lüll ALS: a disease of motor neurons and their nonneuronal neighbors Boillee S; Vande Velde C; Cleveland DWNeuron 2006[Oct]; 52 (1): 39-59Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a late-onset progressive neurodegenerative disease affecting motor neurons. The etiology of most ALS cases remains unknown, but 2% of instances are due to mutations in Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1). Since sporadic and familial ALS affects the same neurons with similar pathology, it is hoped that therapies effective in mutant SOD1 models will translate to sporadic ALS. Mutant SOD1 induces non-cell-autonomous motor neuron killing by an unknown gain of toxicity. Selective vulnerability of motor neurons likely arises from a combination of several mechanisms, including protein misfolding, mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative damage, defective axonal transport, excitotoxicity, insufficient growth factor signaling, and inflammation. Damage within motor neurons is enhanced by damage incurred by nonneuronal neighboring cells, via an inflammatory response that accelerates disease progression. These findings validate therapeutic approaches aimed at nonneuronal cells.|*Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis/genetics/pathology/therapy[MESH]|Animals[MESH]|Axonal Transport/physiology[MESH]|Cell Death[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Inflammation/etiology/genetics/pathology[MESH]|Mitochondria/pathology/physiology[MESH]|Models, Biological[MESH]|Motor Neurons/*pathology/*physiology[MESH]|Mutation[MESH]|Neuroglia/*pathology/*physiology[MESH]|Superoxide Dismutase-1[MESH]|Superoxide Dismutase/genetics[MESH] |
