Unlocking the Role of sMyBP-C: A Key Player in Skeletal Muscle Development and Growth.

ABSTRACT: Skeletal muscle is the largest organ in the body, responsible for gross movement and metabolic regulation. Recently, variants in the MYBPC1 gene have been implicated in a variety of developmental muscle diseases, such as distal arthrogryposis. How MYBPC1 variants cause disease is not well understood. Here, through a collection of novel gene-edited mouse models, we define a critical role for slow myosin binding protein-C (sMyBP-C), encoded by MYBPC1, across muscle development, growth, and maintenance during prenatal, perinatal, postnatal and adult stages. Specifically, Mybpc1 knockout mice exhibited early postnatal lethality and impaired skeletal muscle formation and structure, skeletal deformity, and respiratory failure. Moreover, a conditional knockout of Mybpc1 in perinatal, postnatal and adult stages demonstrates impaired postnatal muscle growth and function secondary to disrupted actomyosin interaction and sarcomere structural integrity. These findings confirm the essential role of sMyBP-C in skeletal muscle and reveal specific functions in both prenatal embryonic musculoskeletal development and postnatal muscle growth and function.

Project description:Stromal interaction molecules (STIM) were identified as the endoplasmic-reticulum (ER) Ca2+ sensor controlling store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) and Ca2+-release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channels in non-excitable cells. STIM proteins target Orai1-3, tetrameric Ca2+-permeable channels in the plasma membrane. Structure-function analysis revealed the molecular determinants and the key steps in the activation process of Orai by STIM. Recently, STIM1 was found to be expressed at high levels in skeletal muscle controlling muscle function and properties. Novel STIM targets besides Orai channels are emerging.Here, we will focus on the role of STIM1 in skeletal-muscle structure, development and function. The molecular mechanism underpinning skeletal-muscle physiology points toward an essential role for STIM1-controlled SOCE to drive Ca2+/calcineurin/nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT)-dependent morphogenetic remodeling programs and to support adequate sarcoplasmic-reticulum (SR) Ca2+-store filling. Also in our hands, STIM1 is transiently up-regulated during the initial phase of in vitro myogenesis of C2C12 cells. The molecular targets of STIM1 in these cells likely involve Orai channels and canonical transient receptor potential (TRPC) channels TRPC1 and TRPC3. The fast kinetics of SOCE activation in skeletal muscle seem to depend on the triad-junction formation, favoring a pre-localization and/or pre-formation of STIM1-protein complexes with the plasma-membrane Ca2+-influx channels. Moreover, Orai1-mediated Ca2+ influx seems to be essential for controlling the resting Ca2+ concentration and for proper SR Ca2+ filling. Hence, Ca2+ influx through STIM1-dependent activation of SOCE from the T-tubule system may recycle extracellular Ca2+ losses during muscle stimulation, thereby maintaining proper filling of the SR Ca2+ stores and muscle function. Importantly, mouse models for dystrophic pathologies, like Duchenne muscular dystrophy, point towards an enhanced Ca2+ influx through Orai1 and/or TRPC channels, leading to Ca2+-dependent apoptosis and muscle degeneration. In addition, human myopathies have been associated with dysfunctional SOCE. Immunodeficient patients harboring loss-of-function Orai1 mutations develop myopathies, while patients suffering from Duchenne muscular dystrophy display alterations in their Ca2+-handling proteins, including STIM proteins. In any case, the molecular determinants responsible for SOCE in human skeletal muscle and for dysregulated SOCE in patients of muscular dystrophy require further examination.
