Popis: Myotonic dystrophy (DM1) is a dominant autosomal multisystemic disorder caused by the expansion of an unstable CTG trinucleotide repeat in the 3′ untranslated region of the DMPK gene. Nuclear accumulation of the enlarged CUG-containing DMPK transcripts has a deleterious effect on the regulation of alternative splicing of some RNAs and has a central role in causing the symptoms of DM1. In particular, Insulin Receptor (IR) mRNA splicing defects have been observed in the muscle of DM1 patients. In this study, we have investigated IR splicing in insulin-responsive tissues (i.e. skeletal muscles, adipose tissue, liver) and pancreas and we have studied glucose metabolism in mice carrying the human genomic DM1 region with expanded (> 350 CTG) or normal (20 CTG) repeats and in wild-type mice. Mice carrying DM1 expansions displayed a tissue- and age-dependent abnormal regulation of IR mRNA splicing in all the tissues that we investigated. Furthermore, these mice showed a basal hyperglycemia and glucose intolerance which disappeared with age. Our findings show that deregulation of IR splicing due to the DM1 mutation can occur in different mouse tissues, suggesting that CTG repeat expansions might also result in IR misplicing not only in muscles but also in other tissues in DM1 patients.
