Dysregulations of Expression of Genes of the Ubiquitin/SUMO Pathways in an In Vitro Model of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Combining Oxidative Stress and SOD1 Gene Mutation

Protein aggregates in affected motor neurons are a hallmark of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), but the molecular pathways leading to their formation remain incompletely understood. Oxidative stress associated with age, the major risk factor in ALS, contributes to this neurodegeneration in ALS....

description Protein aggregates in affected motor neurons are a hallmark of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), but the molecular pathways leading to their formation remain incompletely understood. Oxidative stress associated with age, the major risk factor in ALS, contributes to this neurodegeneration in ALS. We show that several genes coding for enzymes of the ubiquitin and small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO) pathways exhibit altered expression in motor neuronal cells exposed to oxidative stress, such as the CCNF gene mutated in ALS patients. Eleven of these genes were further studied in conditions combining oxidative stress and the expression of an ALS related mutant of the superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) gene. We observed a combined effect of these two environmental and genetic factors on the expression of genes, such as Uhrf2, Rbx1, Kdm2b, Ube2d2, Xaf1, and Senp1. Overall, we identified dysregulations in the expression of enzymes of the ubiquitin and SUMO pathways that may be of interest to better understand the pathophysiology of ALS and to protect motor neurons from oxidative stress and genetic alterations.
