- Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptors (IP3Rs) drive calcium signals involved in skeletal muscle excitation-transcription coupling and plasticity IP3R subtype distribution and downstream events evoked by their activation have not been studied in human muscle nor has their possible alteration in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). We studied the expression and localization of IP3R subtypes in normal and DMD human muscle and in normal (RCMH) and dystrophic (RCDMD) human muscle cell lines. In normal muscle, both type 1 IP3Rs (IP3R1) and type 2 IP3Rs (IP3R2) show a higher expression in type II fibers whereas type 3 IP3Rs (IP3R3) show uniform distribution. In DMD biopsies, all fibers display a homoge neous IP3R2 label, whereas 24 7% of type II fibers have lost the IP3R1 label. RCDMD cells show 5-fold overexpression of IP3R2 and down-regulation of IP3R3 compared with RCMH cells. A tetanic stimulus induces IP3-dependent slow Ca2+ transients significantly large and faster in RCDMD cells than in RCMH cells as well as significant ERK1/2 phosphorylation in normal but not in dystrophic cells. Excitation-driven gene expression was different among cell lines; 44 common genes were repressed in RCMH cells and expressed in RCDMD cells or vice versa. IP3-dependent Ca release may play a significant role in DMD pathophysiology.
