X-linked Myopathy with Excessive Autophagy (XMEA) is a childhood onset disease characterized by progressive vacuolation and atrophy of skeletal muscle. We show that XMEA is caused by hypomorphic alleles of the VMA21 gene, that VMA21 is the diverged human ortholog of the yeast Vma21p protein, and that like Vma21p, VMA21 is an essential assembly chaperone of the vacuolar ATPase (V-ATPase), the principal mammalian proton pump complex. Decreased VMA21 raises lysosomal pH which reduces lysosomal degradative ability and blocks autophagy. This reduces cellular free amino acids which leads to downregulation of the mTORC1 pathway, and consequent increased macroautophagy resulting in proliferation of large and ineffective autolysosomes that engulf sections of cytoplasm, merge, and vacuolate the cell. Our results uncover a novel mechanism of disease, namely macroautophagic overcompensation leading to cell vacuolation and tissue atrophy. 相似文献

Two brothers had nonobstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, mental retardation, and vacuolar myopathy, and their mother died of cardiopathy at age 31. Seven families with this syndrome have been described; heredity appears to be X-linked dominant or autosomal dominant, with different expressivity in males and females. The biochemical cause of this lysosomal storage disease is unknown. 相似文献

In a new family with X-linked congenital autophagic vacuolar myopathy (AVM), seven affected boys presented with congenital hypotonia, dyspnea, and dysphagia with delayed motor milestones. Muscle pathology revealed autophagic vacuoles with sarcolemmal features, multilayered basal lamina with marked sarcolemmal deposition of C5-9 membrane attack complex and calcium, histologically indistinguishable from childhood-onset X-linked myopathy with excessive autophagy (XMEA). Haplotype analysis suggests that this new AVM and XMEA may be allelic despite different clinical presentations. 相似文献

The authors report a 41-year-old man with a novel form of adult-onset autophagic vacuolar myopathy (AVM) with multiple organ involvement including eyes, heart, liver, lung, kidney, and skeletal muscle. The vacuolar membranes had sarcolemmal features similar to vacuoles in Danon disease, X-linked myopathy with excessive autophagy, and infantile AVM. Lysosome associated membrane protein-2, absent in Danon disease, was present. Defined by distinct clinical features, this disease constitutes the fourth entity in the group of autophagic vacuolar myopathy in which the vacuolar membranes have features of sarcolemma. 相似文献

Autophagic vacuoles are a frequent feature in numerous neuromuscular disorders. However, they are also pathognomonic morphologic hallmarks in a slowly emerging new group of conditions called autophagic vacuolar myopathies (AVMs), of which Danon disease, originally called "lysosomal glycogen storage disease with normal acid maltase," is the best known entity. Other such conditions, often although not always described from Japan, are X-linked myopathy with excessive authophagy, infantile autophagic vacuolar myopathy, adult-onset autophagic vacuolar myopathy with multiorgan involvement, and X-linked congenital autophagic vacuolar myopathy. Although only 1 protein, the transmembranous lysosomal protein LAMP-2, has been found mutated in Danon disease, the remaining AVMs are genetically still incompletely identified. Several of these conditions not only share autophagic vacuoles, but such autophagic vacuoles also have morphologic properties of the sarcolemma, thus rendering them autophagic vacuoles with sarcolemmal features, an almost pathognomonic phenomenon of this group of disorders. 相似文献

Summary An ultrastructural study of biopsied muscles was performed in seven patients with rimmed vacuolar distal myopathy, which was characterized by prominent rimmed vacuoles in the muscle fibers. The earliest changes noted were focal proliferation of the Golgi's apparatus and mitochondrial degeneration with myofibrillar loss. A proliferation of the T-system appeared later. Secondary lysosomes (autophagosomes) could be noted much later and gradually increased in number. Autophagosomes tended to coalesce and became larger autophagic vacuoles, which were surrounded in part by relatively preserved myofibrils and partly by a single membrane. Gently curved laminated structures (tubulomembranous structures) were seen in the degenerating muscle fibers and also in relatively intact fibers, satellite cells, and interstitial cells in all cases. They were closely associated with lipofuscin-like material. These findings suggest that an abnormality of the lysosomal system might be essential in the pathogenesis of rimmed vacuolar distal myopathy. 相似文献

A 21-year-old man with childhood-onset mental retardation, non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and vacuolar myopathy is presented. A histopathological study of biopsied skeletal muscle showed lysosomal glycogen storage mimicking acid maltase deficiency, but biochemical analysis showed normal acid alpha-glucosidase activity. Glycogenosomes were also recognized in endothelial cells on electronmicroscopic examination of biopsied skeletal muscle. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in the head revealed the involvement of the central nervous system. This is a new type of lysosomal glycogen storage disease with multisystemic involvement. The specific biochemical defect in this disorder remains to be elucidated. 相似文献

Nephropathic cystinosis is a lysosomal storage disorder leading to renal failure by age 10 years. Prolonged patient survival following renal transplantation has allowed the development of previously unknown long-term complications. Muscle involvement has been reported in a single posttransplant cystinosis patient, but the range of clinical, electrophysiologic, and histologic features has not been fully described. Thirteen of 54 post–renal-transplant patients that we examined developed weakness and wasting in the small hand muscles, with or without facial weakness and dysphagia. Tendon reflexes were preserved and sensory examinations were normal. Electrophysiologic studies in 11 affected patients showed normal nerve conduction velocities and preserved sensory action potentials. The voluntary motor units in the affected distal muscles had reduced amplitude and brief duration, confirmed with quantitative electromyography in 4 patients. Biopsy of the severely affected abductor digiti minimi or extensor carpi radialis brevis muscles in 2 patients revealed marked fiber size variability, prominent acid phosphatase–positive vacuoles, and absence of fiber type grouping or inflammatory cells. Crystals of cystine were detected in perimysial cells but not within the muscle cell vacuoles. The muscle cystine content of clinically affected muscles was markedly elevated. We conclude that a distal vacuolar myopathy is a common late complication of untreated nephropathic cystinosis. Although the cause is unclear, the general lysosomal defect in this disease may also affect the lysosomes within muscle fibers. 相似文献

Hereditary autophagic vacuolar myopathy (AVM) may occur in several diseases including the rimmed vacuolar myopathies, acid maltase deficiency, Danon disease, infantile autophagic vacuolar myopathy and X-linked myopathy with excessive autophagy (XMEA). In the latter three conditions the vacuoles are lined by membranes with sarcolemmal features. We present two unusual cases of autophagic vacuolar myopathy in twin girls born at term with no family history of neurological disease. After initial normal developmental milestones they developed progressive leg weakness and wasting with contractures from the age of 12 years. Investigations showed raised CK, normal female karyotype, normal acid maltase activity, normal nerve conduction and myopathic EMG features. Frozen sections of skeletal muscle were stained using routine tinctorial and histochemical methods. Immunohistochemical staining for spectrin, merosin, dystrophin, complement membrane attack complex and sarcoglycans was performed and ultrastructural examination undertaken. Direct sequence analysis of the lamp-2 gene using genomic DNA extracted from lymphocytes was performed. Histological analysis of the muscle biopsies demonstrated myofibres with vacuoles lacking glycogen and lipid many of which were delineated using immunohistochemistry for merosin, dystrophin and sarcoglycans. Ultrastructural examination showed duplication of the myofibre basal lamina with associated autophagic material. Vacuoles within myofibres were either membrane bound containing autophagic material or lined by plasma membrane and basal lamina. Intermyofibrillar glycogen was increased. Sequence analysis of the coding region and intron/exon boundaries of the lamp-2 gene was normal. This is the first report of female cases of AVM with sarcolemmal features. We suggest that these patients may represent manifesting carriers of XMEA, or alternatively, a new form of disease with a similar phenotype having autosomal recessive inheritance. 相似文献

Introduction: DNAJB6 mutations cause an autosomal dominant myopathy that can manifest as limb‐girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD1D/1E) or distal‐predominant myopathy. In the majority of patients this myopathy manifests in adulthood and shows vacuolar changes on muscle biopsy. Methods: Clinical, electrophysiological, pathological, and molecular findings are reported. Results: We report a 56‐year‐old woman, who, like 3 other family members, became symptomatic in childhood with slowly progressive limb‐girdle muscle weakness, normal serum creatine kinase (CK) values, and myopathic electromyographic findings. Muscle biopsy showed vacuolar changes and congophilic inclusions, and molecular analysis revealed a pathogenic mutation in the DNAJB6 gene. Differences and similarities with previously described cases are assessed. Conclusions: Childhood‐onset of DNAJB6 myopathy is more frequent than previously believed; congophilic inclusions may be present in the muscle of these patients. Muscle Nerve 49:607–610, 2014 相似文献

Reversible inflammatory and vacuolar myopathy with vitamin E deficiency in celiac disease 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
We report a patient with late-onset celiac disease and neurological manifestations including myopathy, polyneuropathy, and ataxia. Laboratory investigations showed anti-gliadin antibodies and severe vitamin E deficiency. Muscle biopsy revealed inflammatory infiltrates and rimmed vacuoles, similar to those found in inclusion-body myositis. A gluten-free diet and vitamin E supplementation reversed both the clinical neurological manifestations and the abnormalities in the muscle biopsy. Anti-gliadin antibodies were no longer present. This case illustrates the spectrum of neurological complications of celiac disease and documents the occurrence of reversible pathology resembling inclusion-body myopathy in the muscle. 相似文献

Oculopharyngodistal myopathy is genetically heterogeneous and most cases are distinct from oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

The question whether oculopharyngodistal myopathy (MIM 164310) is a distinct disease entity or a variant of oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (MIM 164300) persists. To answer this question, we examined five patients with the clinical characteristics of oculopharyngodistal myopathy for GCG expansion in poly(A)-binding protein nuclear 1 gene (previously called poly(A)-binding protein 2), the causative gene defect for oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy. Only one of our five patients had the significant GCG expansion. Thus, oculopharyngodistal myopathy is a genetically heterogeneous disorder, which includes patients with oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy but, for the most part, is different genetically from oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy. 相似文献

Myoglobinuria occurs in a variety of systemic and neurological disorders and can pose diagnostic challenges. We report on a 23-year-old man in whom recurrent myoglobinuria was observed due to necrotizing vacuolar myopathy confirmed on muscle biopsy. Histopathologically the intramuscular vacuoles lacked the typical findings reported in vacuolar myopathy due to disorders of glycogen and lipid metabolism. We discuss the management approach to recurrent myoglobinuria. Recurrent myoglobinuria in the absence of toxin or drug exposure and seizure is more often due to primary muscle disease. Recognizing the presence of myoglobinuria and the proximate cause is essential in preventing the development of renal dysfunction and the future recurrence of symptoms. 相似文献

We describe a 26-year-old man with a predominantly distal myopathy and complete heart block. A muscle biopsy specimen demonstrated numerous vacuoles, which, by electron microscopy, contained membranous whorls. Filamentous inclusions characteristic of inclusion body myositis were not seen. It is important to be aware that life-threatening cardiac disease may occur in this setting. 相似文献

Introduction – Distal myopathies are currently regarded as a non-homogeneous group of disorders including different autosomal dominant, recessive and sporadic forms. Material and methods - The cases of a mother and her son and daughter are described and compared to previously reported cases from 4 families. Despite minor differences, the clinical picture is remarkably homogeneous, both within the same family and among different families. Conclusion - A distinct clinical form can be identified including: a) autosomal dominant inheritance; b) onset in infancy or childhood with peroneal muscles weakness; c) not disabling evolution in spite of possible late involvement of muscles others than tibio-peroneal; d) usually normal serum CK and other muscle enzymes; e) EMG evidence of primary myogenic damage; f) morphological findings of non-specific myopathy. Because of the benign evolution and the absence of true dystrophic changes in most biopsies we suggest the term infantile autosomal dominant distal myopathy should be preferred to infantile autosomal dominant distal muscular dystrophy. 相似文献

A 23-year-old ex-bicycle racer with vague gastrointestinal symptoms had an acute weight loss of 13.6 kg (30 lb). During the period of maximal weight loss, he experienced muscle weakness, dysphagia, bradycardia, and T wave changes on the electrocardiogram. His skeletal muscle biopsy showed a severe vacuolar myopathy devastating the atrophic type II fibers. Without treatment, he recovered completely and has remained well. This may be an exaggerated or acute form of type II atrophy not previously reported, or it may represent an acute muscular degeneration. 相似文献

Colchicine, a microtubule polymerization inhibitor, can very occasionally induce myopathy. We report two cases of colchicine myopathy. Both patients presented with myalgia and proximal muscle weakness. The first patient, an 80-year-old woman, had chronic renal failure related to renal amyloidosis. She had been treated by colchicine for 4 months. The second, a 75-year-old man with normal renal function, suffering from gout, was treated by colchicine for 3 weeks. Muscle biopsies displayed the same alterations, but the degree of severity was different. Conventional histology revealed vacuolar changes characterized by acid phosphatase-positive vacuoles and myofibrillar disarray foci. The lesions were selective for type I fibers. Ultrastructural study demonstrated autophagic vacuoles. Most of the vacuoles expressed dystrophin but not merosin. Several fibers reacted with anti-MHC class I antibody and granular deposits of membrane attack complex were observed on the surface of numerous myofibers. Anti-alphaB-crystallin antibody strongly reacted with vacuolar content. Physiopathologically, microtubules are primordial for vesicle movements and colchicine induces autophagic vacuole accumulation by preventing their fusion with lysosomes. The selective type I involvement is probably due to the higher tubulin amount in type I fibers. AlphaB-crystallin overexpression is related to its microtubule protection properties. Moreover, we suggest that vacuoles randomly floating in sarcoplasm might occasionally meet the plasma membrane and open in the extracellular space, leading to complement activation. Accurate diagnosis of colchicine myopathy is relevant because the treatment is based on colchicine interruption. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Danon disease is due to primary deficiency of lysosome-associated membrane protein-2. OBJECTIVE: To define the clinicopathologic features of Danon disease. METHODS: The features of 20 affected men and 18 affected women in 13 families with genetically confirmed Danon disease were reviewed. RESULTS: All patients had cardiomyopathy, 18 of 20 male patients (90%) and 6 of 18 female patients (33%) had skeletal myopathy, and 14 of 20 male patients (70%) and one of 18 female patients (6%) had mental retardation. Men were affected before age 20 years whereas most affected women developed cardiomyopathy in adulthood. Muscle histology revealed basophilic vacuoles that contain acid phosphatase-positive material within membranes that lack lysosome-associated membrane protein-2. Heart transplantation is the most effective treatment for the otherwise lethal cardiomyopathy. CONCLUSIONS: Danon disease is an X-linked dominant multisystem disorder affecting predominantly cardiac and skeletal muscles. 相似文献

A male case of centronuclear myopathy is reported, with severe weakness at birth and death at 7 weeks. In all the muscles studied the fibres, despite their immature appearances, showed normal histochemical differentiation into type I and type II moieties. In contrast to the extrafusal fibres, the intrafusal fibres seemed to be normal in their development. Although the small centrally-nucleated muscle fibres were equipped with motor end-plates, the EMG revealed profuse fibrillation activity. The conflicting findings are postulated to arise from the presence of inexcitable neuromuscular junctions which nevertheless permitted a neurotrophic influence to be exerted on the muscle fibres. 相似文献
