Journal ArticleDOI
SAHA ameliorates the SMA phenotype in two mouse models for spinal muscular atrophy
Markus Riessland,Bastian Ackermann,Anja Förster,Miriam Jakubik,Jan Hauke,Lutz Garbes,Ina Fritzsche,Ylva Mende,Ingmar Blümcke,Eric Hahnen,Brunhilde Wirth +10 more
TL;DR: Treatment with suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA), a FDA-approved histone deacetylase inhibitor, increased lifespan of SMA mice by 30%, significantly improved motor function abilities, reduced degeneration of motor neurons within the spinal cord and increased the size of neuromuscular junctions and muscle fibers compared with vehicle-treated SMA animals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dysregulation of ubiquitin homeostasis and β-catenin signaling promote spinal muscular atrophy

Robinson,Catherina G. Becker,Brunhilde Wirth,Thomas H. Gillingwater +26 more
TL;DR: The data indicate that SMA-associated reduction of UBA1 contributes to neuromuscular pathogenesis through disruption of ubiquitin homeostasis and subsequent β-catenin signaling, highlighting ubiquit in homeostases and β-Catenin as potential therapeutic targets for SMA.
Journal ArticleDOI
PLS3 mutations in X-linked osteoporosis with fractures

TL;DR: Plastin 3 (PLS3), a protein involved in the formation of filamentous actin (F-actin) bundles, appears to be important in human bone health, on the basis of pathogenic variants in PLS3 in five families with X-linked osteoporotic fractures that are reported here.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Clinical trials have revealed that SAHA, which is under investigation for cancer treatment, has a good oral bioavailability and is well tolerated, allowing in vivo concentrations shown to increase SMN levels to be achieved, and may allow deceleration of progressive α‐motoneurone degeneration by epigenetic SMN2 gene activation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The benzamide M344, a novel histone deacetylase inhibitor, significantly increases SMN2 RNA/protein levels in spinal muscular atrophy cells
TL;DR: It is shown that the novel benzamide M344, an HDAC inhibitor, up-regulates SMN2 protein expression in fibroblast cells derived from SMA patients up to 7-fold after 64 h of treatment, which is the strongest in vitro effect of a drug on the SMN protein level reported so far.
