Lateral olfactory tract usher substance (LOTUS), an endogenous Nogo receptor antagonist, ameliorates disease progression in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis model mice

Cell Death Discovery, 2023
Nogo–Nogo receptor 1 (NgR1) signaling is significantly implicated in neurodegeneration in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). We previously showed that lateral olfactory tract usher substance (LOTUS) is an endogenous antagonist of NgR1 that prevents all

R-loop Mediated DNA Damage and Impaired DNA Repair in Spinal Muscular Atrophy

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2022
Defects in DNA repair pathways are a major cause of DNA damage accumulation leading to genomic instability and neurodegeneration. Efficient DNA damage repair is critical to maintain genomicstability and support cell function and viability.

SAM68 is a physiological regulator of SMN2 splicing in spinal muscular atrophy [PDF]

, 2015
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neurodegenerative disease caused by loss of motor neurons in patients with null mutations in the SMN1 gene. The almost identical SMN2 gene is unable to compensate for this deficiency because of the skipping of exon 7 ...

Clinical and molecular features and therapeutic perspectives of spinal muscular atrophy with respiratory distress type 1 [PDF]

, 2015
Spinal muscular atrophy with respiratory distress (SMARD1) is an autosomal recessive neuromuscular disease caused by mutations in the IGHMBP2 gene, encoding the immunoglobulin μ-binding protein 2, leading to motor neuron degeneration.

Abnormal mitochondrial transport and morphology as early pathological changes in human models of spinal muscular atrophy

Disease Models & Mechanisms, 2016
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), characterized by specific degeneration of spinal motor neurons, is caused by mutations in the survival of motor neuron 1, telomeric (SMN1) gene and subsequent decreased levels of functional SMN. How the deficiency of SMN, a

Iron insufficiency compromises motor neurons and their mitochondrial function in Irp2-null mice. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Genetic ablation of Iron Regulatory Protein 2 (Irp2, Ireb2), which post-transcriptionally regulates iron metabolism genes, causes a gait disorder in mice that progresses to hind-limb paralysis.

Altered Metabolic Profiles Associate with Toxicity in SOD1G93A Astrocyte-Neuron Co-Cultures

Scientific Reports, 2017
Non-cell autonomous processes involving astrocytes have been shown to contribute to motor neuron degeneration in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Mutant superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1G93A) expression in astrocytes is selectively toxic to motor neurons in co ...
