Botulinum toxin serotypes A and E (BoNT/A and /E) cleave the carboxy-terminus of synaptosomal associated protein-25 (SNAP-25) removing nine and 26 residues, respectively. To investigate the effect of these lesions of the same target molecule, 11 volunteers were injected with 3 IU of BoNT/A in the extensor digitorum brevis (EDB) muscle of one foot and with 3 IU of BoNT/E in the contralateral one. In addition, seven volunteers were similarly injected with mixtures of BoNT/A + BoNT/E. Compound muscular action potential (CMAP) was measured at different time intervals and the percentage variation of CMAP (%CMAP) was calculated. Unexpectedly, a much faster recovery of %CMAP after BoNT/E injections was observed. Double poisoned EBD muscles recovered similarly to BoNT/E. So, a larger deletion of the SNAP-25 molecule caused by BoNT/E leads to a faster functional recovery.
A型和E型肉毒杆菌毒素(BoNT/A和BoNT/E)分别切割突触小体相关蛋白25(SNAP-25)的羧基末端,去除9个和26个残基。为了研究这些对同一靶分子的损伤的影响,11名志愿者在一只脚的趾短伸肌(EDB)中注射3 IU的BoNT/A,在对侧注射3 IU的BoNT/E。此外,7名志愿者同样注射了BoNT/A + BoNT/E的混合物。在不同时间间隔测量复合肌肉动作电位(CMAP),并计算CMAP的百分比变化(%CMAP)。出乎意料的是,观察到注射BoNT/E后%CMAP的恢复要快得多。双重中毒的EDB肌肉恢复情况与BoNT/E相似。因此,由BoNT/E导致的SNAP-25分子更大的缺失导致功能恢复更快。
