Research Abstract

Processing of β-dystroglycan(β-DG) by matrix metalloproteinases(MMPs) has been considered to play a fundamental role in muscle degeneration in sarcoglycan(SG)-deficient muscular dystrophy. Here we generate triple knockout(TKO) mice deficient to MMP-2, MMP-9, and γ-SG to investigate in vivo processing of β-DG by MMP-2, MMP-9.Muscle pathology of TKO mice was comparable to that of γ-SG-knockout mice. Unexpectedly, the 30-kDa-processed form of β-DG was present in TKO mouse muscles likewise γ-SG-null mouse muscles. These findings indicate that MMPs other than MMP-2/9 participate in the molecular mechanism underlying the processing of β-DG in sarcoglycan-deficient muscular dystrophy.
