Abstract

Duchenne (DMD) and golden retriever (GRMD) muscular dystrophy are caused by genetic mutations in the dystrophin gene and afflict striated muscles. We investigated systemic gene delivery in 4-day-old GRMD dogs given a single intravenous injection of an AAV9 vector (1.5 x 10(14) vector genomes/kg) carrying a human codon-optimized human mini-dystrophin gene under control of the cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter. One of the three treated dogs was euthanized 9 days later due to pre-existing conditions. Scattered mini-dystrophin-positive myofibers were seen by immunofluorescent (IF) staining in numerous muscles. At the end of the 16-week study, the other two dogs showed generalized muscle expression of mini-dystrophin in ~15% to nearly 100% of myofibers. Western blot and vector DNA quantitative PCR results agreed with the IF data. Delayed growth and pelvic limb muscle atrophy and contractures were seen several weeks after vector delivery. T-2 weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at 8 weeks showed increased signal intensity compatible with inflammation in several pelvic limb muscles. This marked early inflammatory response raised concerns regarding methodology. Use of the ubiquitous CMV promoter, extra-high vector dose, and marked expression of a human protein in canine muscles may have contributed to the pathologic changes seen in the pelvic limbs.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
