An in silico FSHD muscle fiber for modeling DUX4 dynamics and predicting the impact of therapy
eLife, 2023 Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is an incurable myopathy linked to the over-expression of the myotoxic transcription factor DUX4. Targeting DUX4 is the leading therapeutic approach, however, it is only detectable in 0.1–3.8% of FSHD ...

Journal of Medical Sciences, 2022 CIC-DUX4 sarcoma is highly aggressive and rapidly develops lethal metastatic disease and chemoresistance. Its histology is similar to that of Ewing sarcoma and other small round cell sarcomas. Correlation with clinical data, radiological findings, pathological results (including immunohistochemistry and fluorescence in situ ...

Biology Open, 2022 Abnormal expression in skeletal muscle of the double homeobox transcription factor DUX4 underlies pathogenesis in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD). Though multiple changes are known to be initiated by aberrant DUX4 expression, the downstream

Inactivation of the CIC-DUX4 oncogene through P300/CBP inhibition, a therapeutic approach for CIC-DUX4 sarcoma [PDF]
Oncogenesis, 2021 AbstractCIC-DUX4 sarcoma (CDS) is a highly aggressive and metastatic small round type of predominantly pediatric sarcoma driven by a fusion oncoprotein comprising the transcriptional repressor Capicua (CIC) fused to the C-terminal transcriptional activation domain of DUX4.

Facioscapulohumeral dystrophy: incomplete suppression of a retrotransposed gene. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2010 Each unit of the D4Z4 macrosatellite repeat contains a retrotransposed gene encoding the DUX4 double-homeobox transcription factor. Facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD) is caused by deletion of a subset of the D4Z4 units in the subtelomeric region of ...

DNA-binding sequence specificity of DUX4 [PDF]
Skeletal Muscle, 2015 Misexpression of the double homeodomain transcription factor DUX4 results in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD). A DNA-binding consensus with two tandem TAAT motifs based on chromatin IP peaks has been discovered; however, the consensus has multiple variations (flavors) of unknown relative activity.

Nature Communications, 2021 Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy is a myopathy caused by aberrant de-repression of the DUX4 gene. Here, the authors show that miR-675 inhibits DUX4 expression and protects muscles from DUX4-mediated cell death when administered to mice using AAV ...

DUX4 Signalling in the Pathogenesis of Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020 Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is a disabling inherited muscular disorder characterized by asymmetric, progressive muscle weakness and degeneration. Patients display widely variable disease onset and severity, and sometimes present with extra-muscular symptoms.
