studied patterning gradients in Fhl1 knockout mice but observed no changes in gene expression related to A-P regionalization in the Fhl1 knockout mice. These data provide an important set of new candidates for studies of cortical patterning and maturation.

Abstract
Traumatic injury to the brain is one of the leading causes of injury-related death or disability, especially among young people. Inflammatory processes and oxidative stress likely underlie much of the damage elicited by injury, but the full repertoire of responses involved is not well known. A genomic approach, such as the use of microarrays, provides much insight in this regard, especially if combined with the use of gene-targeted animals. We report here the results of one of these studies comparing wild-type and metallothionein-I + II knockout mice subjected to a cryolesion of the somatosensorial cortex and killed at 0, 1, 4, 8, and 16 days postlesion (dpl) using Affymetrix genechips/oligonucleotide arrays interrogating approximately 10,000 different murine genes (MG_U74Av2). Hierarchical clustering analysis of these genes readily shows an orderly pattern of gene responses at specific times consistent with the processes involved in the initial tissue injury and later regeneration of the parenchyma, as well as a prominent effect of MT-I + II deficiency. The results thoroughly confirmed the importance of the antioxidant proteins MT-I + II in the response of the brain to injury and opened new avenues that were confirmed by immunohistochemistry. Data in KO, MT-I-overexpressing, and MT-II-injected mice strongly suggest a role of these proteins in postlesional activation of neural stem cells.

Abstract
The beneficial effects of regular physical activity on insulin sensitivity (SI) and glucose tolerance are well documented, with considerable heterogeneity in responsiveness to exercise training (ET). To find novel candidate genes for ET-induced improvement in SI, we used microarray technology. Total RNA was isolated from vastus lateralis muscle before and after 20 wk of exercise from individuals participating in the HERITAGE Family Study. SI index was derived from a frequently sampled intravenous glucose tolerance test using MINMOD Millennium software. Sixteen subjects were selected: eight showing no changes in SI (low responders, LSIR) and eight displaying marked improvement in SI (high responders, HSIR) with ET. The SI increase was about four times greater in HSIR compared with LSIR (+3.6 +/- 0.5 vs. -1.2 +/- 0.5 microU.ml(-1).min(-1), mean +/- SE), whereas age, body mass index, percent body fat, and baseline SI were similar between the groups. Triplicate microarrays were performed, comparing pooled RNA with HSIR and LSIR individuals for differences in gene expression before and after ET using in situ-generated microarrays (18, 861 genes). Array data were validated by quantitative RT-PCR. Almost twice as many genes showed at least twofold differences between HSIR and LSIR after training compared with pretraining. We identified differentially expressed genes involved in energy metabolism and signaling, novel structural genes, and transcripts of unknown function. Genes of interest upregulated in HSIR include V-Ski oncogene, four-and-a-half LIM domain 1, and titin. Further study of these novel candidate genes should provide a better understanding of molecular mechanisms involved in the improvement in insulin sensitivity in response to regular exercise.

Abstract
Cardiac hypertrophy is caused by hypertension, myocardial infarction, endocrine disorders, and perturbations in sarcomeric function, and has become a major cause of human morbidity and mortality. The generation of cardiac hypertrophy is associated with regulation of a cardiac gene program by cardiac transcription factors. The LIM proteins have been discovered to play an important role in cardiac hypertrophy. The LIM proteins contain one, two or multiple LIM domains and can be divided into different classes according to their amino acid sequence homologies. The LIM-only proteins, muscle LIM protein and human heart LIM protein are involved in cardiac hypertrophy by functioning as either an integrator of protein assembly of the actin-based cytoskeleton or tissue-specific coactivator of the receptor and the transcription factors. There have been many recent developments in the functions of LIM proteins related to cardiac hypertrophy and their interactions. It is hoped that the knowledge of LIM proteins will at least provide a greater choice of therapies and improved our management of cardiac hypertrophy.
