Disclosed herein are α7β1 integrin modulatory agents and methods of using such to treat conditions associated with decreased α7β1 integrin expression or activity, including muscular dystrophy. In one example, methods for treating a subject with muscular dystrophy are disclosed. The methods include administering an effective amount of an α7β1 integrin modulatory agent to the subject with muscular dystrophy, wherein the α7β1 integrin modulatory agent increases α7β1 integrin expression or activity as compared to α7β1 integrin expression or activity prior to treatment, thereby treating the subject with muscular dystrophy. Also disclosed are methods of enhancing muscle regeneration, repair, or maintenance in a subject and methods of enhancing α7β1 integrin expression by use of the disclosed α7β1 integrin modulatory agents. Methods of prospectively preventing or reducing muscle injury or damage in a subject are also disclosed.
本文公开了α7β1整合素调节剂以及用其治疗与α7β1整合素表达或活性降低有关的疾病(包括肌肉萎缩症)的方法。在一个例子中,公开了治疗肌肉萎缩症患者的方法。该方法包括向肌肉萎缩症患者施用有效量的α7β1整合素调节剂,其中与治疗前的α7β1整合素表达或活性相比,α7β1整合素调节剂可增加α7β1整合素表达或活性,从而治疗肌肉萎缩症患者。还公开了增强受试者肌肉再生、修复或维持的方法,以及通过使用公开的α7β1整合素调节剂增强α7β1整合素表达的方法。还公开了预防或减少受试者肌肉损伤或损害的方法。
