Neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, motor neuron disease and Alzheimer’s disease is characterized by loss of specific cells within certain regions of the brain. One of the most compelling questions is to determine why specific cell populations are vulnerable to neurodegeneration. We addressed this question by studying global gene expression changes using an animal model of ...
Deletion of the inflammatory S100-A9/MRP14 protein does not influence survival in hSOD1G93A ALS mice
Neuroinflammation is a hallmark of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) in hSOD1G93A mouse models where microglial cells contribute to the progressive motor neuron degenerative process. S100-A8 and S100-A9 (also known as MRP8 MRP14, respectively) are cytoplasmic proteins expressed by inflammatory myeloid cells, including microglia macrophages. Mainly acting heterodimer, S100-A8/A9, when secreted...
Our understanding of motor neuron biology in humans is derived mainly from investigation of human postmortem tissue and more indirectly from live animal models such as rodents. Thus generation of motor neurons from human embryonic stem cells and human induced pluripotent stem cells is an important new approach to model motor neuron function. To be useful models of human motor neuron function, c...
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a motor neuron disease characterized by progressive distal axonopathy that precedes actual motor neuron death. Triggers for neuromuscular junction degeneration remain to be determined, but the axon repulsion factor semaphorin 3A (Sema3A), which is derived from terminal Schwann cells, is a plausible candidate. This study examines the hypothesis that Sema3A ...
Objective(s): Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs), with suitable and easy access, are multipotential cells that have the ability for differentiation into other mesodermal and transdifferentiate into neural phenotype cells. In this study, Lithium chloride (LiCl) was used for in vitro transdifferentiation of rat ADSCs into neuron-like cells (NLCs).<stro...
genes that control motor neuron induction, subtype identity, and target specificity. Mice were mutagenized with ENU and outcrossed to an HB9-GFP transgenic reporter line that expresses GFP in spinal motor neurons and their axons. Litters were analyzed by fluorescence microscopy for recessive mutations that affect motor neuron induction and motor axon projection pattern. We have screened 137 F1 ...

The therapeutic potential of embryonic stem (ES) cells is promising, but in many cases limited by our inability to promote their differentiation to specific cell types, such as motor neurons. Here we provide the first report of the successful differentiation of human ES cells to cells of a motor neuron phenotype. A renewable source of neuroepithelial cells was generated from human ES cells. Ext...

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an inborn neuromuscular disorder caused by low levels of survival motor neuron protein, and for which no efficient therapy exists. Here, we show that the slower rate of postnatal motor-unit maturation observed in type 2 SMA-like mice is correlated with the motor neuron death. Physical exercise delays motor neuron death and leads to an increase in the postnatal m...
