Nusinersen versus Sham Control in Infantile-Onset Spinal Muscular Atrophy

Richard S. Finkel, +397 more
TL;DR: Those who received nusinersen were more likely to be alive and have improvements in motor function than those in the control group and infants with a shorter disease duration at screening wereMore likely than those with a longer disease duration to benefit from nusineren.
Journal ArticleDOI

Induction of Nitric Oxide -- Dependent Apoptosis in Motor Neurons by Zinc-Deficient Superoxide Dismutase

TL;DR: Zinc-deficient SOD may participate in both sporadic and familial ALS by an oxidative mechanism involving nitric oxide, and when replete with zinc, neither ALS-mutant nor wild-type copper, zinc SODs were toxic, and both protected motor neurons from trophic factor withdrawal.
Journal ArticleDOI

Decreased Zinc Affinity of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis-Associated Superoxide Dismutase Mutants Leads to Enhanced Catalysis of Tyrosine Nitration by Peroxynitrite

TL;DR: The toxicity of ALS‐associated SOD mutants may be related to enhanced catalysis of protein nitration subsequent to zinc loss, and by acting as a high‐capacity zinc sink, NF‐L could foster the formation of zinc‐deficient SOD within motor neurons.
Journal ArticleDOI

Myeloperoxidase and Horseradish Peroxidase Catalyze Tyrosine Nitration in Proteins from Nitrite and Hydrogen Peroxide

TL;DR: MPO catalyzedNitration of many proteins in rat heart homogenates using NO2- plus H2O2, suggesting that peroxidase-catalyzed nitration of tyrosine could occur in the presence of competing substrates in vivo.
