Long-Term Rescue of Dystrophin Expression and Improvement in Muscle Pathology and Function in Dystrophic mdx Mice by Peptide-Conjugated Morpholino
Bo Wu,Peijuan Lu,Caryn Cloer,Mona Shaban,Snimar Grewal,Stephanie Milazi,Sapana N. Shah,Hong M. Moulton,Qi Long Lu +8 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated for the first time that regular 1-year administration of peptide-conjugated phosphorodiamidate morpholino can be safely applied to achieve significant therapeutic effects in an animal model and is associated with greatly reduced serum creatine kinase levels, near-normal histology, and functional improvement of skeletal muscle.

Biochemical characterization of patients with in-frame or out-of-frame DMD deletions pertinent to exon 44 or 45 skipping

TL;DR: Exon 44 or 45 skipping will likely yield lower levels of dystrophin than exon 51 skipping, although the resulting protein is functional enough to often maintain a mild BMD phenotype.

Immunohistological intensity measurements as a tool to assess
rechavala-Gomeza,Maria Kinali,Lucy Feng,Stephen C. Brown,Caroline Sewry,Jennifer E. Morgan,Francesco Muntoni +6 more
TL;DR: The authors used immunohistological intensity measurements as a tool to assess sarcolemma-associated protein expression and found that the intensity measurements can be used to assess protein expression in the human brain.

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.

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.

TL;DR: Systemically administered PRO051 showed dose-dependent molecular efficacy in patients with Duchenne's muscular dystrophy, with a modest improvement in the 6-minute walk test after 12 weeks of extended treatment.
