Abstract
Limb-girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMDs) are caused by mutations in multiple genes. This review article presents 39 genes associated with LGMDs. Some forms are inherited in a dominant fashion, while for others this occurs recessively. The classification of LGMDs has evolved through time. Lately, to be considered an LGMD, the mutation has to cause a predominant proximal muscle weakness and must be found in two or more unrelated families. This article also presents therapies for LGMDs, examining both available treatments and those in development. For now, only symptomatic treatments are available for patients. The goal is now to solve the problem at the root of LGMDs instead of treating each symptom individually. In the last decade, multiple other potential treatments were developed and studied, such as stem-cell transplantation, exon skipping, gene delivery, RNAi, and gene editing.

Kenworthy AK. The building blocks of caveolae revealed: caveolins finally take center stage. Biochem Soc Trans 2023; 51:855-869. [PMID: 37082988 DOI: 10.1042/bst20221298] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2023] [Revised: 04/07/2023] [Accepted: 04/14/2023] [Indexed: 04/22/2023]
Abstract
The ability of cells to divide, migrate, relay signals, sense mechanical stimuli, and respond to stress all rely on nanoscale invaginations of the plasma membrane known as caveolae. The caveolins, a family of monotopic membrane proteins, form the inner layer of the caveolar coat. Caveolins have long been implicated in the generation of membrane curvature, in addition to serving as scaffolds for signaling proteins. Until recently, however, the molecular architecture of caveolins was unknown, making it impossible to understand how they operate at a mechanistic level. Over the past year, two independent lines of evidence - experimental and computational - have now converged to provide the first-ever glimpse into the structure of the oligomeric caveolin complexes that function as the building blocks of caveolae. Here, we summarize how these discoveries are transforming our understanding of this long-enigmatic protein family and their role in caveolae assembly and function. We present new models inspired by the structure for how caveolins oligomerize, remodel membranes, interact with their binding partners, and reorganize when mutated. Finally, we discuss emerging insights into structural differences among caveolin family members that enable them to support the proper functions of diverse tissues and organisms.

Abstract
Caveolin-1 (CAV1) is a membrane-sculpting protein that oligomerizes to generate flask-shaped invaginations of the plasma membrane known as caveolae. Mutations in CAV1 have been linked to multiple diseases in humans. Such mutations often interfere with oligomerization and the intracellular trafficking processes required for successful caveolae assembly, but the molecular mechanisms underlying these defects have not been structurally explained. Here, we investigate how a disease-associated mutation in one of the most highly conserved residues in CAV1, P132L, affects CAV1 structure and oligomerization. We show that P132 is positioned at a major site of protomer-protomer interactions within the CAV1 complex, providing a structural explanation for why the mutant protein fails to homo-oligomerize correctly. Using a combination of computational, structural, biochemical, and cell biological approaches, we find that despite its homo-oligomerization defects P132L is capable of forming mixed hetero-oligomeric complexes with WT CAV1 and that these complexes can be incorporated into caveolae. These findings provide insights into the fundamental mechanisms that control the formation of homo- and hetero-oligomers of caveolins that are essential for caveolae biogenesis, as well as how these processes are disrupted in human disease.

Abstract
Distal myopathies are a group of genetic, primary muscle diseases. Patients develop progressive weakness and atrophy of the muscles of forearm, hands, lower leg, or feet. Currently, over 20 different forms, presenting a variable age of onset, clinical presentation, disease progression, muscle involvement, and histological findings, are known. Some of them are dominant and some recessive. Different variants in the same gene are often associated with either dominant or recessive forms, although there is a lack of a comprehensive understanding of the genotype-phenotype correlations. This chapter provides a description of the clinicopathologic and genetic aspects of distal myopathies emphasizing known etiologic and pathophysiologic mechanisms.

Abstract
Background Severe skeletal muscle damage has been recently reported in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection and as a rare vaccination complication. Case summary On Apr 28, 2021 a 68-year-old man who was previously healthy presented with an extremely severe rhabdomyolysis that occurred nine days following the first dose of SARS-CoV-2 ChAdOx1 nCov-19 vaccination. He had no risk factors, and denied any further assumption of drugs except for fermented red rice, and berberine supplement. The clinical scenario was complicated by a multi organ failure involving bone marrow, liver, lung, and kidney. For the rapid increase of the inflammatory markers, a cytokine storm was suspected and multi-target biologic immunosuppressive therapy was started, consisting of steroids, anakinra, and eculizumab, which was initially successful resulting in close to normal values of creatine phosphokinase after 17 days of treatment. Unfortunately, 48 days after the vaccination an accelerated phase of deterioration, characterized by severe multi-lineage cytopenia, untreatable hypotensive shock, hypoglycemia, and dramatic increase of procalcitonin (PCT), led to patient death. Conclusion Physicians should be aware that severe and fatal rhabdomyolysis may occur after SARS-CoV2 vaccine administration.

Abstract
Distal myopathies are genetic primary muscle disorders with a prominent weakness at onset in hands and/or feet. The age of onset (from early childhood to adulthood), the distribution of muscle weakness (upper versus lower limbs) and the histological findings (ranging from nonspecific myopathic changes to myofibrillar disarrays and rimmed vacuoles) are extremely variable. However, despite being characterized by a wide clinical and genetic heterogeneity, the distal myopathies are a category of muscular dystrophies: genetic diseases with progressive loss of muscle fibers. Myopathic congenital arthrogryposis is also a form of distal myopathy usually caused by focal amyoplasia. Massive parallel sequencing has further expanded the long list of genes associated with a distal myopathy, and contributed identifying as distal myopathy-causative rare variants in genes more often related with other skeletal or cardiac muscle diseases. Currently, almost 20 genes (ACTN2, CAV3, CRYAB, DNAJB6, DNM2, FLNC, HNRNPA1, HSPB8, KHLH9, LDB3, MATR3, MB, MYOT, PLIN4, TIA1, VCP, NOTCH2NLC, LRP12, GIPS1) have been associated with an autosomal dominant form of distal myopathy. Pathogenic changes in four genes (ADSSL, ANO5, DYSF, GNE) cause an autosomal recessive form; and disease-causing variants in five genes (DES, MYH7, NEB, RYR1 and TTN) result either in a dominant or in a recessive distal myopathy. Finally, a digenic mechanism, underlying a Welander-like form of distal myopathy, has been recently elucidated. Rare pathogenic mutations in SQSTM1, previously identified with a bone disease (Paget disease), unexpectedly cause a distal myopathy when combined with a common polymorphism in TIA1. The present review aims at describing the genetic basis of distal myopathy and at summarizing the clinical features of the different forms described so far.

A Role for Caveolin-3 in the Pathogenesis of Muscular Dystrophies. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21228736.

Abstract
Caveolae are the cholesterol-rich small invaginations of the plasma membrane present in many cell types including adipocytes, endothelial cells, epithelial cells, fibroblasts, smooth muscles, skeletal muscles and cardiac muscles. They serve as specialized platforms for many signaling molecules and regulate important cellular processes like energy metabolism, lipid metabolism, mitochondria homeostasis, and mechano-transduction. Caveolae can be internalized together with associated cargo. The caveolae-dependent endocytic pathway plays a role in the withdrawal of many plasma membrane components that can be sent for degradation or recycled back to the cell surface. Caveolae are formed by oligomerization of caveolin proteins. Caveolin-3 is a muscle-specific isoform, whose malfunction is associated with several diseases including diabetes, cancer, atherosclerosis, and cardiovascular diseases. Mutations in Caveolin-3 are known to cause muscular dystrophies that are collectively called caveolinopathies. Altered expression of Caveolin-3 is also observed in Duchenne’s muscular dystrophy, which is likely a part of the pathological process leading to muscle weakness. This review summarizes the major functions of Caveolin-3 in skeletal muscles and discusses its involvement in the pathology of muscular dystrophies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Whether asymptomatic hyper-CKemia (AHCE) should prompt a thorough work-up for muscle disease or not is controversially discussed. This review aims at summarizing and discussing recent findings concerning the cause, frequency, evolution, and work-up of conditions manifesting as AHCE and normal or abnormal electromyography (EMG) respectively muscle biopsy. METHODS Systematic PubMed search. RESULTS There are numerous primary (hereditary) and acquired myopathies that manifest with permanent, recurrent, or temporary AHCE with/without myopathic EMG or muscle biopsy. AHCE particularly occurs at onset of these conditions, which include dystrophinopathies, myotilinopathies, calpainopathy, caveolinopathy, dysferlinopathy, central core disease, multicore disease, desminopathy, MD1, MD2, hypoPP, malignant hyperthermia susceptibility, Pompe disease, McArdle disease, myoadenylate deaminase-deficiency, CPT2-deficiency, mitochondrial disorders, or myopathy with tubular aggregates. Most likely, other primary myopathies manifest with AHCE as well, without having been reported. Patients with AHCE should be taken seriously and repeated CK determination must be conducted. If hyper-CKemia is persisting or recurrent, these patients should undergo an EMG and eventually muscle biopsy. If noninformative, genetic work-up by a panel or whole exome sequencing should be initiated, irrespective of the family history. Patients with AHCE should avoid excessive exercise, require sufficient hydration, require counseling with regard to the risk of malignant hyperthermia, and should inform anesthesiologists and surgeons about their condition before elective surgery. CONCLUSIONS Recurrent AHCE should be taken seriously and managed with conventional work-up. If noninformative, genetic work-up should follow irrespective of the family history.

Abstract
Caveolin-3 is the major structural protein of caveolae in muscle. Mutations in the CAV3 gene cause different types of myopathies with altered membrane integrity and repair, expression of muscle proteins, and regulation of signaling pathways. We show here that myotubes from patients bearing the CAV3 P28L and R26Q mutations present a dramatic decrease of caveolae at the plasma membrane, resulting in abnormal response to mechanical stress. Mutant myotubes are unable to buffer the increase in membrane tension induced by mechanical stress. This results in impaired regulation of the IL6/STAT3 signaling pathway leading to its constitutive hyperactivation and increased expression of muscle genes. These defects are fully reversed by reassembling functional caveolae through expression of caveolin-3. Our study reveals that under mechanical stress the regulation of mechanoprotection by caveolae is directly coupled with the regulation of IL6/STAT3 signaling in muscle cells and that this regulation is absent in Cav3-associated dystrophic patients. Caveolae are mechanosensors and mutations of their coat proteins are implicated in muscle disorders, but molecular mechanisms are unclear. Here, the authors show that caveolae can regulate IL6/STAT3 signaling in muscle cells under stress, and that dystrophy related Cav3 mutant myotubes have reduced caveolae and upregulated IL6 signaling.

Abstract
Dystroglycan is a ubiquitous membrane protein that functions as a mechanical connection between the extracellular matrix and cytoskeleton. In skeletal muscle, dystroglycan plays an indispensable role in regulating muscle regeneration; a malfunction in dystroglycan is associated with muscular dystrophy. The regulation of dystroglycan stability is poorly understood. Here, we report that WWP1, a member of NEDD4 E3 ubiquitin ligase family, promotes ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of β-dystroglycan. Our results indicate that dystrophin and utrophin protect β-dystroglycan from WWP1-mediated degradation by competing with WWP1 for the shared binding site at the cytosolic tail of β-dystroglycan. In addition, we show that a missense mutation (arginine 440 to glutamine) in WWP1-which is known to cause muscular dystrophy in chickens-increases the ubiquitin ligase-mediated ubiquitination of both β-dystroglycan and WWP1. The R440Q missense mutation in WWP1 decreases HECT domain-mediated intramolecular interactions to relieve autoinhibition of the enzyme. Our results provide new insight into the regulation of β-dystroglycan degradation by WWP1 and other Nedd4 family members and improves our understanding of dystroglycan-related disorders.

Abstract
High creatine kinase (CK) levels can be associated with many disorders, including neuromuscular, cardiac, metabolic, endocrine and traumatic. Idiopathic hyperCKemia is a diagnostic dilemma for physicians even though its long-term prognosis is usually benign. We report a case of a Caucasian 61-year-old woman who presented as completely asymptomatic to her general practitioner with a serum CK (sCK) level at 6,122 IU/l. A complete diagnostic evaluation, including physical and laboratory examinations, electromyogram and muscle biopsy were negative for any neuromuscular or other disorder. Two years later the patient remains asymptomatic, active and overall healthy but sCK levels remain elevated, ≤6,591 IU/l (>50-fold higher than normal values).

Abstract
How to manage a patient who has an elevated serum creatine kinase (CK) level but no or insignificant muscle-related signs and symptoms is a clinical conundrum. The authors provide a systematic approach, including repeat testing after a period of rest, defining higher thresholds over which pursuing a diagnosis is worthwhile, and evaluating for a variety of nonneuromuscular causes. They also outline a workup for neuromuscular causes.

Abstract
Cases of acquired rippling muscle disease in association with myasthenia gravis have been reported. We present three patients with iRMD (immune-mediated rippling muscle disease) and AChR-antibody positive myasthenia gravis. None of them had thymus pathology. They presented exercise-induced muscle rippling combined with generalized myasthenia gravis. One of them had muscle biopsy showing a myopathic pattern and a patchy immunostaining with caveolin antibodies. They were successfully treated steroids and azathioprine. The immune nature of this association is supported by the response to immunotherapies and the positivity of AChR-antibodies.

Abstract
Caveolae, an almost ubiquitous, structural component of the plasma membrane, play a critical role in many functions essential for proper cell function, including membrane trafficking, signal transduction, extracellular matrix remodeling, and tissue regeneration. Three main types of caveolin proteins have been identified from caveolae since the discovery of caveolin-1 in the early 1990s. All three (Cav-1, Cav-2, and Cav-3) play crucial roles in mammalian physiology, and can effect pathogenesis in a wide range of human diseases. While many biological activities of caveolins have been uncovered since its discovery, their role and regulation in embryonic develop remain largely poorly understood, although there is increasing evidence that caveolins may be linked to lung and brain birth defects. Further investigations are clearly needed to decipher how caveolae/caveolins mediate cellular functions and activities of normal embryogenesis and how their perturbations contribute to developmental disorders.

Abstract
Aquaglyceroporins and caveolins are submicroscopic integral membrane proteins that are particularly abundant in many mammalian cells. Aquaglyceroporins (AQP3, AQP7, AQP9 and AQP10) encompass a subfamily of aquaporins that allow the movement of water, but also of small solutes, such as glycerol, across cell membranes. Glycerol constitutes an important metabolite as a substrate for de novo synthesis of triacylglycerols and glucose as well as an energy substrate to produce ATP via the mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. In this sense, the control of glycerol influx/efflux in metabolic organs by aquaglyceroporins plays a crucial role with the dysregulation of these glycerol channels being associated with metabolic diseases, such as obesity, insulin resistance, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and cardiac hypertrophy. On the other hand, caveolae have emerged as relevant plasma membrane sensors implicated in a wide range of cellular functions, including endocytosis, apoptosis, cholesterol homeostasis, proliferation and signal transduction. Caveolae-coating proteins, namely caveolins and cavins, can act as scaffolding proteins within caveolae by concentrating signaling molecules involved in free fatty acid and cholesterol uptake, proliferation, insulin signaling or vasorelaxation, among others. The importance of caveolae in whole-body homeostasis is highlighted by the link between homozygous mutations in genes encoding caveolins and cavins with metabolic diseases, such as lipodystrophy, dyslipidemia, muscular dystrophy and insulin resistance in rodents and humans. The present review focuses on the role of aquaglyceroporins and caveolins on lipid and glucose metabolism, insulin secretion and signaling, energy production and cardiovascular homeostasis, outlining their potential relevance in the development and treatment of metabolic diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mutations in CAV3, coding for caveolin-3, the major constituent scaffolding protein of cardiac caveolae, have been associated with skeletal muscle disease, cardiomyopathy, and most recently long-QT syndrome (LQTS) and sudden infant death syndrome. We examined the occurrence of CAV3 mutations in a large cohort of patients with LQTS. METHODS AND RESULTS Probands with LQTS (n=167) were screened for mutations in CAV3 using direct DNA sequencing. A single proband (0.6%) was found to be a heterozygous carrier of a previously described missense mutation, caveolin-3:p.T78M. The proband was also a heterozygous carrier of the trafficking-deficient Kv11.1:p.I400N mutation. The caveolin-3:p.T78M mutation was found isolated in 3 family members, none of whom had a prolonged QTc interval. Coimmunoprecipitations of caveolin-3 and the voltage-gated potassium channel subunit (Kv11.1) were performed, and the electrophysiological classification of the Kv11.1 mutant was carried out by patch-clamp technique in human embryonic kidney 293 cells. Furthermore, the T-wave morphology was assessed in mutation carriers, double mutation carriers, and nonmutation carriers by applying a morphology combination score. The morphology combination score was normal for isolated caveolin-3:p.T78M carriers and of LQT2 type in double heterozygotes. CONCLUSIONS Mutations in CAV3 are rare in LQTS. Furthermore, caveolin-3:p.T78M did not exhibit a LQTS phenotype. Because no association has ever been found between LQTS and isolated CAV3 mutations, we suggest that LQTS9 is considered a provisional entity.

Abstract
Caveolae are omega-shaped membrane invaginations present in essentially all cell types of the cardiovascular system, including endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, macrophages, cardiac myocytes, and fibroblasts. Numerous functions have been ascribed to this omega-shaped structure. Caveolae are enriched with different signaling molecules and ion channel regulatory proteins and function both in protein trafficking and signal transduction in these cell types. Caveolins are the structural proteins that are necessary for the formation of caveola membrane domains. Mechanistically, caveolins interact with a variety of downstream signaling molecules, as, for example, Src-family tyrosine kinase, p42/44 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase, and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and hold the signal transducers in the inactive condition until activated with proper stimulus. Caveolae are gradually acquiring increasing attention as cellular organelles contributing to the pathogenesis of several structural and functional processes including cardiac hypertrophy, atherosclerosis, and heart failure. At present, very little is known about the role of caveolae in cardiac function and dysfunction, although recent studies with caveolin knock-out mouse have shown that caveolae and caveolins play a pivotal role in various human pathobiological conditions. This review will discuss the possible role and mechanism of action of caveolae and caveolins in different cardiac diseases.

Abstract
Our understanding of endocytosis has evolved remarkably in little more than a decade. This is the result not only of advances in our knowledge of its molecular and biological workings, but also of a true paradigm shift in our understanding of what really constitutes endocytosis and of its role in homeostasis. Although endocytosis was initially discovered and studied as a relatively simple process to transport molecules across the plasma membrane, it was subsequently found to be inextricably linked with almost all aspects of cellular signaling. This led to the notion that endocytosis is actually the master organizer of cellular signaling, providing the cell with understandable messages that have been resolved in space and time. In essence, endocytosis provides the communications and supply routes (the logistics) of the cell. Although this may seem revolutionary, it is still likely to be only a small part of the entire story. A wealth of new evidence is uncovering the surprisingly pervasive nature of endocytosis in essentially all aspects of cellular regulation. In addition, many newly discovered functions of endocytic proteins are not immediately interpretable within the classical view of endocytosis. A possible framework, to rationalize all this new knowledge, requires us to "upgrade" our vision of endocytosis. By combining the analysis of biochemical, biological, and evolutionary evidence, we propose herein that endocytosis constitutes one of the major enabling conditions that in the history of life permitted the development of a higher level of organization, leading to the actuation of the eukaryotic cell plan.

Abstract
Caveolae are specialized lipid rafts localized on the cytoplasmic surface of the sarcolemmal membrane. Caveolae contribute to the maintenance of plasma membrane integrity, constitute specific macromolecular complexes that provide highly localized regulation of ion channels, and regulate vesicular trafficking and signal transduction. In skeletal muscle, the main structural assembly of caveolae is mediated by caveolin-3. Another family of adapter proteins, the cavins, is involved in the regulation of caveolae function and in the trafficking of caveolin-derived structures. Caveolin-3 defects lead to four distinct skeletal muscle disease phenotypes: limb-girdle muscular dystrophy, rippling muscle disease, distal myopathy, and hyperCKemia. Many patients show an overlap of these symptoms, and the same mutation can be linked to different clinical phenotypes. An ever-growing interest is also focused on the association between caveolin-3 mutations and heart disorders. Indeed, caveolin-3 mutants have been described in a patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and two patients with dilated cardiomyopathy, and mutations in the caveolin-3 gene (CAV3) have been identified in patients affected by congenital long QT syndrome. Although caveolin-3 deficiency represents the primary event, multiple secondary molecular mechanisms lead to muscle tissue damage. Among these, sarcolemmal membrane alterations, disorganization of skeletal muscle T-tubule network, and disruption of distinct cell signaling pathways have been determined.

Abstract
Congenital generalized lipodystrophy (CGL) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by near total absence of body fat since birth with predisposition to insulin resistance, diabetes, hypertriglyceridemia, and hepatic steatosis. Three CGL loci, AGPAT2, BSCL2, and CAV1, have been identified previously. Recently, mutations in polymerase I and transcript release factor (PTRF) were reported in five Japanese patients presenting with myopathy and CGL (CGL4). We report novel PTRF mutations and detailed phenotypes of two male and three female patients with CGL4 belonging to two pedigrees of Mexican origin (CGL7100 and CGL178) and one pedigree of Turkish origin (CGL180). All patients had near total loss of body fat and congenital myopathy manifesting as weakness, percussion-induced muscle mounding, and high serum creatine kinase levels. Four of them had hypertriglyceridemia. Three of them had atlantoaxial instability. Two patients belonging to CGL178 pedigree required surgery for pyloric stenosis in the first month of life. None of them had prolonged QT interval on electrocardiography but both siblings belonging to CGL7100 had exercise-induced ventricular arrhythmias. Three of them had mild acanthosis nigricans but had normal glucose tolerance. Two of them had hepatic steatosis. All patients had novel null mutations in PTRF gene. In conclusion, mutations in PTRF result in a novel phenotype that includes generalized lipodystrophy with mild metabolic derangements, myopathy, cardiac arrhythmias, atlantoaxial instability, and pyloric stenosis. It is unclear how mutations in PTRF, which plays an essential role in formation of caveolae, affect a wide variety of tissues resulting in a variable phenotype.

Abstract
Muscular dystrophies are clinically, genetically, and molecularly a heterogeneous group of neuromuscular disorders. Considerable advances have been made in recent years in the identification of causative genes, the differentiation of the different forms and in broadening the understanding of pathogenesis. Muscle pathology has an important role in these aspects, but correlation of the pathology with clinical phenotype is essential. Immunohistochemistry has a major role in differential diagnosis, particularly in recessive forms where an absence or reduction in protein expression can be detected. Several muscular dystrophies are caused by defects in genes encoding sarcolemmal proteins, several of which are known to interact. Others are caused by defects in nuclear membrane proteins or enzymes. Assessment of both primary and secondary abnormalities in protein expression is useful, in particular the hypoglycosylation of alpha-dystroglycan. In dominantly inherited muscular dystrophies it is rarely possible to detect a change in the expression of the primary defective protein; an exception to this is caveolin-3.

Abstract
Caveolae are specialized lipid rafts that form flask-shaped invaginations of the plasma membrane. They are involved in cell signalling and transport and have been shown critically regulate vascular reactivity and blood pressure. The organization and functions of caveolae are mediated by coat proteins (caveolins) and support or adapter proteins (cavins). The caveolins, caveolin-1, -2, and -3, form the structural backbone of caveolae. These proteins are also highly integrated into caveolae function and have their own activity independent of caveolae. The cavins, cavins 1-4, are involved in regulation of caveolae and modulate the function of caveolins by promoting the membrane remodelling and trafficking of caveolin-derived structures. The relationships between these different proteins are complex and intersect with many aspects of cell function. Caveolae have also been implicated in chronic inflammatory conditions and other pathologies including atherosclerosis, inflammatory bowel disease, muscular dystrophy, and generalized dyslipidaemia. The pathogenic role of the caveolins is an emerging area, however, the roles of cavins in disease is just beginning to be explored. This review will examine the relationship between caveolins and cavins and explore the role of caveolae in inflammatory signalling mechanisms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Muscular dystrophies include a spectrum of muscle disorders, some of which are phenotypically well characterized. The identification of dystrophin as the causative factor in Duchenne muscular dystrophy has led to the development of molecular genetics and has facilitated the division of muscular dystrophies into distinct groups, among which are the 'limb girdle muscular dystrophies'. OBJECTIVES This article reviews the methodology to be used in the diagnosis of muscular dystrophies, focused on the groups of limb girdle muscular dystrophies, and the development of new strategies to reach a final molecular diagnosis. METHOD A literature review (Medline) from 1985 to the present. CONCLUSION Immunohistochemistry and western blotting analyses of the proteins involved in the various forms of muscular dystrophies have permitted a refined pathological approach necessary to conduct genetic studies and to offer appropriate genetic counseling. The application of molecular medicine in genetic muscular dystrophies also brings great hope to the therapeutic management of these patients.

Abstract
Caveolin-3, the myocyte-specific isoform of caveolins, is preferentially expressed in skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscles. Mutations in the CAV3 gene cause clinically heterogeneous neuromuscular disorders, including rippling muscle disease, or cardiopathies. The same mutation may lead to different phenotypes, but cardiac and muscle involvement rarely coexists suggesting that the molecular network acting with caveolin-3 in skeletal muscle and heart may differ. Here we describe an Italian family (a father and his two sons) with clinical and neurophysiological features of rippling muscle disease and heart involvement characterized by atrio-ventricular conduction defects and dilated cardiomyopathy. Muscle biopsy showed loss of caveolin-3 immunosignal. Molecular studies identified the p.A46V mutation in CAV3 previously reported in a German family with autosomal dominant rippling muscle disease and sudden death in few individuals. We suggest that cardiac dysfunction in myopathic patients with CAV3 mutations may be underestimated and recommend a more thorough evaluation for the presence of cardiomyopathy and potentially lethal arrhythmias.

Abstract
In muscle tissue the protein caveolin-3 forms caveolae--flask-shaped invaginations localized on the cytoplasmic surface of the sarcolemmal membrane. Caveolae have a key role in the maintenance of plasma membrane integrity and in the processes of vesicular trafficking and signal transduction. Mutations in the caveolin-3 gene lead to skeletal muscle pathology through multiple pathogenetic mechanisms. Indeed, caveolin-3 deficiency is associated to sarcolemmal membrane alterations, disorganization of skeletal muscle T-tubule network and disruption of distinct cell-signaling pathways. To date, there have been 30 caveolin-3 mutations identified in the human population. Caveolin-3 defects lead to four distinct skeletal muscle disease phenotypes: limb girdle muscular dystrophy, rippling muscle disease, distal myopathy, and hyperCKemia. In addition, one caveolin-3 mutant has been described in a case of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Many patients show an overlap of these symptoms and the same mutation can be linked to different clinical phenotypes. This variability can be related to additional genetic or environmental factors. This review will address caveolin-3 biological functions in muscle cells and will describe the muscle and heart disease phenotypes associated with caveolin-3 mutations.

Abstract
Caveolins are the principal protein components of caveolae, invaginations of the plasma membrane involved in cell signaling and trafficking. Caveolin-3 (Cav-3) is the muscle-specific isoform of the caveolin family and mutations in the CAV3 gene lead to a large group of neuromuscular disorders. In unrelated patients, we identified two distinct CAV3 mutations involving the same codon 78. Patient 1, affected by dilated cardiomyopathy and limb girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD)-1C, shows an autosomal recessive mutation converting threonine to methionine (T78M). Patient 2, affected by isolated familiar hyperCKemia, shows an autosomal dominant mutation converting threonine to lysine (T78K). Cav-3 wild type (WT) and Cav-3 mutations were transiently transfected into Cos-7 cells. Cav-3 WT and Cav-3 T78M mutant localized at the plasma membrane, whereas Cav-3 T78K was retained in a perinuclear compartment. Cav-3 T78K expression was decreased by 87% when compared with Cav-3 WT, whereas Cav-3 T78M protein levels were unchanged. To evaluate whether Cav-3 T78K and Cav-3 T78M mutants behaved with a dominant negative pattern, Cos-7 cells were cotransfected with green fluorescent protein (GFP)-Cav-3 WT in combination with either mutant or WT Cav-3. When cotransfected with Cav-3 WT or Cav-3 T78M, GFP-Cav-3 WT was localized at the plasma membrane, as expected. However, when cotransfected with Cav-3 T78K, GFP-Cav-3 WT was retained in a perinuclear compartment, and its protein levels were reduced by 60%, suggesting a dominant negative action. Accordingly, Cav-3 protein levels in muscles from a biopsy of patient 2 (T78K mutation) were reduced by 80%. In conclusion, CAV3 T78M and T78K mutations lead to distinct disorders showing different clinical features and inheritance, and displaying distinct phenotypes in vitro.

Abstract
Dysferlin and Caveolin-3 are plasma membrane proteins associated with muscular dystrophy. Patients with mutations in the CAV3 gene show dysferlin mislocalization in muscle cells. By utilizing caveolin-null cells, expression of caveolin mutants, and different mutants of dysferlin, we have dissected the site of action of caveolin with respect to dysferlin trafficking pathways. We now show that Caveolin-1 or -3 can facilitate exit of a dysferlin mutant that accumulates in the Golgi complex of Cav1(-/-) cells. In contrast, wild type dysferlin reaches the plasma membrane but is rapidly endocytosed in Cav1(-/-) cells. We demonstrate that the primary effect of caveolin is to cause surface retention of dysferlin. Caveolin-1 or Caveolin-3, but not specific caveolin mutants, inhibit endocytosis of dysferlin through a clathrin-independent pathway colocalizing with internalized glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored proteins. Our results provide new insights into the role of this endocytic pathway in surface remodeling of specific surface components. In addition, they highlight a novel mechanism of action of caveolins relevant to the pathogenic mechanisms underlying caveolin-associated disease.

Abstract
We characterized the frequency of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) subtypes in a cohort of 76 Australian muscular dystrophy patients using protein and DNA sequence analysis. Calpainopathies (8%) and dysferlinopathies (5%) are the most common causes of LGMD in Australia. In contrast to European populations, cases of LGMD2I (due to mutations in FKRP) are rare in Australasia (3%). We have identified a cohort of patients in whom all common disease candidates have been excluded, providing a valuable resource for identification of new disease genes. Cytoplasmic localization of dysferlin correlates with fiber regeneration in a subset of muscular dystrophy patients. In addition, we have identified a group of patients with unidentified forms of LGMD and with markedly abnormal dysferlin localization that does not correlate with fiber regeneration. This pattern is mimicked in primary caveolinopathy, suggesting a subset of these patients may also possess mutations within proteins required for membrane targeting of dysferlin.

Abstract
As caveolin-3 deficiencies may explain persistent hyper-CK-emia, we performed CAV3 gene mutation analysis and immunohistochemistry for caveolin-3 in 31 patients with idiopathic hyper-CK-emia. In 2 of 29 patients who donated blood, variants in the CAV3 gene were detected. Although immunohistochemical analysis strongly suggested that caveolin-3 was properly localized in the muscle tissue of the two affected patients, it may not function normally and could thus explain their persistent hyper-CK-emia. Our findings contribute to the clarification of unexplained persistent hyper-CK-emia, but further research is needed before CAV3 gene mutation analysis becomes part of the routine evaluation of these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is one of the leading causes of death during the first year of life. Long QT syndrome (LQTS)-associated mutations may be responsible for 5% to 10% of SIDS cases. We recently established CAV3-encoded caveolin-3 as a novel LQTS-associated gene with mutations producing a gain-of-function, LQT3-like molecular/cellular phenotype. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence and functional properties of CAV3 mutations in SIDS. METHODS Using polymerase chain reaction, denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography, and DNA sequencing, postmortem genetic testing of CAV3 was performed on genomic DNA isolated from frozen necropsy tissue on a population-based cohort of unrelated cases of SIDS (N = 134, 57 females, average age = 2.7 months). CAV3 mutations were engineered using site-directed mutagenesis and heterologously expressed in HEK293 cell lines stably expressing the SCN5A-encoded cardiac sodium channel. RESULTS Overall, three distinct CAV3 mutations (V14L, T78M, and L79R) were identified in three of 50 black infants (6-month-old male, 2-month-old female, and 8 month-old female), whereas no mutations were detected in 83 white infants (P <.05). CAV3 mutations were more likely in decedents 6 months or older (2/12) than in infants who died before 6 months (1/124, P = .02). Voltage clamp studies showed that all three CAV3 mutations caused a significant fivefold increase in late sodium current compared with controls. CONCLUSION This study provides the first molecular and functional evidence implicating CAV3 as a pathogenic basis of SIDS. The LQT3-like phenotype of increased late sodium current supports an arrhythmogenic mechanism for some cases of SIDS.

Abstract
Persistent elevation of serum creatine kinase (CK) in individuals with normal neurological and laboratory examinations has been called idiopathic hyperCKemia (IH). IH has been reported in rare families and was recently ascribed to caveolin-3 gene mutations. We retrospectively found that IH was familial in 13 of 28 subjects in whom serum CK was measured in relatives. These 13 families had a total of 41 subjects with IH, including six over 60 years of age. In eight families there was male-to-male transmission and a higher prevalence of males with hyperCKemia. Muscle biopsy in one member of all families was normal or showed minimal, nonspecific changes. Morphometric examination disclosed different patterns of changes in fiber size and distribution. Caveolin-3 expression was normal and in five families molecular genetics excluded caveolin-3 gene mutations. Our findings suggest that IH is familial in 46% of cases. Familial IH is a benign genetically heterogeneous condition that is autosomal-dominant in at least 60% of cases, with a higher penetrance in men.

Abstract
Mutations in the dysferlin (DYSF) and caveolin-3 (CAV3) genes are associated with muscle disease. Dysferlin is mislocalized, by an unknown mechanism, in muscle from patients with mutations in caveolin-3 (Cav-3). To examine the link between Cav-3 mutations and dysferlin mistargeting, we studied their localization at high resolution in muscle fibers, in a model muscle cell line, and upon heterologous expression of dysferlin in muscle cell lines and in wild-type or caveolin-null fibroblasts. Dysferlin shows only partial overlap with Cav-3 on the surface of isolated muscle fibers but co-localizes with Cav-3 in developing transverse (T)-tubules in muscle cell lines. Heterologously expressed dystrophy-associated mutant Cav3R26Q accumulates in the Golgi complex of muscle cell lines or fibroblasts. Cav3R26Q and other Golgi-associated mutants of both Cav-3 (Cav3P104L) and Cav-1 (Cav1P132L) caused a dramatic redistribution of dysferlin to the Golgi complex. Heterologously expressed epitope-tagged dysferlin associates with the plasma membrane in primary fibroblasts and muscle cells. Transport to the cell surface is impaired in the absence of Cav-1 or Cav-3 showing that caveolins are essential for dysferlin association with the PM. These results suggest a functional role for caveolins in a novel post-Golgi trafficking pathway followed by dysferlin.

Abstract
The muscular dystrophies are a heterogeneous group of inherited disorders characterized by progressive muscle wasting and weakness. These disorders present a large clinical variability regarding age of onset, patterns of skeletal muscle involvement, heart damage, rate of progression and mode of inheritance. Difficulties in classification are often caused by the relatively common sporadic occurrence of autosomal recessive forms as well as by intrafamilial clinical variability. Furthermore recent discoveries, particularly regarding the proteins linking the sarcolemma to components of the extracellular matrix, have restricted the gap existing between limb girdle (LGMD) and congenital muscular dystrophies (CMD). Therefore a renewed definition of boundaries between these two groups is required. Molecular genetic studies have demonstrated different causative mutations in the genes encoding a disparate collection of proteins involved in all aspects of muscle cell biology. These novel skeletal muscle genes encode highly diverse proteins with different localization within or at the surface of the skeletal muscle fibre, such as the sarcolemmal muscle membrane (dystrophin, sarcoglycans, dysferlin, caveolin-3), the extracellular matrix (alpha2 laminin, collagen VI), the sarcomere (telethonin, myotilin, titin, nebulin and ZASP), the muscle cytosol (calpain-3, TRIM32), the nucleus (emerin, lamin A/C) and the glycosilation pathway enzymes (fukutin and fukutin related proteins). The accumulating knowledge about the role of these different proteins in muscle pathology has led to a profound change in the original phenotype-based classification and shed new light on the molecular pathogenesis of these disorders.
