Aberrant alternative splicing and extracellular matrix gene expression in mouse models of myotonic dystrophy
2010
Myotonic dystrophyis a CUG repeat expansion disease and mice deficient in
MBNL1, an
RNA binding protein, show many characteristics of the disease. Comparison of
gene expression profilesof two mouse models of the disease reveals that CUG repeat expansions have two effects – loss of
Mbnl1function that leads to altered splicing and loss of an as yet unknown function that disrupts
extracellular matrixprotein mRNA regulation.
