The administration of antisense oligonucleotide golodirsen reduces pathological regeneration in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy

Acta Neuropathologica Communications, 2021
During the last decade, multiple clinical trials for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) have focused on the induction of dystrophin expression using different strategies.

Low dystrophin variability between muscles and stable expression over time in Becker muscular dystrophy using capillary Western immunoassay

Scientific Reports, 2021
Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) is the milder allelic variant of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, with higher dystrophin levels. To anticipate on results of interventions targeting dystrophin expression it is important to know the natural variation of ...

Pathological evaluation of rats carrying in-frame mutations in the dystrophin gene: a new model of Becker muscular dystrophy

Disease Models & Mechanisms, 2020
Dystrophin, encoded by the DMD gene on the X chromosome, stabilizes the sarcolemma by linking the actin cytoskeleton with the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex (DGC).

Blastocyst injection of wild type embryonic stem cells induces global corrections in mdx mice. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2009
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an incurable neuromuscular degenerative disease, caused by a mutation in the dystrophin gene. Mdx mice recapitulate DMD features.

Function and Genetics of Dystrophin and Dystrophin-Related Proteins in Muscle [PDF]

Physiological Reviews, 2002
The X-linked muscle-wasting disease Duchenne muscular dystrophy is caused by mutations in the gene encoding dystrophin. There is currently no effective treatment for the disease; however, the complex molecular pathology of this disorder is now being unravelled.

Dystrophin gene expression and intracellular calcium changes in the giant freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii, in response to white spot symptom disease infection

Heliyon, 2017
Background: Dystrophin, an essential protein functional in the maintenance of muscle structural integrity is known to be responsible for muscle deterioration during white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) infection among prawn species.

Perspective: Spectrin-Like Repeats in Dystrophin Have Unique Binding Preferences for Syntrophin Adaptors That Explain the Mystery of How nNOSμ Localizes to the Sarcolemma

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
Dystrophin is a massive multi-domain protein composed of specialized amino and carboxyl termini that are separated by 24 spectrin-like repeats. Dystrophin performs critical structural and signaling roles that are indispensable for the functional ...

Identification of new dystroglycan complexes in skeletal muscle. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The dystroglycan complex contains the transmembrane protein β-dystroglycan and its interacting extracellular mucin-like protein α-dystroglycan. In skeletal muscle fibers, the dystroglycan complex plays an important structural role by linking the ...

Systemic PPMO-mediated dystrophin expression in the Dup2 mouse model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy

Molecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2022
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a devastating muscle-wasting disease that arises due to the loss of dystrophin expression, leading to progressive loss of motor and cardiorespiratory function.

Current knowledge of dystrophin and dystrophin-associated proteins in the retina.

Histology and histopathology, 2000
Dramatical development of molecular genetics has been disclosing the molecular mechanism of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD). DMD gene product, dystrophin, is a submembranous cytoskeletal protein and many dystrophin-associated proteins (DAPs) have been identified, such as utrophin, dystroglycans, sarcoglycans ...
