Transcript
C. elegans model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy:
analysis of muscle structure (optic microscopy)
active molecule
phalloidin staining:
visualization of actine fibers
WT
dys-1-; CeMyoDts
dys-1-; CeMyoDts
+ prednisone
(0.5 mg/ml / steroid)
Identification of prednisone from a test screen of 100 molecules (reduces muscle degeneration)
Prednisone is used as a treatment for DMD boys
Identification of this molecule in the C. elegans model in a blind screen indicates that
this model can be used for the search of active molecules
