Abstract |
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a devastating muscle disorder caused by mutations in the DMD gene. Antisense-mediated exon skipping is a promising strategy to treat DMD. The approval of Exondys 51 (eteplirsen) targeting exon 51 was the most noteworthy accomplishment in 2016. To evaluate and optimize the sequence of antisense oligonucleotides (AOs), muscle cell lines with DMD mutations are useful tools. However, there are only several immortalized muscle cell lines with DMD mutations available that can be used to test the efficacy of exon skipping in vitro. In addition, an invasive muscle biopsy is required to obtain muscle cells from patients. Furthermore, many DMD mutations are very rare and it is hard to find a patient with a specific mutation for muscle biopsy in many cases. Here, we describe a novel approach to create an immortalized muscle cell line with a DMD deletion mutation using the human rhabdomyosarcoma (RD) cell line and the CRISPR/Cas9 system that can be used to test the efficacy of exon skipping. |
