The microRNA miR‐133b functions to slow Duchenne muscular dystrophy pathogenesis
29 Sept 2020
Abstract excerpt
KEY POINTS: Impairment of muscle biogenesis contributes to the progression of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). As a muscle enriched microRNA that has been implicated in muscle biogenesis, the role of miR-133b in DMD remains unknown. To assess miR-133b function in DMD-affected skeletal muscles, we genetically ablated miR-133b in the mdx mouse model of DMD. We show that deletion of miR-133b exacerbates the...
