The disease mechanism underlying myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) pathogenesis in skeletal muscle may involve sequestration of RNA binding proteins in nuclear foci of expanded poly(CUG) RNA. Here we report evidence for a parallel mechanism in the heart. Accumulation of expanded poly(CUG) RNA in nuclear foci is associated with sequestration of muscleblind proteins and abnormal regulation of alternative splicing in DM1 cardiac muscle. A toxic effect of RNA with an expanded repeat may contribute to cardiac disease in DM1.

D002467 Cell Nucleus Within a eukaryotic cell, a membrane-limited body which contains chromosomes and one or more nucleoli (CELL NUCLEOLUS). The nuclear membrane consists of a double unit-type membrane which is perforated by a number of pores; the outermost membrane is continuous with the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM. A cell may contain more than one nucleus. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed) Cell Nuclei,Nuclei, Cell,Nucleus, Cell

D017398 Alternative Splicing A process whereby multiple RNA transcripts are generated from a single gene. Alternative splicing involves the splicing together of other possible sets of EXONS during the processing of some, but not all, transcripts of the gene. Thus a particular exon may be connected to any one of several alternative exons to form a mature RNA. The alternative forms of mature MESSENGER RNA produce PROTEIN ISOFORMS in which one part of the isoforms is common while the other parts are different.
