Modulation of acetylcholine receptor function in TE671 (rhabdomyosarcoma) cells by non-AChR ligands: possible relevance to seronegative myasthenia gravis.

Abstract:

:The acetylcholine receptor (AChR) is the main target antigen in myasthenia gravis (MG), but about 15% of patients with typical immunologically mediated MG do not have detectable anti-AChR antibodies. Previous studies showed that plasma from these 'seronegative' patients (SNMG) reduced AChR function in the human AChR-expressing TE671 cell line, and it was proposed that SNMG plasmas may act indirectly via phosphorylation of AChR. We show here that substances such as the beta 2-adrenergic agonist, salbutamol, calcitonin-gene-related-peptide (CGRP), and cholera toxin, that increase intracellular cAMP via binding to specific cell-surface receptors, reduced AChR function in TE671 cells. Moreover, non-specific activation of cell surface proteins by lectins achieved similar results. These observations lead us to hypothesise that SNMG immunoglobulins act in TE671 cells by cross-linking of specific cell surface antigen(s) resulting in generation of intracellular cAMP and/or other second messengers. The role of such antibodies at the neuromuscular junction in vivo could be reduction in AChR function by desensitization and/or damage to the postsynaptic membrane following complement activation.
