Effective rescue of dystrophin improves cardiac function in dystrophin-deficient mice by a modified morpholino oligomer
19 Sept 2008
Abstract excerpt
Antisense oligonucleotide-mediated exon skipping is able to correct out-of-frame mutations in Duchenne muscular dystrophy and restore truncated yet functional dystrophins. However, its application is limited by low potency and inefficiency in systemic delivery, especially failure to restore dystrophin in heart. Here, we conjugate a phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomer with a designed cell-penetrating peptide...
