CIC-39Na reverses the thrombocytopenia that characterizes tubular aggregate myopathy.

ABSTRACT: Store-operated Ca2+-entry is a cellular mechanism that governs the replenishment of intracellular stores of Ca2+ upon depletion caused by the opening of intracellular Ca2+-channels. Gain-of-function mutations of the 2 key proteins of store-operated Ca2+-entry, STIM1 and ORAI1, are associated with several ultra-rare diseases clustered as tubular aggregate myopathies. Our group has previously demonstrated that a mouse model bearing the STIM1 p.I115F mutation recapitulates the main features of the STIM1 gain-of-function disorders: muscle weakness and thrombocytopenia. Similar findings have been found in other mice bearing different mutations on STIM1. At present, no valid treatment is available for these patients. In the present contribution, we report that CIC-39Na, a store-operated Ca2+-entry inhibitor, restores platelet number and counteracts the abnormal bleeding that characterizes these mice. Subtle differences in thrombopoiesis were observed in STIM1 p.I115F mice, but the main difference between wild-type and STIM1 p.I115F mice was in platelet clearance and in the levels of platelet cytosolic basal Ca2+. Both were restored on treatment of animals with CIC-39Na. This finding paves the way to a pharmacological treatment strategy for thrombocytopenia in tubular aggregate myopathy patients.

Project description:Tubular aggregate myopathy (TAM) is an inherited skeletal muscle disease associated with progressive muscle weakness, cramps, and myalgia. Tubular aggregates (TAs) are regular arrays of highly ordered and densely packed SR straight-tubes in muscle biopsies; the extensive presence of TAs represent a key histopathological hallmark of this disease in TAM patients. TAM is caused by gain-of-function mutations in proteins that coordinate store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE): STIM1 Ca2+ sensor proteins in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and Ca2+-permeable ORAI1 channels in the surface membrane. We have previously shown that voluntary wheel running (VWR) prevents formation of TAs in aging mice. Here, we assessed the therapeutic potential of endurance exercise (in the form of VWR) in mitigating the functional and structural alterations in a knock-in mouse model of TAM (Orai1G100S/+ or GS mice) based on a gain-of-function mutation in the ORAI1 pore. WT and GS mice were singly-housed for six months (from two to eight months of age) with either free-spinning or locked low profile wheels. Six months of VWR exercise significantly increased soleus peak tetanic specific force production, normalized FDB fiber Ca2+ store content, and markedly reduced TAs in EDL muscle from GS mice. Six months of VWR exercise normalized the expression of mitochondrial proteins found to be altered in soleus muscle of sedentary GS mice in conjunction with a signature of increased protein translation and biosynthetic processes. Parallel proteomic analyses of EDL muscles from sedentary WT and GS mice revealed changes in a tight network of pathways involved in formation of supramolecular complexes, which were also normalized following six months of VWR. In summary, sustained voluntary endurance exercise improved slow twitch muscle function, reduced the presence of TAs in fast twitch muscle, and normalized the muscle proteome of GS mice consistent with protective adaptions in proteostasis, mitochondrial structure/function, and formation of supramolecular complexes.
