最近,C9 ORF 72基因第一内含子中六核苷酸GGGGCC重复序列的扩增与肌萎缩侧索硬化症有关。目前尚不清楚这种突变是否导致功能的获得,功能的丧失,或者这两种机制是否与发病机制有关。我们建立了一个ALS的遗传模型,以探索秀丽隐杆线虫C9 ORF 72直系同源物F18A1.6(也称为alfa-1)无效突变的生物学后果。alfa-1突变体表现出年龄依赖性运动缺陷,导致瘫痪和GABA能运动神经元的特异性变性。α-1突变体对环境应激表现出不同的敏感性,其中渗透应激引起神经变性。最后,我们观察到由α-1丢失引起的运动缺陷与突变TDP-43蛋白引起的毒性是相加的,但不是由突变FUS蛋白引起的。这些数据表明,alfa-1/C9 ORF 72表达的缺失可能导致运动神经元变性,该途径与其他已知ALS基因相关。
An expansion of the hexanucleotide GGGGCC repeat in the first intron of C9ORF72 gene was recently linked to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. It is not known if the mutation results in a gain of function, a loss of function or if, perhaps both mechanisms are linked to pathogenesis. We generated a genetic model of ALS to explore the biological consequences of a null mutation of the Caenorhabditis elegans C9ORF72 orthologue, F18A1.6, also called alfa-1. alfa-1 mutants displayed age-dependent motility defects leading to paralysis and the specific degeneration of GABAergic motor neurons. alfa-1 mutants showed differential susceptibility to environmental stress where osmotic stress provoked neurodegeneration. Finally, we observed that the motor defects caused by loss of alfa-1 were additive with the toxicity caused by mutant TDP-43 proteins, but not by the mutant FUS proteins. These data suggest that a loss of alfa-1/C9ORF72 expression may contribute to motor neuron degeneration in a pathway associated with other known ALS genes.
