Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Muscle damage in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) caused by the lack of dystrophin is strongly linked to inflammation. Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1; Hmox1) is an anti-inflammatory and cytoprotective enzyme affecting myoblast differentiation by inhibiting myomiRs. The role of HO-1 has not been so far well addressed in DMD. RESULTS: In dystrophin-deficient mdx mice, expression of Hmox1 in limb skeletal muscles and...
