Phenotypic variability in a Chinese family with rimmed vacuolar distal myopathy.
BACKGROUND UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase/N-acetylmannosamine kinase (GNE) gene mutations have been found in patients with distal myopathy with rimmed vacuoles (DMRV). It is not clear how the same GNE gene mutations can result in different phenotypes in the same family with DMRV. METHODS The clinical, neurophysiological, histopathological, and genetic characteristics of two patients with...
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 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...
متن کاملMinocycline-associated rimmed vacuolar myopathy in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis
BACKGROUND The autophagic vacuolar myopathies (AVM) are a group of inherited myopathies defined by the presence of autophagic vacuoles in pathological muscle specimens. AVM can be categorized into three groups: acid maltase deficiency, myopathies characterized by autophagic vacuoles with unique sarcolemmal features, and rimmed vacuolar myopathies (RVM). While the pathogeneses of these condition...
