The Cellular Processing Capacity Limits the Amounts of Chimeric U7 snRNA Available for Antisense Delivery.

TL;DR: Although antisense delivery and subsequent exon skipping were improved both in tissue culture and in vivo, the formation of additional U7 snRNA by-products following gene transfer was observed, including aberrantly 3′ processed as well as unprocessed species that may arise because of the saturation of the cellular processing capacity.

Poly(ester amine) Composed of Polyethylenimine and Pluronic Enhance Delivery of Antisense Oligonucleotides In Vitro and in Dystrophic mdx Mice

TL;DR: PEAs improve PMO delivery more effectively than 2′-OMePS delivery in vivo, and the systemic delivery evaluation further highlight the efficiency of PEA for PMO Delivery in all skeletal muscle.

Aminoglycoside Enhances the Delivery of Antisense Morpholino Oligonucleotides In Vitro and in mdx Mice

TL;DR: A few aminoglycosides are investigated for their potential to improve the delivery of antisense phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomer (PMO) both in vitro and in vivo and establish AGs as PMO delivery-enhancing agents for treating muscular dystrophy or other diseases.

Challenges of Interpreting Dystrophin Content by Western Blot

TL;DR: A review of the dystrophin western blot data on Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy biopsies is conducted, along with a thorough investigation of methodologies to quantify dystophin.

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.
