Project description:Early molecular events related to cytoskeleton are poorly described in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), especially in the Schwann cell (SC), which offers strong trophic support to motor neurons. DAVID tool identified cytoskeleton-related genes by employing the Cellular Component of Gene Ontology (CCO) in a large gene profiling of lumbar spinal cord and sciatic nerve of presymptomatic SOD1G93A mice. One and five CCO terms related to cytoskeleton were described from the spinal cord deregulated genes of 40 days (actin cytoskeleton) and 80 days (microtubule cytoskeleton, cytoskeleton part, actin cytoskeleton, neurofilament cytoskeleton and cytoskeleton) old transgene mice, respectively. Also, four terms were depicted from the deregulated genes of sciatic nerve of 60 days old transgenes (actin cytoskeleton, cytoskeleton part, microtubule cytoskeleton and cytoskeleton). Kif1b was the unique gene that appeared deregulated in more than one studied region or presymptomatic age. The expression of Kif1b (qPCR) elevated in the lumbar spinal cord (40 days old) and decreased in the sciatic nerve (60 days old) of presymptomatic ALS mice, results that were in line to microarray findings. Upregulation (24.8 fold) of Kif1b was seen in laser microdissected enriched immunolabeled motor neurons from the spinal cord of 40 days old presymptomatic SOD1G93A mice. Furthermore, Kif1b was downregulated in the sciatic nerve Schwann cells of presymptomatic ALS mice (60 days old) that were enriched by means of cell microdissection (6.35 fold), cell sorting (3.53 fold) and primary culture (2.70 fold) technologies. The gene regulation of cytoskeleton molecules is an important occurrence in motor neurons and Schwann cells in presymptomatic stages of ALS and may be relevant in the dying back mechanisms of neuronal death. Differential regulation of Kif1b in the spinal cord and sciatic nerve cells emerged as key event in ALS. Sciatic nerve from SOD1G93A and Non transgenic controls from 60 days were used in the experiments. 4 biological replicates were used. A reference sample, comprised by RNA from different neonatal organs (heart, liver, kidney) were used in the hybridations

Project description:The transgenic mice expressing the human mutated form (G93A) of the SOD1 gene represent a valuable model of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). SOD1 is one of the main causative genes of familial ALS which accounts for 10% of cases. These transgenic animals develop a motorneuronal pathology that recapitulates well the neuropathological features occuring in ALS patients, and the progression of the disease can be monitored by a series of motor tests. Gastrocnemius is the first and most affected muscle in the disease, while triceps is relatively spared. Gene expression data of degenerating motor neurons at different disease stages are already available, while gene expression data on the muscle tissue are missing. Our aim is to define the role of muscle in motor neuron degeneration in ALS. Keywords: Single stage analysis (presymptomatic stage, 7 week-old mice) We considered two sets of muscle at presymptomatic stage (7 weeks): gastrocnemius and triceps from 4 transgenic SOD1G93A and 4 non-transgenic mice (NTg).

Project description:Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal adult-onset neuromuscular disorder characterized by the selective degeneration of upper and lower motor neurons, progressive muscle wasting and paralysis. To define the full set of alterations in gene expression in skeletal muscle during the course of the disease, we performed high-density oligonucleotide microarray analysis of gene expression in hind limb skeletal muscles of sod1(G86R) mice, one of the existing transgenic models of ALS. To monitor denervation-dependent gene expression, we determined the effects of short-term acute denervation on the muscle transcriptome after sciatic nerve axotomy.

Project description:Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a multifactorial and complex fatal degenerative disorder. Both patients and animal models have significant dysregulation in metabolism that can be associated with body weight loss and hypermetabolism. A higher body mass index appears to have protective effects on the disease, but the role of adipose tissue is still not well understood. In this work we have proposed the following objectives: a) determine the effects that the SOD1G93A mutation has on adipose tissue b) study how an increase in body mass through a genetic deficiency in leptin impacts in the adipose tissue of mice SOD1G93A.

Project description:Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and primary lateral sclerosis are two syndromic variants within the motor neurone disease spectrum. Whilst primary lateral sclerosis is associated with loss of upper motor neurons and a more benign disease course up to 17yrs, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is caused by loss of both upper and lower motor neurons and has an average disease course of 2-3 years. The majority of cases are sporadic, thereby limiting the availability of cellular models for investigating pathogenic disease mechanisms. The aim of the present study was to evaluate fibroblasts as a cellular model for sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and primary lateral sclerosis, to establish whether disease-related dysregulated biological processes recapitulate those seen in the central nervous system and to elucidate pathways that distinguish between the two disease phenotypes. We used microarray analysis to determine the differences in gene expression between fibroblasts derived from skin biopsies taken from sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and primary lateral sclerosis neurologically normal human controls
