Identification of secondary effects of hyperexcitability by proteomic profiling of myotonic mouse muscle.

چکیده
Myotonia is a symptom of various genetic and acquired skeletal muscular disorders and is characterized by hyperexcitability of the sarcolemma. Here, we have performed a comparative proteomic study of the genetic mouse models ADR, MTO and MTO*5J of human congenital myotonia in order to determine myotonia-specific changes in the global protein complement of gastrocnemius muscle. Proteomic analyses of myotonia in the mouse, which is caused by mutations in the gene encoding the muscular chloride channel Clc1, revealed a generally perturbed protein expression pattern in severely affected ADR and MTO muscle, but less pronounced alterations in mildly diseased MTO*5J mice. Alterations were found in major metabolic pathways, the contractile machinery, ion handling elements, the cellular stress response and cell signaling mechanisms, clearly confirming a glycolytic-to-oxidative transformation process in myotonic fast muscle. In the long-term, a detailed biomarker signature of myotonia will improve our understanding of the pathobiochemical processes underlying this disorder and be helpful in determining how a single mutation in a tissue-specific gene can trigger severe downstream effects on the expression levels of a very large number of genes in contractile tissues.

Transcriptional and post-transcriptional impact of toxic RNA in myotonic dystrophy.
Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is an RNA dominant disease in which mutant transcripts containing an expanded CUG repeat (CUG(exp)) cause muscle dysfunction by interfering with biogenesis of other mRNAs. The toxic effects of mutant RNA are mediated partly through sequestration of splicing regulator Muscleblind-like 1 (Mbnl1), a protein that binds to CUG(exp) RNA. A gene that is prominently affe...

Mexiletine as the first choice drug in myotonia treatment is a chiral sodium channel blocker clinically used in its racemic form. The phenolic structure of this drug, prompted us to design its novel calix[4]arene-based cluster in a chalice-shaped structure. Therefore, the present study reports the synthesis and in-vitro anti-myotonic activity of the chalice-shaped cluster of mexiletine...

متن کاملIdentification of transcriptional targets for Six5: implication for the pathogenesis of myotonic dystrophy type 1.
Myotonic dystrophy 1 (DM1) is the most common inherited neuromuscular disease in adults. The disorder, characterized by myotonia, muscle wasting and weakness, cataract, insulin resistance, and mental impairment, is caused by the expansion of an unstable CTG repeat located in the 3' untranslated region of DMPK. The repeat expansion suppresses the expression of the homeobox gene SIX5. We describe...
