A recent study from the Glenn Laboratory for the Science of Aging and Department of Biology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, United States of America shows that “Muscle-Specific Sirtuin-1 Gain-of-Function Increases Slow-Twitch Fibers and Ameliorates Pathophysiology in a Mouse Model of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.”
This study was published in the Jul 17 journal PLoS Genetics by Prof Guarente L, Chalkiadaki A and others the Glenn Laboratory for the Science of Aging and Department of Biology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge.
On the foundation of this interesting finding, Dr L Boominathan PhD, Director-cum-chief Scientist of GBMD, reports that: Antagomir-based therapy for Muscle degenerative disease: MiRNA-142 aggravates the Pathophysiology of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy via down regulation of its target gene. This study suggests that miR-142, by decreasing the expression of its target gene, it may aggravate the Pathophysiology of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Together, this study suggests that pharmacological formulations encompassing” Antagomir-142” may be used to treat Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
