Abstract

Skeletal myoblasts cloned from limb muscles of H-2Kb-tsA58 transgenic mice remained proliferative through at least 80 generations under conditions permissive for expression and function of the tsA58 gene product. When switched to nonpermissive conditions or implanted into muscles of nude mdx mice they underwent differentiation but, in one clonal cell line, a small proportion appeared to become quiescent muscle precursors in vivo. H-2Kb -tsA58 × mdx/mdx F1 male mice yielded dystrophin-deficient myoblasts. By such simple genetic crosses, H-2Kb -tsA58 transgenic mice provide a valuable tool for the rapid isolation of cell lines, myogenic or otherwise, bearing mutations of interest.

    Figure 1B shows that most of the dystrophin structures encoded by the distal third of the DMD gene are essential for assembly of the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex and contain important domains such as the coiled-coil domains that interact with dystrobrevin, the syntrophin binding domain, the WW domain, the ZZ domain, and the EF-hands for the direct stabilization of β-dystroglycan within the sarcolemma.15 H2K mdx myogenic cells16 were transfected with peptide-conjugated PMOs (PPMOs) at an equal oligomer ratio for preparations to skip exons 23+58+59 or exons 23+70, and the ratio of compounds to skip exons 23+56+57 was 5:4:6. The PMO sequences are shown in Table S2 and were chosen after in vitro screening outlined in Table S3 and Figure S1.
