SBMA is characterized by progressive muscle atrophy of both neurogenic and myopathic etiologies. Previous work has established that mutant AR expression in skeletal muscle could be a significant contributor to neuromuscular decline, yet the mechanisms involved remain ill-defined. As AR is a nuclear hormone receptor transcription factor, we sought to define early changes in gene expression in skeletal muscle of pre-symptomatic SBMA mice, with a focus on transcriptional changes at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ). We describe loss of key NMJ-specific genes in synaptic muscle regions of pre-symptomatic SBMA mice, while extrasynaptic muscle features a coordinated loss of sarcomere genes that coincides with ectopic re-expression of certain NMJ genes. Furthermore, SBMA muscle prominently features dysregulated calcium flux, likely stemming from a compensatory response to early atrophy that greatly exacerbates over time. The SERCA activator CDN1163 conferred a mild rescue in function and muscle size in SBMA mice, while genetic deletion of the gene encoding Myf6\/MRF4, a negative regulator of sarcomere gene expression and predicted AR interactor, did not ameliorate muscle atrophy. These studies suggest that modulation of calcium flux could be a promising pharmacological target in SBMA.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/hmg\/ddaf074","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,8]],"date-time":"2025-05-08T07:26:55Z","timestamp":1746689215000},"page":"1238-1251","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Neuromuscular
