Congenital myasthenic syndromes with acetylcholinesterase deficiency, the pathophysiological mechanisms

Abstract: The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is a cholinergic synapse in vertebrates. This synapse connects motoneurons to muscles and is responsible for muscle contraction, a physiological process that is essential for survival. A key factor for the normal functioning of this synapse is the regulation of acetylcholine (ACh) levels in the synaptic cleft. This is ensured by acetylcholinesterase (AChE), which degrades ACh. A number of mutations in synaptic genes expressed in motoneurons or muscle cells have been identified … Show more

“…Neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction [24] , endocrine regulated calcium reabsorption [25] , cholinergic synapse [26] , Hedgehog signaling pathway [27] are mainly related to the inflammatory reaction and the occurrence and development of cancer cells and participates in the process of cell cycle change and apoptosis. TGF-β signaling pathway [28] can affect PTGS2 -and ADRB2 gene to mediate brain activity, thus affecting the transmission of neural information.…”

“…Mutations in the central collagen domain containing two heparan sulfate proteoglycan binding (HSPBP) domains cause loss of assembly of the COLQ strands in a triple helix, and mutations in the C-terminal region lead to the synthesis of single-or triple-strands of COLQ-AChE, which are unable to bind to the basal lamina [3,9,12,33]. causative COLQ mutations cause an endplate AChE deficiency with an abnormality that varies from normal secretion with decreased activity to the total absence of the protein [25,26]. They are responsible for a broad range of severity and clinical features (from mild muscle weakness to wheelchair boundness, or early death) for congenital myasthenic syndrome type-5 [27,28].…”

“…First, the prolonged time of ACh at the synaptic cleft produce desensitization of AChRs and secondary endplate myopathy with loss of AChRs due to sarcoplasmic Ca 2+ overload [ 51 ]. Second, if COLQ mutations alter the interaction of ColQ with MuSK or perlecan, this could impact postsynaptic differentiation [ 52 , 53 ]. COLQ mutations have been reported in all domains of the protein with no phenotype–genotype correlation [ 54 ].…”
