TL;DR: Reprogramming and stem cell differentiation approaches with genome engineering and RNA sequencing are combined to define the transcriptional and functional changes that are induced in human motor neurons by mutant SOD1, indicating that at least a subset of these changes are more broadly conserved in ALS.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Stem Cell-Based Screening Platform Identifies Compounds that Desensitize Motor Neurons to Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress.
Sebastian Thams,Emily Rhodes Lowry,Marie-Hélène Larraufie,Krista Spiller,Hai Li,Damian J. Williams,Phuong T. Hoang,Elise Jiang,Luis A. Williams,Jackson Sandoe,Kevin Eggan,Ivo Lieberam,Kevin C. Kanning,Brent R. Stockwell,Christopher E. Henderson,Hynek Wichterle +15 more
TL;DR: Insight is provided into the mechanisms contributing to the preferential susceptibility of ALS motor neurons, and the utility of stem cell-derived motor neurons for the discovery of new neuroprotective compounds are demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mir-17∼92 Confers Motor Neuron Subtype Differential Resistance to ALS-Associated Degeneration.
Ying-Tsen Tung,Kuan-Chih Peng,Yen-Chung Chen,Ya-Ping Yen,Mien Chang,Sebastian Thams,Jun-An Chen +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that overexpression of mir-17∼92 significantly rescues human SOD1+/L144F MNs, and intrathecal delivery of adeno-associated virus (AAV)9-mir-17 ∼92 improves motor deficits and survival in S OD1G93A mice, and mir- 17∼ 92 may have value as a prognostic marker of MN degeneration and is a candidate therapeutic target in SOD 1-linked ALS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of MAP4 Kinase Inhibitors as Motor Neuron-Protecting Agents.
Pieter H. Bos,Emily Rhodes Lowry,Jonathon Costa,Sebastian Thams,Alejandro Garcia-Diaz,Arie Zask,Hynek Wichterle,Brent R. Stockwell +7 more
TL;DR: Prostetin/12k emerged as an exceptionally potent, metabolically stable, and blood-brain barrier-penetrant compound that is well suited for future testing in animal models of neurodegeneration.
