Novel Mutations of the GNE Gene in Distal Myopathy with Rimmed Vacuoles Presenting with Very Slow Progression
We report novel compound heterozygous mutations of the UDP-N-acetylglucosamine-2-epimerase and N-acetylmannosamine kinase (GNE) gene, c.302G>A (p.R101H) and c.617-4A>G, in a Japanese family with distal myopathy with rimmed vacuoles (DMRV) presenting with slow progression. The three patients could stand and walk even 36, 34, and 39 years after onset, respectively, although affected individuals b...
متن کاملProteasomes in distal myopathy with rimmed vacuoles.
In a previous report we suggested that muscle fibers in distal myopathy with rimmed vacuoles (DMRV) were degraded by both lysosomal proteolysis (cathepsins) and Ca2+-dependent, nonlysosomal proteolysis (calpain). Given recent evidence of abnormal ubiquitin accumulation in rimmed vacuoles, we examined the role of the ATP-ubiquitin-dependent proteolytic pathway (proteasomes) in myofiber degradati...
متن کاملA Novel Mutation of the GNE Gene in Distal Myopathy with Rimmed Vacuoles: A Case with Inflammation
Distal myopathy with rimmed vacuoles (DMRV) is an autosomal recessive or sporadic early adult-onset myopathy caused by mutations in the UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase and N-acetylmannosamine kinase (GNE) gene. Characteristic pathologic features of DMRV are rimmed vacuoles on muscle biopsy and tubulofilamentous inclusion in ultrastructural study. Presence of inflammation in DMRV is unusual....
متن کاملThe ubiquitin-proteasome pathway in distal myopathy with rimmed vacuoles.
The protein synthesis and degradation of eukaryotic cells must be highly selective and tightly regulated to maintain cellular homeostasis. Like other tissues, muscle contains multiple pathways for protein breakdown including the lysosomal, Ca2+-dependent, and cytosolic ATP-dependent and independent proteolytic systems. These pathways are considered to play important roles not only in cellular d...
متن کاملAquaporin-4 expression in distal myopathy with rimmed vacuoles
BACKGROUND Distal myopathy with rimmed vacuoles/hereditary inclusion body myopathy is clinically characterized by the early involvement of distal leg muscles. The striking pathological features of the myopathy are muscle fibers with rimmed vacuoles. To date, the role of aquaporin-4 water channel in distal myopathy with rimmed vacuoles/hereditary inclusion body myopathy has not been studied. C...
