چکیده انگلیسی
To assess the effect of potential therapeutic agents in dystrophic mice it is useful to have a functional test regime that does not affect the natural disease progression of mdx mice with dystrophinopathy. We determined the effect of a 12 week test regime consisting of fore limb grip strength, rotarod analysis and two and four limb hanging wire tests on the disease progression of 4-week-old mdx mice. Mice performed the different functional tests on consecutive days on a weekly basis. No difference was found in serum creatine kinase levels between functionally active and sedentary mice. The percentage of fibrotic/necrotic areas assessed in a semi-automated way with colour deconvolution of skeletal muscles, heart and diaphragm did not vary within muscles or between groups, nor did the gene expression levels of disease-related genes. We conclude that this test regime may be suitable for short-term functional evaluation of therapeutic approaches in the mdx mouse.
