Abstract
Mutations of the human desmin gene on chromosome 2q35 cause autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive and sporadic forms of protein aggregation myopathies and cardiomyopathies. We generated R349P desmin knock-in mice, which harbor the ortholog of the most frequently occurring human desmin missense mutation R350P. These mice develop age-dependent desmin-positive protein aggregation pathology, skeletal muscle weakness, dilated cardiomyopathy, as well as cardiac arrhythmias and conduction defects. For the first time, we report the expression level and subcellular distribution of mutant versus wild-type desmin in our mouse model as well as in skeletal muscle specimens derived from human R350P desminopathies. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the missense-mutant desmin inflicts changes of the subcellular localization and turnover of desmin itself and of direct desmin-binding partners. Our findings unveil a novel principle of pathogenesis, in which not the presence of protein aggregates, but disruption of the extrasarcomeric intermediate filament network leads to increased mechanical vulnerability of muscle fibers. These structural defects elicited at the myofiber level finally impact the entire organ and subsequently cause myopathy and cardiomyopathy.

[description_short] => Une méthode simple pour quantifier objectivement la force musculaire des rats et souris et l'effet de drogues, toxines, maladies musculaires (ex: myopathie) et neurodégénératives. Cette mesure de force est souvent employée en association avec le test de coordination motrice ROTAROD: un sujet présentant une coordination normale montrera des résultats médiocres en cas de faible force musculaire. Un must pour vos recherches sur l'activité, la coordination et le contrôle musculaire: particulièrement utile pour vos études sur les maladies de Parkinson et Huntington.
