Nuclear Small Dystrophin Isoforms during Muscle Differentiation
Mutations in the DMD gene can cause Duchenne or Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD/BMD) by affecting the giant isoform of dystrophin, a protein encoded by the DMD gene. The role of small dystrophin isoforms is not well investigated yet, and they may play a role in muscle development and molecular pathol...

description | Mutations in the DMD gene can cause Duchenne or Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD/BMD) by affecting the giant isoform of dystrophin, a protein encoded by the DMD gene. The role of small dystrophin isoforms is not well investigated yet, and they may play a role in muscle development and molecular pathology. Here, we investigated the nuclear localization of short carboxy-terminal dystrophin isoforms during the in vitro differentiation of human, porcine, and murine myoblast cultures. We could not only confirm the presence of Dp71 in the nucleoplasm and at the nuclear envelope, but we could also identify the Dp40 isoform in muscle nuclei. The localization of both isoforms over the first six days of differentiation was similar between human and porcine myoblasts, but murine myoblasts behaved differently. This highlights the importance of the porcine model in investigating DMD. We could also detect a wave-like pattern of nuclear presence of both Dp71 and Dp40, indicating a direct or indirect involvement in gene expression control during muscle differentiation. |
