Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Limb-girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMD) exhibit progressive muscle weakness accompanied by degeneration of muscle fibers in the proximal muscle. LGMD2A type accounts for about 30% of LGMD and the responsible gene CAPN3 encodes for a skeletal muscle-specific calpain, an intracellular cysteine protease. Here we tried to elucidate the pathogenic molecular mechanism of LGMD2A by comparing two different mouse models of LGMD2A established by genetic modification of CAPN3. Both model animals, one lacks protease activity of CAPN3 but not the protein, namely, knock-in mouse, and another, CAPN3 knock-out mouse, showed a delay in maturation of muscle fiber. Detailed characterization of the phenomenon suggested that molecular components affected under these two conditions were different from each other. In summary, harmful effects of functional deficiency of CAPN3 in regeneration process induced by degeneration of skeletal muscle should be considered when exploring the pathology of LGMD2A.
