Abstract:
:We investigated whether the reduced intramembranous particles (IMP) in the muscle plasma membrane in mdx mice reflects a preferential depletion of a particular size of the IMP. The experiments were performed using the freeze-fracture method to analyze the frequency distribution of the size of IMP, the density of orthogonal array and caveolae in the extensor digitorum longus (EDL) and soleus (SOL) muscles obtained from mdx and control mice. We detected a reduced density of IMP and orthogonal array, and the increased density of caveolae in EDL muscle but not in SOL in the mdx mouse compared with those of the same muscles in control animals. The reduction of IMP was, however, not limited to any specific size of IMP. Our results suggest that the dystrophin associated glycoprotein present in the membrane does not reflect a specific size of IMP. Therefore, our findings indicate that the mechanism of reduced IMP in dystrophinopathy may be different from that of diminished dystrophin binding glycoprotein associated with dystrophin deficiency in Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
