Endogenous bioluminescent reporters reveal a sustained increase in utrophin gene expression upon EZH2 and ERK1/2 inhibition

With the long-term goal of finding therapeutic options for Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a mouse model enabling simultaneous visualisation of Dmd and Utrn is described and inhibitors of PRC2 and ERK1/2 identified to increase utrophin expression.
