چکیده

Isozymes of creatine kinase and glycogen phosphorylase are excellent markers of skeletal muscle maturation. In adult innervated muscle only the muscle-gene-specific isozymes are present, whereas aneurally cultured human muscle has predominantly the fetal pattern of isozymes. We have studied the isozyme pattern of human muscle cultured in monolayer and innervated by rat embryo spinal cord explants for 20-42 d. In this culture system, large groups of innervated muscle fibers close to the ventral part of the spinal cord explant continuously contracted. The contractions were reversibly blocked by 1 mM d-tubocurarine. In those innervated fibers, the total activity and the muscle-gene-specific isozymes of both enzymes increased significantly. The amount of muscle-gene-specific isozymes directly correlated with the duration of innervation. Control noninnervated muscle fibers from the same dishes as the innervated fibers remained biochemically immature. This study demonstrated that de novo innervation of human muscle cultured in monolayer exerts a time-related maturational influence that is not mediated by a diffusable neural factor.

A comparative study of human muscle and brain creatine kinases expressed in Escherichia coli.

We report the expression of the human muscle (CK-MM) and brain (CK-BB) creatine kinases in Escherichia coli. The proteins have been purified to apparent homogeneity and several of their physical and kinetic properties investigated. In the process, we have conclusively verified the correct DNA sequence of the genes encoding the respective isozymes, and determined the correct primary structure an...

Expression of muscle-type phosphorylase in innervated and aneural cultured muscle of patients with myophosphorylase deficiency.

Patients with McArdle's myopathy lack muscle glycogen phosphorylase (M-GP) activity. Regenerating and cultured muscle of patients with McArdle's myopathy presents a glycogen phosphorylase (GP) activity, but it is not firmly established whether M-GP or non-M-GP isoforms are expressed. We have cultured myoblasts from biopsy specimen of five patients with McArdle's myopathy. Skeletal muscle was cu...
