Journal ArticleDOI
Disturbance of nuclear and cytoplasmic TAR DNA-binding protein (TDP-43) induces disease-like redistribution, sequestration, and aggregate formation.
Matthew J. Winton,Lionel M. Igaz,Margaret M. Wong,Linda K. Kwong,John Q. Trojanowski,Virginia M.-Y. Lee +5 more
TL;DR: FTLD-U/ALS pathogenesis may be linked mechanistically to deleterious perturbations of nuclear trafficking and solubility of TDP-43, as well as to mutants with defective nuclear localization or nuclear export signals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dysregulation of the ALS-associated gene TDP-43 leads to neuronal death and degeneration in mice
Lionel M. Igaz,Linda K. Kwong,Edward B. Lee,Alice Chen-Plotkin,Eric Swanson,Travis L. Unger,Joe Malunda,Yan Xu,Matthew J. Winton,John Q. Trojanowski,Virginia M.-Y. Lee +10 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that perturbation of endogenous nuclear TDP-43 results in loss of normal T DP-43 function(s) and gene regulatory pathways, culminating in degeneration of selectively vulnerable affected neurons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Expression of TDP-43 C-terminal Fragments in Vitro Recapitulates Pathological Features of TDP-43 Proteinopathies.
Lionel M. Igaz,Linda K. Kwong,Alice Chen-Plotkin,Matthew J. Winton,Travis L. Unger,Yan Xu,Manuela Neumann,John Q. Trojanowski,Virginia M.-Y. Lee +8 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that the generation of TDP-43 CTFs is an important step in the pathogenesis of FTLD-U and ALS is supported and the specific cleavage site(s) are identified, Arg208, of a pathological TTP purified from FT LD-U brains and expression recapitulates key biochemical features of pathological T DP-43 proteinopathy are shown.
Journal ArticleDOI
TDP-43 mediates degeneration in a novel Drosophila model of disease caused by mutations in VCP/p97
Gillian P. Ritson,S. K. Custer,Brian D. Freibaum,Jake B. Guinto,D. Geffel,Jennifer Moore,W. Tang,Matthew J. Winton,Manuela Neumann,John Q. Trojanowski,Virginia M.-Y. Lee,Mark S. Forman,J. P. Taylor +12 more
TL;DR: Results show that degeneration associated with VCP mutations is mediated in part by toxic gain of function of TDP-43 in the cytoplasm, which is likely relevant to the pathogenic mechanism of a broad array of T DP-43 proteinopathies, including frontotemporal lobar degeneration and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of Rho Antagonist to Neuronal Cell Bodies Promotes Neurite Growth in Compartmented Cultures and Regeneration of Retinal Ganglion Cell Axons in the Optic Nerve of Adult Rats
Johanne Bertrand,Matthew J. Winton,Nieves Rodriguez-Hernandez,Robert B. Campenot,Lisa McKerracher +4 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that application of a Rho antagonist at the cell body is neuroprotective and overcomes growth inhibition but does not fully prime RGCs for active growth.
