1 Fig. 6. Transgenic expression of αLNNd and mag in dyW/dyW mice improves muscle function, increases body weight, and prolongs life span. Transgenic expression of αLNNd and mag in dyW/dyW mice improves muscle function, increases body weight, and prolongs life span. (A) Picture of a representative dyW/dyW, dyW/dyW DT, and control mouse (8 weeks old). Note that dyW/dyW mice appear small because of the severe kyphosis, and dyW/dyW DT mice are leaner than controls. n = 10 mice per genotype. (B) Quantification of grip strength of 8-week-old mice. Grip strength was measured by hang time on a vertical grid. Test was stopped after 180 s (dotted line). n = 4 mice (dyW/dyW), n = 6 mice (dyW/dyW mag), n = 7 mice (dyW/dyW αLNNd), n = 9 mice (dyW/dyW DT). (C) Peak tetanic force of EDL muscle from 8-week-old mice. n = 9 mice (dyW/dyW), n = 10 mice (dyW/dyW mag), n = 12 mice (dyW/dyW αLNNd), n = 13 mice (dyW/dyW DT), n = 14 mice (control). (D) Peak tetanic force of EDL from 16-week-old mice. n = 4 mice (dyW/dyW αLNNd), n = 5 mice (dyW/dyW mag and control), n = 6 mice (dyW/dyW DT). Data in (B) and (C) are means ± SEM. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001; n.s., P > 0.05 (for exact P values, see table S3), one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni post hoc test. (E) Body weight of 5- to 15-week-old male mice. Mice that died between 5 and 15 weeks of age were excluded from analysis. n = 7 mice (dyW/dyW), n = 6 (dyW/dyW mag and dyW/dyW αLNNd), n = 11 mice (dyW/dyW DT), n = 8 mice (control). Data are means ± SEM. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 (for exact P values, see table S3), two-way ANOVA with Bonferroni post hoc test. (F) Survival curves for dyW/dyW (n = 19), dyW/dyW mag (n = 16), dyW/dyW αLNNd (n = 16), and dyW/dyW DT (n = 17) mice. Marks indicate mice that were still alive at the end of the study. **P < 0.01 (dyW/dyW mag versus dyW/dyW DT), ***P < (dyW/dyW versus dyW/dyW DT or dyW/dyW versus dyW/dyW mag) (for exact P values, see table S3), log-rank test. Controls are wild-type or dyW/+ littermates. Judith R. Reinhard et al., Sci Transl Med 2017;9:eaal4649 Published by AAAS
