Tween 85 grafted PEIs enhanced delivery of antisense 2′-O-methyl phosphorothioate oligonucleotides in vitro and in dystrophic mdx mice

TL;DR: Tween 85 modified LPEIs provide a promising delivery approach for applications of 2'-OMePS oligonucleotides as therapeutic reagents and the more hydrophobicity and lower PEI content of the polymer microstructure are, the greater are the delivery efficiency and exon-skipping.
Journal ArticleDOI

Current genetic survey and potential gene-targeting therapeutics for neuromuscular diseases

TL;DR: The current development of gene therapy is reviewed and focus on NMDs that are available in published reports, including Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD), X-linked myotubular myopathy (XLMTM), Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), and Limb-girdle muscular dystrophies Type 2C (LGMD2C).

Emotional impact of genetic trials in progressive paediatric disorders: a dose-ranging exon-skipping trial in Duchenne muscular dystrophy

TL;DR: In carefully selected families with low levels of psychosocial stress/distress at trial entry, genetic trials in progressive disorders such as DMD can have a predominantly positive or neutral emotional impact, but negative impact is reported by a minority of families.

Oligonucleotide for the treatment of muscular dystrophy patients

TL;DR: In this paper, an oligonucleotide is used to skip the first and second exons of dystrophin pre-mRNA, where the second exon has at least 50% identity with the first exon.

Dystrophin: The protein product of the duchenne muscular dystrophy locus

TL;DR: The identification of the mdx mouse as an animal model for DMD has important implications with regard to the etiology of the lethal DMD phenotype, and the protein dystrophin is named because of its identification via the isolation of the Duchenne muscular dystrophy locus.

Local Dystrophin Restoration with Antisense Oligonucleotide PRO051

TL;DR: Intramuscular injection of antisense oligonucleotide PRO051 induced dystrophin synthesis in four patients with Duchenne's muscular dystrophy who had suitable mutations, suggesting that further studies might be feasible.
