Nine patients with Duchenne or Becker muscular dystrophy were injected via the radialis muscle with a full-length human dystrophin plasmid, either once with 200 or 600 mug of DNA or twice, 2 weeks apart, with 600 mug of DNA. In the biopsies taken 3 weeks after the initial injection, the vector was detected at the injection site in all patients. Immunohistochemistry and nested reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction indicated dystrophin expression in six of nine patients. The level of expression was low (up to 6% weak, but complete sarcolemmal dystrophin staining, and up to 26% partial sarcolemmal labeling). No side effects were observed, nor any cellular or humoral anti-dystrophin responses. These results suggest that exogenous dystrophin expression can be obtained in Duchenne/Becker patients after intramuscular transfer of plasmid, without adverse effects, hence paving the way for future developments in gene therapy of hereditary muscular diseases.
