The disclosure relates to methods and compositions including p38 kinase inhibitors and agents that regulate expression of DUX4 and downstream genes including but not restricted to ZSCAN4, LEUTX, PRAMEF2, TRIM43, MBD3L2, KHDC1L, RFPL2, CCNA1, SLC34A2, TPRX1, PRAMEF20, TRIM49, PRAMEF4, PRAME6, PRAMEF15, or ZNF280A. Methods useful for treating a disease associated with abnormal DUX4 and downstream gene expression (e.g., Fascioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy) are disclosed.
本发明公开了包括 p38 激酶抑制剂和调节 DUX4 及下游基因(包括但不限于 ZSCAN4、LEUTX、PRAMEF2、TRIM43、MBD3L2、KHDC1L、RFPL2、CCNA1、SLC34A2、TPRX1、PRAMEF20、TRIM49、PRAMEF4、PRAME6、PRAMEF15 或 ZNF280A)表达的制剂在内的方法和组合物。本研究公开了用于治疗与 DUX4 及下游基因表达异常有关的疾病(如筋膜囊性肌营养不良症)的方法。
