Reducing sarcolipin expression mitigates Duchenne muscular dystrophy and associated cardiomyopathy in mice

Sarcolipin is an inhibitor of the ATP dependent calcium pump SERCA, and is abnormally elevated in Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The authors show that reducing sarcolipin expression ameliorates skeletal muscle pathology and cardiomyopathy and extends life span in mouse models of DMD.
