Adenylate cyclase in muscular dystrophy.

Abstract:

:The purpose of this study was to determine whether the previously reported differences in adenylate cyclase activity between the sarcolemma of normal and dystrophic chick muscles are also found in the SR, to search for a possible relationship between the adenylate cyclase changes and the pathophysiology of dystrophy, and to investigate whether the findings can be extended to Duchenne human muscular dystrophy by studying the adenylate cyclase and ATPase activities of erythrocyte ghosts from DMD patients and carriers. Microsomes were separated by standard techniques from the pectoralis muscles of normal and dystrophic ckeckens of various ages. The microsomal yields were significantly larger in dystrophic muscles. Adenylate cyclase activities in dystrophic microsomes were higher than those in matched controls and increased with the progression of the disease. The ratio between the two rose from one at 2 weeks of age to nine at about 9--10 weeks. Kinetic analyses showed that the ks for MgATP2- was about 40 microM (at 3 mM Mg2+ and 0.3 mM Ca2+) both in normal and dystrophic microsomes, that calcium caused umcompetitive inhibition of the enzyme (Ki = 0.2 mM), that the effect of calcium was noncooperative (Hill coefficient, nH = 1), that calcium did not affect the cooperativity for MgATP2-, and that magnesium competitively removed the calcium inhibition and caused additional, cooperative stimulation of the enzymatic activity (ka = 1.5 mM; NH =2). The major difference between normal and dystrophic adenylate cyclase was a higher enzymatic velocity in the latter, suggesting a larger amount of enzyme. We investigated whether altered cAMP levels may effect calcium accumulation. Calcium uptake measured (in the presence of oxalate) at several ages revealed no difference between normal and dystrophic chickens. The extent of calcium binding was also similar, although the kd for Ca2+ was lower in dystrophic microsomes. Binding was enhanced in the presence of exogenous protein kinase, but the responses of normal and dystrophic tissues were similar. We concluded that the elevation of adenylate cyclase in dystrophy was not related to microsomal calcium accumultion. Ivestigation of the localization of microsomal adenylate cyclase supported this view. Separation of calcium-loaded microsomes on a discontinuous sucrose gradient into four fractions demonstrated that adenylate cyclase activity, measured in the presence of Lubrol-PX and EGTA, was inversely related to calcium-accumulating activity. Na+, K+-ATPase comigrated with adenylate cyclase. Highest specific activities were found in the lightest fraction. These observations were confirmed by histochemical studies. The reaction product from adenylate cyclase activity was present predominantly in the terminal cisternae of the SR. In the context of the literature, our findings suggest that the rises in adenylate cyclase and Na+, K+-ATPase in avian dystrophy are compensatory changes, elicited by a defect in ECC at the calcium release step...
