    Description: Many neuromuscular conditions are characterized by an exaggerated exercise-induced fatigue response that is disproportionate to activity level. This fatigue is not necessarily correlated with greater central or peripheral fatigue in patients, and some patients experience severe fatigue without any demonstrable somatic disease. Except in myopathies that are due to specific metabolic defects, the mechanism underlying this type of fatigue remains unknown. With no treatment available, this form of inactivity is a major determinant of disability. Here we show, using mouse models, that this exaggerated fatigue response is distinct from a loss in specific force production by muscle, and that sarcolemma-localized signalling by neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) in skeletal muscle is required to maintain activity after mild exercise. We show that nNOS-null mice do not have muscle pathology and have no loss of muscle-specific force after exercise but do display this exaggerated fatigue response to mild exercise. In mouse models of nNOS mislocalization from the sarcolemma, prolonged inactivity was only relieved by pharmacologically enhancing the cGMP signal that results from muscle nNOS activation during the nitric oxide signalling response to mild exercise. Our findings suggest that the mechanism underlying the exaggerated fatigue response to mild exercise is a lack of contraction-induced signalling from sarcolemma-localized nNOS, which decreases cGMP-mediated vasomodulation in the vessels that supply active muscle after mild exercise. Sarcolemmal nNOS staining was decreased in patient biopsies from a large number of distinct myopathies, suggesting a common mechanism of fatigue. Our results suggest that patients with an exaggerated fatigue response to mild exercise would show clinical improvement in response to treatment strategies aimed at improving exercise-induced signalling.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2588643/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2588643/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kobayashi, Yvonne M -- Rader, Erik P -- Crawford, Robert W -- Iyengar, Nikhil K -- Thedens, Daniel R -- Faulkner, John A -- Parikh, Swapnesh V -- Weiss, Robert M -- Chamberlain, Jeffrey S -- Moore, Steven A -- Campbell, Kevin P -- F32 AR048742-01/AR/NIAMS NIH HHS/ -- F32 AR048742-02/AR/NIAMS NIH HHS/ -- K26 RR017369/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- K26 RR017369-01A1/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- K26 RR017369-02/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- K26 RR017369-03/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- K26 RR017369-04/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- K26 RR017369-05/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- R01 AG033610/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- R01 AR051199/AR/NIAMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 AR051199-01/AR/NIAMS NIH HHS/ -- T32 HL007121/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- T32 HL007121-26/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- T32 HL007121-27/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- U54 NS053672/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- U54 NS053672-01/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- U54 NS053672-02/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- U54 NS053672-02S1/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- U54 NS053672-03/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- U54 NS053672-04/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- England -- Nature. 2008 Nov 27;456(7221):511-5. doi: 10.1038/nature07414.

    Description: Alpha-dystroglycan (alpha-DG) is a cell-surface glycoprotein that acts as a receptor for both extracellular matrix proteins containing laminin-G domains and certain arenaviruses. Receptor binding is thought to be mediated by a posttranslational modification, and defective binding with laminin underlies a subclass of congenital muscular dystrophy. Using mass spectrometry- and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based structural analyses, we identified a phosphorylated O-mannosyl glycan on the mucin-like domain of recombinant alpha-DG, which was required for laminin binding. We demonstrated that patients with muscle-eye-brain disease and Fukuyama congenital muscular dystrophy, as well as mice with myodystrophy, commonly have defects in a postphosphoryl modification of this phosphorylated O-linked mannose, and that this modification is mediated by the like-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (LARGE) protein. These findings expand our understanding of the mechanisms that underlie congenital muscular dystrophy.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2978000/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2978000/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Yoshida-Moriguchi, Takako -- Yu, Liping -- Stalnaker, Stephanie H -- Davis, Sarah -- Kunz, Stefan -- Madson, Michael -- Oldstone, Michael B A -- Schachter, Harry -- Wells, Lance -- Campbell, Kevin P -- 1U54NS053672/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- AI55540/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- P30 DK 54759/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- P30 DK054759/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- P41 RR018502/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI009484/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI009484-40/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI009484-41/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI045927/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI045927-08/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI045927-09/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI045927-10/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2010 Jan 1;327(5961):88-92. doi: 10.1126/science.1180512.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Howard Hughes Medical Institute, University of Iowa Roy J. and Lucille A.

    Description: Calcium ion (Ca2+) influx through voltage-gated Ca2+ channels is important for the regulation of vascular tone. Activation of L-type Ca2+ channels initiates muscle contraction; however, the role of T-type Ca2+ channels (T-channels) is not clear. We show that mice deficient in the alpha1H T-type Ca2+ channel (alpha(1)3.2-null) have constitutively constricted coronary arterioles and focal myocardial fibrosis. Coronary arteries isolated from alpha(1)3.2-null arteries showed normal contractile responses, but reduced relaxation in response to acetylcholine and nitroprusside. Furthermore, acute blockade of T-channels with Ni2+ prevented relaxation of wild-type coronary arteries. Thus, Ca2+ influx through alpha1H T-type Ca2+ channels is essential for normal relaxation of coronary arteries.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Chen, Chien-Chang -- Lamping, Kathryn G -- Nuno, Daniel W -- Barresi, Rita -- Prouty, Sally J -- Lavoie, Julie L -- Cribbs, Leanne L -- England, Sarah K -- Sigmund, Curt D -- Weiss, Robert M -- Williamson, Roger A -- Hill, Joseph A -- Campbell, Kevin P -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Nov 21;302(5649):1416-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Howard Hughes Medical Institute, University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA 52242, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14631046" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The dense glycan coat that surrounds every cell is essential for cellular development and physiological function, and it is becoming appreciated that its composition is highly dynamic. Post-translational addition of the polysaccharide repeating unit [-3-xylose-alpha1,3-glucuronic acid-beta1-]n by like-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (LARGE) is required for the glycoprotein dystroglycan to function as a receptor for proteins in the extracellular matrix. Reductions in the amount of [-3-xylose-alpha1,3-glucuronic acid-beta1-]n (hereafter referred to as LARGE-glycan) on dystroglycan result in heterogeneous forms of muscular dystrophy. However, neither patient nor mouse studies has revealed a clear correlation between glycosylation status and phenotype. This disparity can be attributed to our lack of knowledge of the cellular function of the LARGE-glycan repeat. Here we show that coordinated upregulation of Large and dystroglycan in differentiating mouse muscle facilitates rapid extension of LARGE-glycan repeat chains. Using synthesized LARGE-glycan repeats we show a direct correlation between LARGE-glycan extension and its binding capacity for extracellular matrix ligands. Blocking Large upregulation during muscle regeneration results in the synthesis of dystroglycan with minimal LARGE-glycan repeats in association with a less compact basement membrane, immature neuromuscular junctions and dysfunctional muscle predisposed to dystrophy. This was consistent with the finding that patients with increased clinical severity of disease have fewer LARGE-glycan repeats. Our results reveal that the LARGE-glycan of dystroglycan serves as a tunable extracellular matrix protein scaffold, the extension of which is required for normal skeletal muscle function.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3891507/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3891507/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Goddeeris, Matthew M -- Wu, Biming -- Venzke, David -- Yoshida-Moriguchi, Takako -- Saito, Fumiaki -- Matsumura, Kiichiro -- Moore, Steven A -- Campbell, Kevin P -- 1RC2NS069521-01/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- 1U54NS053672/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- F32 AR057289-01/AR/NIAMS NIH HHS/ -- T32-DK07690-16/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- U54 NS053672/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- England -- Nature. 2013 Nov 7;503(7474):136-40. doi: 10.1038/nature12605.

    Description: The somatic mutations present in the genome of a cell accumulate over the lifetime of a multicellular organism. These mutations can provide insights into the developmental lineage tree, the number of divisions that each cell has undergone and the mutational processes that have been operative. Here we describe whole genomes of clonal lines derived from multiple tissues of healthy mice. Using somatic base substitutions, we reconstructed the early cell divisions of each animal, demonstrating the contributions of embryonic cells to adult tissues. Differences were observed between tissues in the numbers and types of mutations accumulated by each cell, which likely reflect differences in the number of cell divisions they have undergone and varying contributions of different mutational processes. If somatic mutation rates are similar to those in mice, the results indicate that precise insights into development and mutagenesis of normal human cells will be possible.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4227286/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4227286/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Behjati, Sam -- Huch, Meritxell -- van Boxtel, Ruben -- Karthaus, Wouter -- Wedge, David C -- Tamuri, Asif U -- Martincorena, Inigo -- Petljak, Mia -- Alexandrov, Ludmil B -- Gundem, Gunes -- Tarpey, Patrick S -- Roerink, Sophie -- Blokker, Joyce -- Maddison, Mark -- Mudie, Laura -- Robinson, Ben -- Nik-Zainal, Serena -- Campbell, Peter -- Goldman, Nick -- van de Wetering, Marc -- Cuppen, Edwin -- Clevers, Hans -- Stratton, Michael R -- 077012/Z/05/Z/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 088340/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 092096/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 098051/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 104151/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- WT100183MA/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- England -- Nature. 2014 Sep 18;513(7518):422-5. doi: 10.1038/nature13448.
