Sekiguchi M, Zushida K, Yoshida M, Maekawa M, Kamichi S, Yoshida M, et al.
Brain . 2008 Oct; 132(Pt 1):124-35. PMID: 18927146
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is accompanied by cognitive deficits and psychiatric symptoms. In the brain, dystrophin, the protein responsible for DMD, is localized to a subset of GABAergic synapses, but...

Shibuya N, Tanaka M, Yoshida M, Ogasawara Y, Togawa T, Ishii K, et al.
Antioxid Redox Signal . 2008 Oct; 11(4):703-14. PMID: 18855522
Hydrogen sulfide (H(2)S) is a synaptic modulator as well as a neuroprotectant. Currently, pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (PLP)-dependent cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS) is thought to be the major H(2)S-producing enzyme in the brain. We...

Ampong B, Imamura M, Matsumiya T, Yoshida M, Takeda S
Acta Myol . 2006 Mar; 24(2):134-44. PMID: 16550931
Mutations in the dysferlin gene underlie two phenotypically distinct muscular dystrophies: Miyoshi myopathy and limb-girdle muscular dystrophy 2B. Dysferlin was proposed to have a putative functional role in mediating the...

Ozawa E, Mizuno Y, Hagiwara Y, Sasaoka T, Yoshida M
Muscle Nerve . 2005 Jun; 32(5):563-76. PMID: 15937871
The original sarcoglycan (SG) complex has four subunits and comprises a subcomplex of the dystrophin-dystrophin-associated protein complex. Each SG gene has been shown to be responsible for limb-girdle muscular dystrophy,...

Ishikawa-Sakurai M, Yoshida M, Imamura M, Davies K, Ozawa E
Hum Mol Genet . 2004 Feb; 13(7):693-702. PMID: 14962982
An intracellular protein, dystrophin, plays an important role in keeping muscle fibers intact by binding at its N-terminal end to the subsarcolemmal cytoskeletal actin network and via its C-terminal end...

Sasaoka T, Imamura M, Araishi K, Noguchi S, Mizuno Y, Takagoshi N, et al.
Neuromuscul Disord . 2003 Mar; 13(3):193-206. PMID: 12609501
While calf muscle hypertrophy is a striking diagnostic finding in sarcoglycanopathy, as it is in Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies, its pathogenetic mechanism remains unknown. gamma-Sarcoglycan, one of the subunits...
