Kyphosis, hindlimb paresis and myofiber abnormalities in Ryr1tm1.1Dhm/Ryr1+ mice

muscle
• myofibers undergo a transition from small, compacted areas resembling minicores in younger mice to nemaline-rod like inclusions in adults
• type 2 (fast) myofibers exhibit gross structural defects in myofibrillar organization; myofibrils vary greatly in thickness and there are numerous sites of splitting and thinning
• type 1 fiber hypotrophy/atrophy is detected in muscle fibers as early as 6 weeks of age
• spatial disruption of sarcomeric and myofibrillar arrangement of myofibers due to minicore/core lesions
• type 2 myofibrils exhibit sarcomeric shortening, insertion of an additional sarcomere, and loss of sarcomeric register
• core lesions show Z-line streaming and focal loss of a Z-disk
• skeletal muscle exhibits increased endomysial spacing and mild fibrosis
• mutant soleus fibers exhibit minicores (discrete foci of oxidative enzyme depletion) at 12 months of age; by 20 months of age, larger areas of oxidative enzyme depletion, consistent with cores, are seen in type 1 fibers
• intermyofibrillar spaces are reduced and mitochondria and sarcoplasmic reticulum are absent from core lesion areas
• at 18 months of age, type I and type 2 fibers have reduced diameters, suggesting general fiber atrophy
• fast-twitch and slow-twitch muscles exhibit a 28-34% lower force during a single twitch and submaximal titanic contractions at 2 months of age
• about 37% decrease in peak twitch force and maximal twitch rate of contraction in muscles
• mobility impairment is first seen as weakness of hind limbs at around 6 months of age
• heterozygotes exhibit slowly progressive congenital myopathy, however show no evidence of muscle wasting or skeletal muscle degeneration

respiratory system
• mutants start to breathe regularly 15-20 min after birth compared to 5-7 min for wild-type mice

skeleton
• heterozygotes develop dorsal kyphosis in the cervicothoracic region with age, most likely due to overuse of the forelimbs for locomotion

growth/size/body
• average body weight is about 15% lower than in wild-type

behavior/neurological
• 80% of heterozygotes show varying degrees of motor dysfunction by 10 months of age
• by 12 months of age, 14% of mutants exhibit complete hind limb paralysis

homeostasis/metabolism
• mutants are flaccid and cyanotic during the first minutes after delivery

adipose tissue
• very low fat deposits

muscle
• isolated muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles have a significant reduction in Ca2+ loading at 37 degrees C and voltage dependent Ca2+ release is shifted toward more negative voltages in isolate myotubes
• the soleus muscle is more sensitive to caffeine-induced activation in an in vitro contracture test
• increasing the temperature to 41 degrees C for 15 min or less induces full body contractures with agonal breathing, rigid extremities, and arched backs
• isolated muscles display increased basal tension between 35-36 degrees C (43-44 degrees C for the diaphragm)

homeostasis/metabolism
• during heat induced contractures serum potassium and creatine kinase levels increase by 80% and 163% respectively compared to pre-heat challenge levels suggesting rhabdomyolysis has occurred, no such increase is seen in wild-type mice after heating
• after heat challenge (increased external temperature to 41 degrees C for less than 15 min) body temperature increases to 43.4 +/- 0.8 degrees C compared to 41.1 +/- 0.3 degrees C in wild-type mice

behavior/neurological
• exposure to about 5.5 x 10-5 ml/cm3 isoflurane induces a rapid onset of malignant hyperthermic response with full body contractures and increased core temperatures
• increasing the room temperature from less than 25 degrees C to 30 degrees C increases the penetrance of the malignant hyperthermic response

homeostasis/metabolism
• mice anesthetized using intravenous anesthetics and exposed to environmental heat stress (35 degrees Celsius) exhibit heat stroke and die
• pretreatment of mice exposed to environmental heat stress with Cpd1 slows the rate of temperature rise but maximum rectal temperature does not change and none of the mice survive 120 min of heat stress, although time to death is prolonged
• mice exposed to environmental heat stress and then treated with Cpd1 when rectal temperature reached 39 degrees Celsius rescues most mice from heat stroke at 10 mg/kg Cpd1 and partially rescues at 3 mg/kg; treatment with Cpd1 when temperature reached 38 degrees Celsius rescues most mice from heat stroke
• isolated single flexor digitorum brevis muscle cells treated with halothane up to 0.1% or with isoflurane show an increase in intracellular calcium concentration that is not seen in wild-type cells
• isolated soleus muscles exhibit dose-dependent contracture during exposure to caffeine compared to wild-type muscles which show minimal contracture
• nearly 80% of mice anesthetized by isoflurane rapidly increase their rectal temperature to over 40 degrees Celsius, exhibit muscle rigidity, and die within 90 minutes from start of exposure compared to wild-type mice which show no elevation in rectal temperature
• in the remaining 20% of mice, exposure to isoflurane causes an increase in rectal temperature but does not exceed 39 degrees Celsius
• more males (90%) succumb to isoflurane than females (65%)
• males pretreated with 10 mg/kg, but not 3 mg/kg, of Cpd1 sodium salt (a derivative of oxolinic acid that inhibits the RyR1 channel) before isoflurane challenge show prevention of rise in rectal temperature and all mice survive
• mice anesthetized with isoflurane and administered Cpd1 when rectal temperature reached 39 degrees Celsius show a decrease in body temperature and 60% of mice treated with 3mg/kg and 100% of mice treated with 10mg/kg of Cpd1 survive

muscle
• isolated single flexor digitorum brevis muscle cells treated with halothane up to 0.1% or with isoflurane show an increase in intracellular calcium concentration that is not seen in wild-type cells
• pretreatment of flexor digitorum brevis muscle cells with a Cpd1 sodium salt (a derivative of oxolinic acid that inhibits the RyR1 channel) reduces resting intracellular calcium concentration and completely abolishes halothane-induced or isoflurane-induced increases in intracellular calcium
• isolated soleus muscles exhibit dose-dependent contracture during exposure to caffeine compared to wild-type muscles which show minimal contracture
• pretreatment with Cpd1 decreases caffeine-induced contracture tension of soleus muscle basal tension of soleus muscle at 42 degrees Celsius is increased compared to in wild-type muscle and pre-treatment with Cpd1 reduces the heat-induced contracture
