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

Genome wide analysis of gene expression changes in skin from patients with type 2 diabetes [PDF]
Non-healing chronic ulcers are a serious complication of diabetes and are a major healthcare problem. While a host of treatments have been explored to heal or prevent these ulcers from forming, these treatments have not been found to be consistently ...

Deregulation of DUX4 and ERG in acute lymphoblastic leukemia [PDF]
Chromosomal rearrangements deregulating hematopoietic transcription factors are common in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).1,2 Here, we show that deregulation of the homeobox transcription factor gene DUX4 and the ETS transcription factor gene ERG are hallmarks of a subtype of B-progenitor ALL that comprises up to 7% of B-ALL.

High PDGFRA expression does not serve as an effective therapeutic target in ERG-deleted b-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia [PDF]
Background: Macrosatellite repeats (MSRs), usually spanning hundreds of kilobases of genomic DNA, comprise a significant proportion of the human genome.

Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy and DUX4: breaking the silence [PDF]
Autosomal dominant facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) has an unusual pathogenic mechanism. FSHD is caused by deletion of a subset of D4Z4 macrosatellite repeat units in the subtelomere of chromosome 4q. Recent studies provide compelling evidence that a retrotransposed gene in the D4Z4 repeat, DUX4, is expressed in the human germline and then

Aberrant expression of the transcription factor DUX4 from D4Z4 macrosatellite repeats on chromosome 4q35, and its transcriptome, associate with pathogenesis in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD).

The prospects of targeting DUX4 in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy
Purpose of reviewFacioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is a neuromuscular disorder, which is caused by incomplete repression of the transcription factor double homeobox 4 (DUX4) in skeletal muscle. To date, there is no DUX4-targeting treatment to prevent or delay disease progression.

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 ...

386. Toxicology for DUX4-Targeted MicroRNAs [PDF]
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is an autosomal dominant disorder affecting 1 in 7500. Symptoms typically arise in young adulthood and most patients show clinical features before age 30. FSHD is characterized by progressive wasting and weakness of facial and shoulder-girdle muscles, though all skeletal muscle can be affected.

DUX4 is a multifunctional factor priming human embryonic genome activation
Summary: Double homeobox 4 (DUX4) is expressed at the early pre-implantation stage in human embryos. Here we show that induced human DUX4 expression substantially alters the chromatin accessibility of non-coding DNA and activates thousands of newly ...
