CA 2216611

Mouse and human utrophin gene promoters are provided. The promoters or fragments and derivatives may be used to control transcription of heterologous sequences, including coding sequences of reporter genes. Expression systems such as host cells containing nucleic acid constructs which comprise a promoter as provided operably linked to a heterologous sequence may be used to screen substances for ability to modulate activity of the utrophin promoter. Substances with such ability may be manufactured and/or used in the preparation of compositions such as medicaments. Up-regulation of utrophin expression may compensate for dystrophin loss in muscular dystrophy patients.

L'invention porte sur des promoteurs de gènes humains et murins de l'utrophine. Ces promoteurs ou leurs fragments ou dérivés peuvent servir à commander la transcription de séquences hétérologues y compris les séquences de codage de gènes marqueurs. Des systèmes d'expression tels que des produits d'assemblage d'acides nucléiques contenant des cellules hôtes comprenant un promoteur fonctionnellement lié à une séquence hétérologue peuvent servir à filtrer des substances en fonction de leur capacité à moduler l'activité du promoteur de l'utrophine. De telles substances peuvent être produites et/ou utilisées pour préparer des compositions telles que des médicaments. L'accroissement contrôlé de l'expression de l'utrophine peut compenser les pertes de dystrophyne chez les patients atteints de dystrophie musculaire.
