Summary of skeletal muscle and cardiac phenotypes of double knockout mice

Skeletal muscle
Protein aggregate myopathy
Submembraneous accumulations localized inside myofibres containing MyHC and parts of sarcomeres
Protein accumulations are not fibre type restricted
Fibre type shift in soleus and EDL (increased slow‐, decreased fast‐twitch fibres)
Centralized nuclei
Decreased maximal force development of soleus and EDL
Increased Myh3 and Myh7 expression
Mass spectrometry:
Increase in degradation associated proteins
Increase in MAPKAPK3
Decrease in mitochondrial proteins
Heart
Increased LVESD, decreased wall thickness
Decreased LVEF and cardiac output
Reduced left ventricular systolic and developing pressure
Decreased cardiac contraction and relaxation velocity
Reduced cardiomyocyte contractility and relaxation velocity
Reduced calcium influx and export velocities
Increased Myh7 expression

EDL, extensor digitorum longus; LVESD, left ventricular ejection fraction; LVEF, left ventricular end‐systolic dimension; MAPKAPK, mitogen‐activated protein kinase‐activated protein kinase; Myh, myosin heavy chain.
