Function of dystrophin Dp71 isoforms is unknown but seems related to neurite outgrowth and synapse formation. To evaluate Dp71 role in myoneural synapses, we established a coculture model using PC12 cells and L6 myotubes and analyzed expression and localization of Dp71 and related proteins, utrophin and P-dystroglycan, in PC12 cells. Confocal microscopy showed Dp71d isoform in PC12 nuclei, golgi-complex-like and endoplasmic reticulum-like structures, whereas Dp71ab concentrates at neurite tips and cytoplasm, colocalizing with beta-dystroglycan, utrophin, synaptophysin and acetylcholine receptors. Evidences suggest that Dp71ab isoform, unlike Dp71d, may take part in neurite-related processes. This is the first work on Dp and members of Dip-associated protein complex roles in a cell-line based coculturing system, which may be useful in determining Dp71 isoforms associations.
