Table S1. Parallel disruption of triad junctions in aged wt and young mg29(-/-) skeletal muscle
TT swelling | SR fragmentation | Large SR aggregates | |
Young wt hindlimb | 13/483 (n = 8) | 1/315 (n = 6) | 0/5,255 (n = 8) |
Aged EDL | 5/183 (n = 3) | 65/150* (n = 3) | 418/2,771* (n = 3) |
Aged soleus | 77/165* (n = 3) | 68/200* (n = 3) | 0/1,427 (n = 3) |
Young mg29(-/-) hindlimb | 55/73* (n = 2) | Nishi et al., 1999 | 0/2,264 (n = 2) |
Muscle sections were examined by electron or light (for large SR aggregates) microscopy. Hindlimb indicates muscle biopsies containing a mixture of soleus and EDL. Data presented are the total number of positive cells/number of cells examined. *, P < 0.005 versus young wt for percentage values. n, number of mice examined. Nishi, M., S. Komazaki, N.
