Coding sequences of sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase regulatory peptides and expression of calcium regulatory genes in recurrent exertional rhabdomyolysis.

Abstract: Sarcolipin (SLN), myoregulin (MRLN), and dwarf open reading frame (DWORF) are transmembrane regulators of the sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium transporting ATPase (SERCA) that we hypothesized played a role in recurrent exertional rhabdomyolysis (RER). Objective: Compare coding sequences of SLN, MRLN, DWORF across species and between RER and control horses. Compare expression of muscle Ca2+ regulatory genes between RER and control horses. Methods: Twenty Thoroughbreds (TB), 5 Standardbreds (STD), 6 Quarter Horses (QH) with RER and 39 breed-matched controls. Methods: Sanger sequencing of SERCA regulatory genes with comparison of amino acid (AA) sequences among control, RER horses, human, mouse, and rabbit reference genomes. In RER and control gluteal muscle, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction of SERCA regulatory peptides, the calcium release channel (RYR1), and its accessory proteins calsequestrin (CASQ1), and calstabin (FKBP1A). Results: The SLN gene was the highest expressed horse SERCA regulatory gene with a uniquely truncated AA sequence (29 versus 31) versus other species. Coding sequences of SLN, MRLN, and DWORF were identical in RER and control horses. A sex-by-phenotype effect occurred with lower CASQ1 expression in RER males versus control males (P < .001) and RER females (P = .05) and higher FKBP1A (P = .01) expression in RER males versus control males. Conclusions: The SLN gene encodes a uniquely truncated peptide in the horse versus other species. Variants in the coding sequence of SLN, MLRN, or DWORF were not associated with RER. Males with RER have differential gene expression that could reflect adaptations to stabilize RYR1.

Summary

This research summary has been generated with artificial intelligence and may contain errors and omissions. Refer to the original study to confirm details provided. Submit correction.

The study investigates the role of three transmembrane regulators, Sarcolipin (SLN), myoregulin (MRLN), and dwarf open reading frame (DWORF), in recurrent exertional rhabdomyolysis (RER). It concludes that while the coding sequences of these specific peptides are not related to RER, different gene expressions could contribute to RER developments in males.

Objective, Hypothesis, and Methodology

  • This research attempted to understand if the transmembrane regulators of sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium transporting ATPase (SERCA) – Sarcolipin (SLN), myoregulin (MRLN), and dwarf open reading frame (DWORF) – play a significant role in recurrent exertional rhabdomyolysis (RER).
  • The team speculated that these regulators may have an impact on the development of RER, a muscle disease affecting horses.
  • The proteins SLN, MRLN, and DWORF were compared across different species and between RER-affected and healthy horses.
  • The study included a diverse set of horses: Twenty Thoroughbreds, 5 Standardbreds, and 6 Quarter Horses with RER, alongside 39 breed-matched controls.
  • Using Sanger sequencing, the researchers examined the SERCA regulatory genes and compared the amino acid sequences among not only the test and control group of horses but also human, mouse, and rabbit reference genomes.

Results

  • The results showed that SLN was the highest expressed horse SERCA regulatory gene, and it encoded a uniquely truncated peptide sequence in horses compared to other species.
  • The coding sequences of SLN, MRLN, and DWORF were found to be identical in both RER-infected and control horses.
  • However, a sex-by-phenotype effect was observed. Males with RER showed lower expression of calsequestrin (CASQ1) gene as compared to male controls and RER affected females.
  • Females, on the other hand, showed higher expression of calstabin (FKBP1A).

Conclusion

  • On concluding the study, the researchers found that in horses, the SLN gene, a regulatory gene for muscle calcium regulation, encodes a uniquely truncated peptide compared to other species.
  • The coding sequences of SLN, MRLN, or DWORF displayed no linkage with RER, contradicting the initial hypothesis held by the team.
  • Males with RER, however, showed differing gene expressions which could potentially be adaptations to stabilize the RYR1, a calcium release channel.

The results thus suggest further research in understanding the genetic adaptations could provide additional insight on managing recurrent exertional rhabdomyolysis in horses.
