ALS is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder for which no effective treatment exists. Multiple molecular mechanisms are involved in the pathogenesis. We tested the catalytic antioxidant AEOL 10150, the histone deacetylase inhibitor phenylbutyrate (PBA), and the combination of PBA and AEOL 10150 in the G93A transgenic mouse model, administered from disease onset. AEOL 10150 alone improved motor function and extended survival by 11%, PBA alone significantly improved motor function and extended survival by. 13%. PBA and AEOL 10150 together increased survival by 19%. Increased histone acetylation was confirmed by Western blot. Quantitative real-time RTPCR analysis revealed upregulation of compounds capable of protecting cells against oxidative stress and apoptosis. Markers of oxidative damage were reduced in the lumbar spinal cord as compared to vehicle administration. These results suggest that agents inhibiting apoptosis and blocking oxidative stress show efficacy in treating mutant-SOD1-associated ALS and that a combination of agents targeting different disease mechanisms may exert additive therapeutic effects.
