miR-23b and miR-218 silencing increase Muscleblind-like expression and alleviate myotonic dystrophy phenotypes in mammalian models
Depletion of the splicing factors MBNL 1 and 2 causes myotonic dystrophy. Here, the authors show that miR-23b and miR-218 target MBNL proteins, and that antagonists to these miRNAs rescue mis-splicing events in myoblasts and boost MBNL expression and rescue pathology in mouse models.
