    Objective: To investigate if age influence dystrophin expression for bone marrow cells (BMCs) transplantation in mdx mice. Methods: BMCs of C57BL/6 mice(new born) ,1.2 × 107 cells ,were injected intravenously into mdx mice of 6 weeks and 12 weeks of age, the mice were preconditioned with 8 Gy γ ray . Result: 12 weeks after the transplantation, 16% skeletal muscles fibers of 6 weeks and 7% those of 12 weeks age mdx mice have dystrophin protein expression at the sarcolemma of muscle fibers. RT-PCR and Western blot proved the results. Conclusion: Young mdx mice transplantated with BMCs show better effect than elder one. .. View More»
