The distribution of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) was examined in skeletal muscles of fore and hind limb as well as in oral and cranio-facial regions of thedegenerating muscle(dmu) mouse, which harbours a null mutation in the voltage-gated sodium channel geneScn8a. In limb, oral and cranio-facial muscles of wild type mice, only a few motor endplates contained CGRP-immunoreactivity. However, many CGRP-immunoreactive motor endplates appeared in the triceps brachii muscle, the biceps brachii muscle, the brachialis muscle, and the gastrocnemius muscle ofdmumice. CGRP-immunoreactive density of motor endplates in the skeletal muscles was also elevated by the mutation. In these muscles, the atrophy of muscle fibers could be detected and the density of cell nuclei in the musculature increased. In the flexor digitorum profundus muscle, the flexor digitorum superficialis muscle, and the soleus muscle as well as in oral and cranio-facial muscles, however, the distribution of CGRP-immunoreactivity was barely affected by the mutation. The morphology of muscle fibers and the distribution of cell nuclei within them were also similar in wild type anddmumice. In the lumbar spinal cord ofdmumice, CGRP-immunoreactive density of spinal motoneurons increased. These findings suggest that the atrophic degeneration in some fore and hind limb muscles ofdmumice may increase CGRP expression in their motoneurons.
