However, cardiotoxicity has emerged as a serious concern in clinical trials for Duchenne muscular dystrophy and X-linked myotubular myopathy. While this may be caused by systemic inflammatory effects of the treatment, high transgene expression in the heart may also play a role. Thus, certain muscle disorders may require a modulated level of therapeutic expression in the heart, while others may not require any cardiac expression at all. Additionally, the size of some cargos requires regulatory cassettes to be small enough that large cDNAs and other therapeutic payloads can be accommodated. Thus, we have performed enhancer\/promoter optimization to develop highly minimized regulatory cassettes that are active in skeletal muscles, with either low or no detectable activity in cardiac muscle. Our No-heart (NH) cassette is active in most skeletal muscles, but exhibits only very low activity in extensor digitorum longus (EDL), soleus, and diaphragm, and no activity in the heart. By contrast, our Have a Little Heart (HLH) cassette displays high activity in most skeletal muscles, comparable to the \u223c800-bp CK8 cassette, with increased activity in EDL, soleus, and diaphragm, and low activity in the heart. Due to their small size, these cassettes can be used in therapeutic strategies with both flexible (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">e.g.,<\/jats:italic>\n                    antisense) and stringent (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">e.g.,<\/jats:italic>\n                    CRISPR\/Cas or bicistronic) size limitations. Thus, our new cassettes may be useful for gene therapies of muscle disorders in which the need for low or almost no expression in cardiac muscle would outweigh the need for high levels of therapeutic product in certain skeletal muscles.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1089\/hum.2024.041","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,6]],"date-time":"2024-07-06T06:13:38Z","timestamp":1720246418000},"page":"543-554","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Have a Little Heart (or Not): Highly Minimized Skeletal Muscle Regulatory Cassettes with Low or No Activity in the Heart"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"35","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-4161-422X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Charis L.","family":"Himeda","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The Department of Pharmacology, University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine, Reno, Nevada, USA."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Takako I.","family":"Jones","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Department of Pharmacology, University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine, Reno, Nevada, USA."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peter L.","family":"Jones","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Department of Pharmacology, University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine, Reno, Nevada, USA."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_6_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ymthe.2005.09.017"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/CIRCULATIONAHA.113.001340"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/hum.2020.29133.bfs"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/hum.2021.29182.bfs"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1474-4422(23)00313-7"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fphar.2022.950651"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.omtm.2020.12.001"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.mt.6300027"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-1-61737-982-6_1"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/scitranslmed.aan8081"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ymthe.2019.01.002"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.omtm.2020.09.016"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ymthe.2020.11.003"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/sciadv.abg4910"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ymthe.2022.02.003"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_17_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/scitranslmed.abo1815"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_18_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa2307798"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_19_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1074\/jbc.M308194200"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_20_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1006\/mthe.2000.0089"},{"issue":"5","key":"e_1_3_6_21_2","first-page":"2753","article-title":"Multiple regulatory elements contribute differentially to muscle creatine kinase enhancer activity in skeletal and cardiac muscle","volume":"13","author":"Amacher SL","year":"1993","unstructured":"Amacher SL, , Buskin JN, , Hauschka SD.
