DUX4-induced bidirectional HSATII satellite repeat transcripts form intranuclear double stranded RNA foci in human cell models of FSHD
2019-08-13
Abstract excerpt
The DUX4 transcription factor is normally expressed in the cleavage stage embryo and regulates genes involved in embryonic genome activation. Mis-expression of DUX4 in skeletal muscle, however, is toxic and causes facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD). We recently showed DUX4-induced toxicity is due, in part, to the activation of the double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) response pathway and the accumulation of intr...
