  • Publication number: 20240115583
    Abstract: Provided herein are compositions for preventing or treating muscle conditions such as muscle damage, injury, or atrophy. In some embodiments, the compositions comprise a prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) compound and a myotoxin. In some embodiments, the muscle damage, injury, or atrophy is the result of a nerve injury, a surgical procedure, or a traumatic injury. Methods of promoting muscle regeneration and methods of increasing muscle mass are also provided herein.

  • Publication number: 20220304992
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides compositions and methods based on the identification of 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (15-PGDH) as a therapeutic target in aging, dystrophic muscle to improve muscle atrophy, increase muscle mass, function and strength. Further provided herein are compositions and methods for the rejuvenation of aged tissue. In particular, 15-PGDH inhibitors, such as SW033291, are used to elevate the levels of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in the muscle or tissue.

  • Publication number: 20200147103
    Abstract: Provided herein are compositions, methods, and kits for proliferating muscle cells by exposing the muscle cells to a prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) compound or compound that activates PGE2 signaling. Also provided are methods for regenerating muscle in a subject suffering from muscular atrophy, dystrophy, and/or injury by administering a PGE2 compound alone or in combination with isolated muscle cells. The PGE2 compound in combination with the isolated muscle cells can be administered prophylactically to prevent a muscle disease or condition.
