Abstract EN
Mutations of Ca2+-activated proteases (calpains) cause muscular dystrophies.
Nevertheless, the specific role of calpains in Ca2+ signalling during the onset of dystrophies remains unclear.
We investigated Ca2+ handling in skeletal cells from calpain 3-deficient mice.
[Ca2+]i responses to caffeine, a ryanodine receptor (RyR) agonist, were decreased in −/− myotubes and absent in −/− myoblasts.
The −/− myotubes displayed smaller amplitudes of the Ca2+ transients induced by cyclopiazonic acid in comparison to wild type cells.
Inhibition of L-type Ca2+ channels (LCC) suppressed the caffeine-induced [Ca2+]i responses in −/− myotubes.
Hence, the absence of calpain 3 modifies the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ release, by a decrease of the SR content, an impairment of RyR signalling, and an increase of LCC activity.
We propose that calpain 3-dependent proteolysis plays a role in activating support proteins of intracellular Ca2+ signalling at a stage of cellular differentiation which is crucial for skeletal muscle regeneration.
