Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is caused by the loss or mutation of both copies of the survival motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene. The related SMN2 gene is retained, but due to alternative splicing of exon 7, produces insufficient levels of the SMN protein. Here, we systematically characterize the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics properties of the SMN splicing modifier SMN-C1. SMN-C1 is a low-molec...

Spinal muscular atrophy results from diminished levels of survival motor neuron (SMN) protein in spinal motor neurons. Low levels of SMN also occur in models of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) caused by mutant superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) and genetic reduction of SMN levels exacerbates the phenotype of transgenic SOD1(G93A) mice. Here, we demonstrate that SMN protein is significantly reduc...

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is attributed to mutations in the SMN1 gene, leading to loss of spinal cord motor neurons. The neurotropic Sindbis virus vector system was used to investigate a role for the survival motor neuron (SMN) protein in regulating neuronal apoptosis. Here we show that SMN protects primary neurons and differentiated neuron-like stem cells, but not cultured cell lines from ...

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is caused by depletion of the ubiquitously expressed survival motor neuron (SMN) protein, with 1 in 40 Caucasians being heterozygous for a disease allele. SMN is critical for the assembly of numerous ribonucleoprotein complexes, yet it is still unclear how reduced SMN levels affect motor neuron function. Here, we examined the impact of SMN depletion in Caenorhabdit...

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a lethal neuromuscular disease caused by reduced levels of expression of the survival motor neuron (SMN) protein. SMN is part of a macromolecular complex essential for the assembly of the small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs) that carry out pre-mRNA splicing. Although the SMN complex has the potential to control the pathway of snRNP biogenesis, it is not kno...

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neurodegenerative disorder primarily affecting motor neurons. This untreatable disease is caused by the absence of a functional survival of motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene, which leads to a critical reduction in fulllength survival of motor neuron (SMN) protein. The multifunctional SMN protein is important in the biogenesis of small nuclear ribonuclear proteins, pr...

This study aimed to investigate the potency of silymarin (SMN) and melatonin (MEL) on restoring the pancreatic  cells in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Male Wistar rats were divided into five groups, including: control (C), untreated diabetic (D), SMN-treated diabetic (50 mg/kg, orally), MEL-treated diabetic (10 mg/kg, i.p.), and SMN plus MEL-treated diabetic rats. Diabetes was in...

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is caused by mutations of the survival of motor neuron (SMN1) gene and deficiency of full-length SMN protein (FL-SMN). All SMA patients retain one or more copies of the SMN2 gene, but the principal protein product of SMN2 lacks exon 7 (SMNDelta7) and is unable to compensate for a deficiency of FL-SMN. SMN is known to oligomerize and form a multimeric protein comple...

Low levels of the survival motor neuron protein (SMN) cause the disease spinal muscular atrophy. A primary characteristic of this disease is motoneuron dysfunction and paralysis. Understanding why motoneurons are affected by low levels of SMN will lend insight into this disease and to motoneuron biology in general. Motoneurons in zebrafish smn mutants develop abnormally; however, it is unclear ...

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a motor neuron degenerative disease caused by low levels of the survival motor neuron (SMN) protein and is linked to mutations or loss of SMN1 and retention of SMN2. How low levels of SMN cause SMA is unclear. SMN functions in small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP) biogenesis, but recent studies indicate that SMN may also function in axons. We showed previously...
