Excitation-Contraction Coupling Alterations in Myopathies

Abstract: During the complex series of events leading to muscle contraction, the initial electric signal coming from motor neurons is transformed into an increase in calcium concentration that triggers sliding of myofibrils. This process, referred to as excitation–contraction coupling, is reliant upon the calcium-release complex, which is restricted spatially to a sub-compartment of muscle cells (“the triad”) and regulated precisely. Any dysfunction in the calcium-release complex leads to muscle impairment and myopathy.… Show more

“…The IVCT requires an open biopsy to obtain sufficient fresh skeletal muscle tissue and may yield false-negative results [25]. Approximately 50% of MH-susceptible individuals exhibit cores on biopsy whereas others, without a history of myopathy prior to an MH episode (MH trait only), do not [8, 26, 27]. It is therefore challenging to rule out MH susceptibility in individuals with pathogenic RYR1 missense variants, and this is compounded by the fact that susceptible individuals do not always exhibit symptoms following initial exposure(s) to triggering agents.…”

“…Nevertheless, collectively, there is no ideal in vivo RYR1 -RM animal model, but work is underway to develop a model that better resembles this spectrum of diseases as a whole. Caution must also be taken when comparing results across different model systems [26].…”

“…The impact of RYR1 mutations are either an alteration of the RyR1 calcium channel function (gain-or loss-of-function), a modification of the RyR1-DHPR coupling, or the reduction in the amount of RyR1 protein. In all cases, the consequence is a reduction in the amplitude of calcium release upon stimulation, resulting in muscle weakness [3][4][5][6][7][8]. To explore the various pathophysiology mechanisms associated with RYR1 mutations, different mouse models have been created.…”

“…Many lines of evidence suggest that certain inherited human myopathies originate from the expression of overactive or leaky RyR1s (reviewed recently by Fauré et al, [89] and Marty et al, [90]). Remarkably, Andronache and coworkers (2009) found that the altered gating of one of these RyR1 mutant proteins (Y522S) also exerts a retrograde influence on the function of Ca V 1.1 [91].…”
