Repression of nuclear CELF activity can rescue CELF-regulated alternative splicing defects in skeletal muscle models of myotonic dystrophy
24 Feb 2012
Abstract excerpt
Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is caused by the expansion of CUG repeats in the 3' UTR of DMPK transcripts. DM1 pathogenesis has been attributed in part to alternative splicing dysregulation via elevation of CUG-BP, Elav-like family member 1 (CELF1). Several therapeutic approaches have been tested in cells and mice, but no previous studies had specifically targeted CELF1. Here, we show that repressing CELF...
