Abstract
Maintenance of the highly organized striated muscle tissue requires a cell-wide dynamic network through protein-protein interactions providing an effective mechanochemical integrator of morphology and function. Through a continuous and complex trans-cytoplasmic network, desmin intermediate filaments ensure this essential role in heart and in skeletal muscle. Besides their role in the maintenance of cell shape and architecture (permitting contractile activity efficiency and conferring resistance towards mechanical stress), desmin intermediate filaments are also key actors of cell and tissue homeostasis. Desmin participates to several cellular processes such as differentiation, apoptosis, intracellular signalisation, mechanotransduction, vesicle trafficking, organelle biogenesis and/or positioning, calcium homeostasis, protein homeostasis, cell adhesion, metabolism and gene expression. Desmin intermediate filaments assembly requires αB-crystallin, a small heat shock protein. Over its chaperone activity, αB-crystallin is involved in several cellular functions such as cell integrity, cytoskeleton stabilization, apoptosis, autophagy, differentiation, mitochondria function or aggresome formation. Importantly, both proteins are known to be strongly associated to the aetiology of several cardiac and skeletal muscles pathologies related to desmin filaments disorganization and a strong disturbance of desmin interactome. Note that these key proteins of cytoskeleton architecture are extensively modified by post-translational modifications that could affect their functional properties. Therefore, we reviewed in the herein paper the impact of post-translational modifications on the modulation of cellular functions of desmin and its molecular chaperone, the αB-crystallin.

Abstract
The congenital myopathies are relatively newly discovered compared with other categories of muscle diseases. Current research continues to clarify and classify the congenital myopathies. These pose a diagnostic problem and cannot be diagnosed by routine hematoxylin and eosin stain. A lot of special techniques are required to diagnose them correctly and it's various subtypes. The disease specific structural changes seen in the muscle are detected by enzyme histochemistry, immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy. Through this review we provide an up-to-date analysis of congenital myopathies including clinical and pathologic aspects.

Abstract
Nemaline myopathy is a structural congenital myopathy which may show both autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive inheritance patterns. Mutations in three different genes have been identified as the cause of nemaline myopathy: the gene for slow alpha-tropomyosin 3 (TPM3) at 1q22-23, the nebulin gene (NEB) at 2q21.1-q22, and the actin gene (ACTA1) at 1q42. The typical autosomal recessive form appears to be the most common one and is caused by mutations in the nebulin gene. We have studied the pattern of nebulin labeling, in patients with the typical congenital form (ten patients), the severe congenital form (two patients) or the mild, childhood-onset form (one patient), using antibodies against three different domains of nebulin. A qualitative and quantitative nebulin analysis in muscle tissue showed the presence of nebulin in myofibers from all patients. Some differences relating to the rod structure were observed. The majority of the largest subsarcolemmal rods were not labeled with the N2 nebulin antibody (I-band epitope) and showed an indistinct pattern with the two antibodies directed to the Z-band portion of nebulin (epitopes M176-181 and serine-rich domain). Diffuse rods were not revealed using the three antibodies. A discordant pattern of nebulin N2 epitope labeling was found in two affected sisters with a mutation in the nebulin gene, suggesting that modifications in nebulin distribution inside the rods might occur with the progression of the disease. Western blot analysis showed no direct correlation with immunofluorescence data. In nine patients, the band had a molecular weight comparable to the normal control, while in one patient, it was detected with a higher molecular weight. Our results suggest that presence/absence of specific nebulin Z-band epitopes in rod structures is variable and could depend on the degree of rod organization.

Abstract
Expression patterns of the intermediate filament proteins (IFPs) desmin and vimentin, in biopsy material taken from a 1 day old boy with fatal neonatal X-linked myotubular myopathy (XLMTM) were compared with the expression of these proteins in cultured myotubes, from the same patient. Immunohistochemical studies revealed the persistence of high levels of desmin in virtually all, and vimentin in most, of the myofibres within the patient's biopsy. Analysis of intermediate filament expression in differentiating, cultured muscle cells did not reveal overt differences between XLMTM cultures and cultures of control muscle. Titin distribution patterns indicated a normal process of myofibrillogenesis in XLMTM myotubes. We conclude that the failure to properly regulate IFP-expression is not intrinsic to XLMTM muscle fibres. The possibility that this failure is due to a defective external, possibly neural factor, is discussed.

Abstract
We have studied the expression and distribution patterns of the intermediate filament proteins desmin and vimentin, the sarcomere components titin, nebulin and myosin, the basement membrane constituents collagen type IV and laminin, and the reticular layer component collagen type VI in skeletal muscle of patients with "classic" congenital myopathies (CM), using indirect immunofluorescence assays. In all biopsy specimens obtained from patients with central core disease (CCD), nemaline myopathy (NM), X-linked myotubular myopathy (XLMTM) and centronuclear myopathy (CNM), disease-specific desmin disturbances were observed. Vimentin was present in immature fibres in severe neonatal NM, and as sarcoplasmic aggregates in one case of CNM, while the amounts of vimentin and embryonic myosin, observed in XLMTM, decreased with age of the patients. Abnormal expression of myosin isoforms was found in several CM biopsies, although the organization of myosin and other sarcomere components was rarely disturbed. Basement membrane and reticular layer proteins were often prominently increased in severe cases of CM. We conclude that (i) desmin is a marker for individual types of CM and might be used for diagnostic purposes; (ii) the expression patterns of the differentiation markers desmin, vimentin and embryonic myosin in XLMTM, point either to a postnatal muscle fibre maturation or to a variable time-point of maturational arrest in individual patients; (iii) the correlation between the distribution patterns of extracellular matrix proteins and clinical presentation points to a role of these proteins in pathophysiology of CM.

Abstract
Several dozen congenital myopathies are defined by clinical and morphological criteria. The application of the current generation of scientific techniques including immunohistochemistry and molecular genetics has resulted in the expansion of our knowledge and understanding of the well-established conditions including central core myopathy and centronuclear/myotubular myopathy and allowed greater understanding of the interrelationships of some of the less common or less well-established conditions. In the near future molecular genetics may allow the identification of the specific gene defect in many of these diseases. This article reviews the major congenital myopathies and presents some of the information gained by application of new technology to these conditions.

Abstract
This review summarizes pathobiochemical aspects of diseases, in which cytoskeletal components play a crucial role in pathogenesis. An attempt to classify the disorders on the basis of phenotypic changes that occur in microfilaments, intermediate filaments and microtubuli was unsuccessful. Three groups of disorders are presented: 1. cytoplasmic inclusions in specific diseases (merely descriptive); 2. diseases with genetic defects in cytoskeletal proteins (a chain of causality from defect to phenotype, in some cases with large gaps); 3. diseases with suspected involvement of cytoskeleton (hypothetical causal chain). Microfilaments are involved in certain pathogenetic processes on account of defects in their associated proteins; in Duchenne muscular dystrophy, dystrophin is defective, while the defective protein in Rett syndrome is synapsin. Defects in spectrin and membrane anchor proteins lead to disorders of the red cell membrane skeleton (congenital haemolytic anaemias). Intermediate filaments accumulate in some types of cytoplasmic inclusions, together with ubiquitin (Mallory bodies, desmin accumulation in some myopathies and others). A pathogenetic interpretation of this phenomenon is lacking. A genetic defect in certain types of keratin is the cause of epidermolysis bullosa. Interesting preliminary results are reviewed that reveal the crucial role of cytoskeletal components in a further group of diseases (intrahepatic cholestasis, Alzheimer disease, pemphigus). These disorders are currently under investigation, or are of theoretical interest with respect to the cytoskeleton. Specific reactions of cytoskeletal components in serum, which might be used diagnostically, have not been found.
