Dlk1-Dio3 cluster miRNAs regulate mitochondrial functions in the dystrophic muscle in Duchenne muscular dystrophy

Abstract excerpt

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a severe muscle disease caused by impaired expression of dystrophin. Whereas mitochondrial dysfunction is thought to play an important role in DMD, the mechanism of this dysfunction remains to be clarified. Here we demonstrate that in DMD and other muscular dystrophies, a large number of Dlk1-Dio3 clustered miRNAs (DD-miRNAs) are coordinately up-regulated in regenerating...
