Experiment

Circulating corticosterone levels in liver specific Klf15 KO mice Part 3
Summary Data Summary
Investigator Haldar, Saptarsi
Description KLF15 influence corticosterone level.

Classic physiological studies have documented the endurance-promoting effects of
glucocorticoid (GC) hormones on skeletal muscle. Pharmacologic GC therapy also
improves muscle function in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a
genetic muscle-wasting disease. Despite these well-established physiological and
clinical observations, the molecular basis underlying the beneficial effects of
GCs in skeletal muscle remains obscure. This study shows that physiological
effects of GCs on muscle endurance and their therapeutic effect in DMD are
mediated, in part, via activation of a potent metabolic gene called Kruppel-like
factor 15 (KLF15). Importantly, KLF15 does not drive GC-mediated muscle wasting.
These data shed light on the poorly understood ergogenic properties of GCs,
findings that may inform steroid-sparing therapies for DMD and other muscle
diseases.
