    Description: Preclinical or clinical trials for muscular dystrophies have met with modest success, mainly because of inefficient delivery of viral vectors or donor cells to dystrophic muscles. We report here that intra-arterial delivery of wild-type mesoangioblasts, a class of vessel-associated stem cells, corrects morphologically and functionally the dystrophic phenotype of virtually all downstream muscles in adult immunocompetent alpha-sarcoglycan (alpha-SG) null mice, a model organism for limb-girdle muscular dystrophy. When mesoangioblasts isolated from juvenile dystrophic mice and transduced with a lentiviral vector expressing alpha-SG were injected into the femoral artery of dystrophic mice, they reconstituted skeletal muscle in a manner similar to that seen in wild-type cells. The success of this protocol was mainly due to widespread distribution of donor stem cells through the capillary network, a distinct advantage of this strategy over previous approaches.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Sampaolesi, Maurilio -- Torrente, Yvan -- Innocenzi, Anna -- Tonlorenzi, Rossana -- D'Antona, Giuseppe -- Pellegrino, M Antonietta -- Barresi, Rita -- Bresolin, Nereo -- De Angelis, M Gabriella Cusella -- Campbell, Kevin P -- Bottinelli, Roberto -- Cossu, Giulio -- 1322/Telethon/Italy -- 463/BI/Telethon/Italy -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Jul 25;301(5632):487-92.

    Description: Control of integrin affinity for ligands (integrin activation) is essential for normal cell adhesion, migration, and assembly of an extracellular matrix. Integrin activation is usually mediated through the integrin beta subunit cytoplasmic tail and can be regulated by many different biochemical signaling pathways. We report that specific binding of the cytoskeletal protein talin to integrin beta subunit cytoplasmic tails leads to the conformational rearrangements of integrin extracellular domains that increase their affinity. Thus, regulated binding of talin to integrin beta tails is a final common element of cellular signaling cascades that control integrin activation.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Tadokoro, Seiji -- Shattil, Sanford J -- Eto, Koji -- Tai, Vera -- Liddington, Robert C -- de Pereda, Jose M -- Ginsberg, Mark H -- Calderwood, David A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Oct 3;302(5642):103-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Cell Biology, The Scripps Research Institute, The Burnham Institute, La Jolla, CA 92037, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14526080" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
