- W4313244598 abstract "Although progressive wasting and weakness of respiratory muscles are the prominent hallmarks of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and long-COVID (also referred as the post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 syndrome); however, the underlying mechanism(s) leading to respiratory failure in both conditions remain unclear. We put together the latest relevant literature to further understand the plausible mechanism(s) behind diaphragm malfunctioning in COVID-19 and DMD conditions. Previously, we have shown the role of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9) in skeletal muscle fibrosis via a substantial increase in the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) employing a DMD mouse model that was crossed-bred with MMP9-knockout (MMP9-KO or MMP9-/-) strain. Interestingly, recent observations from clinical studies show a robust increase in neopterin (NPT) levels during COVID-19 which is often observed in patients having DMD. What seems to be common in both (DMD and COVID-19) is the involvement of neopterin (NPT). We know that NPT is generated by activated white blood cells (WBCs) especially the M1 macrophages in response to inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4), and tetrahydrofolate (FH4) pathways, i.e., folate one-carbon metabolism (FOCM) in conjunction with epigenetics underpinning as an immune surveillance protection. Studies from our laboratory, and others researching DMD and the genetically engineered humanized (hACE2) mice that were administered with the spike protein (SP) of SARS-CoV-2 revealed an increase in the levels of NPT, TNF-α, HDAC, IL-1β, CD147, and MMP9 in the lung tissue of the animals that were subsequently accompanied by fibrosis of the diaphragm depicting a decreased oscillation phenotype. Therefore, it is of interest to understand how regulatory processes such as epigenetics involvement affect DNMT, HDAC, MTHFS, and iNOS that help generate NPT in the long-COVID patients." @default.
