Mutations in the skeletal muscle RyR1 isoform of the ryanodine receptor (RyR) Ca2+-release channel confer susceptibility to malignant hyperthermia, which may be triggered by inhalational anesthetics such as halothane. Using immunoblotting, we show here that the ryanodine receptor, calmodulin, junctin, calsequestrin, sarcalumenin, calreticulin, annexin-VI, sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase, and the dihydropyridine receptor exhibit no major changes in their expression level between normal human skeletal muscle and biopsies from individuals susceptible to malignant hyperthermia. In contrast, protein gel-shift studies with halothane-treated sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles from normal and susceptible specimens showed a clear difference. Although the alpha2-dihydropyridine receptor and calsequestrin were not affected, clustering of the Ca2+-ATPase was induced at comparable halothane concentrations. In the concentration range of 0.014-0.35 mM halothane, anesthetic-induced oligomerization of the RyR1 complex was observed at a lower threshold concentration in the sarcoplasmic reticulum from patients with malignant hyperthermia. Thus the previously described decreased Ca2+-loading ability of the sarcoplasmic reticulum from susceptible muscle fibers is probably not due to a modified expression of Ca2+-handling elements, but more likely a feature of altered quaternary receptor structure or modified functional dynamics within the Ca2+-regulatory apparatus. Possibly increased RyR1 complex formation, in conjunction with decreased Ca2+ uptake, is of central importance to the development of a metabolic crisis in malignant hyperthermia.

Tubular aggregates are observed in various muscle disorders and appear as densely packed tubules believed to arise from sarcoplasmic reticulum of striated muscle. They are found both in human skeletal muscle, especially from patients suffering from 'tubular aggregate myopathy' and in fast twitch skeletal muscle of the male inbred mouse during aging. In this work, we studied tubular aggregates present in inbred male mouse skeletal muscle using electron microscopy as well as histochemistry and Western blotting with the main markers of the sarcoplasmic reticulum. We show that mouse tubular aggregates include the proteins SERCA 1, sarcalumenin (longitudinal sarcoplasmic reticulum), calsequestrin (terminal cisternae) and RyR1 (junctional sarcoplasmic reticulum). We demonstrate also that 95 and 51 kDa triadin isoforms are present in mouse skeletal muscle and are both components of tubular aggregates. These results support the hypothesis that tubular aggregates form a tubular arrangement of a complete sarcoplasmic reticulum containing the junctional, cisternae and longitudinal components of sarcoplasmic reticulum implicated in calcium homeostasis. During mouse skeletal muscle aging, however, densitometry of Western blots reveals a persistent decrease in the expression of the calcium binding protein calreticulin as well as a continuous increase in calsequestrin-like protein expression which both appear unrelated to the tubular aggregate formation.

Depletion of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) or treatment with mitochondrial poison CCCP initiates mitochondrial stress signaling, which operates through altered Ca2+ homeostasis. In C2C12 rhabdomyoblasts and A549 human lung carcinoma cells mitochondrial stress signaling activates calcineurin and a number of Ca2+ responsive factors including ATF, NFAT, CEBP/delta and CREB. Additionally, PKC and MAP kinase are also activated. A number of nuclear gene targets including those involved in Ca2+ storage/release (RyR1, calreticulin, calsequestrin), glucose metabolism (hexokinase, pyruvate kinase, Glut4), oncogenesis (TGFbeta1, cathepsin L, IGFR1, melanoma antigen) and apoptosis (Bcl-2, Bid, Bad, p53) are upregulated. Mitochondrial stress in both C2C12 myoblasts and A549 cells induced morphological changes and invasive phenotypes. These cells also showed markedly increased resistance to etoposide-induced apoptosis that is a hallmark of highly invasive tumors. Our results describe a new mechanism of altered nuclear gene expression and phenotypic changes triggered by mitochondrial dysfunction and mtDNA damage.

The expression of TRPC3 (canonical-type transient receptor potential cation channel type 3) is tightly regulated during skeletal muscle cell differentiation, and a functional interaction between TRPC3 and RyR1 [(ryanodine receptor type 1), an SR (sarcoplasmic reticulum) Ca2+-release channel] regulates the gain of SR Ca2+ release during EC (excitation-contraction) coupling. However, it has not been possible to demonstrate direct protein-protein interactions between TRPC3 and RyR1. To identify possible candidate(s) for a linker protein(s) between TRPC3 and RyR1 in skeletal muscle, in the present study we performed MALDI-TOF (matrix-assisted laser-desorption ionization-time-of-flight) MS analysis of a cross-linked triadic protein complex from rabbit skeletal triad vesicles and co-immunoprecipitation assays using primary mouse skeletal myotubes. From these studies, we found that six triadic proteins, that are known to regulate RyR1 function and/or EC coupling [TRPC1, JP2 (junctophilin 2), homer, mitsugumin 29, calreticulin and calmodulin], interacted directly with TRPC3 in a Ca2+-independent manner. However we again found no direct interaction between TRPC3 and RyR1. TRPC1 was identified as a potential physical link between TRPC3 and RyR1, as it interacted with both TRPC3 and RyR1, and JPs showed subtype-specific interactions with both RyR1 and TRPC3 (JP1-RyR1 and JP2-TRPC3). These results support the hypothesis that TRPC3 and RyR1 are functionally engaged via linker proteins in skeletal muscle.
