Dystrophin mutations predict cellular susceptibility to oxidative stress.

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in the dystrophin gene that lead to the expression of truncated forms of the dystrophin protein cause muscular dystrophies of varying severities both in humans and in mice. We have shown previously that dystrophin-deficient muscle is more susceptible to oxidative injury than is normal muscle. In this report, we have used muscle cells derived from mdx mice, which express no dystrophin, and mdx-transgenic...
