November 2024 in “Communities in ADDI (University of the Basque Country)” The study on Myotonic Dystrophy type I (DM1) focuses on characterizing cell models and evaluating potential therapies using a cell-based quantification platform. It highlights the roles of DMPK and MBNL1 proteins in DM1 pathology, where misregulation and sequestration lead to disrupted splicing and multisystemic symptoms. The research identifies antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) as promising therapeutic agents, capable of increasing MBNL1 protein levels without affecting DMPK protein levels. The study underscores the importance of robust in vitro models and advanced techniques like digital droplet PCR and In-Cell Western for drug screening and understanding DM1's complex molecular mechanisms.
