Abstract

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), an autosomal-recessive lower motor neuron disease, causes progressive proximal muscle waste and weakness. It remains unclear whether myopathic changes are involved in pathogenesis. We encountered a patient with adult-onset SMA caused by a homozygous deletion in exon 7 of the survival motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene who had had four copies of SMN2 exon 7. Muscle biopsy showed neurogenic features of groups of atrophic fibers, fiber-type grouping, and pyknotic nuclear clumps associated with fibers with rimmed vacuoles. Immunohistochemistry revealed sarcoplasmic aggregates of phosphorylated TDP-43 and p62 but not SMN. This study demonstrated myopathic changes with the accumulation of phosphorylated p62 and TDP-43 in the muscles of a patient with SMA, suggesting that abnormal protein aggregation may be involved in myopathic pathology.

成人发作性脊髓性肌萎缩中蛋白质聚集体引起的肌病变。
脊髓性肌萎缩(SMA)是一种常染色体隐性下运动神经元疾病,可导致进行性近端肌肉浪费和无力。目前尚不清楚肌病的变化是否与发病机制有关。我们遇到了一名成年发作性SMA患者,该患者由存活运动神经元1(SMN1)基因外显子7的纯合缺失引起,该患者具有四个拷贝的SMN2外显子。肌肉活检显示萎缩纤维组的神经源性特征,纤维类型分组,与带边框液泡的纤维相关的固缩性核团。免疫组织化学显示磷酸化TDP-43和p62的肌浆聚集体,但不显示SMN。这项研究表明,SMA患者肌肉中磷酸化p62和TDP-43的积累引起了肌病的变化,这表明异常的蛋白质聚集可能与肌病病理有关。
