Pro-Inflammatory Cytokines and Antibodies Induce hnRNP A1 Dysfunction in Mouse Primary Cortical Neurons
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory disease of the central nervous system with a significant neurodegenerative component. Dysfunctional RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are causally linked to neuronal damage and are a feature of MS, including the mislocalization of the RBP heterogeneous nuclear ri...

| description | Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory disease of the central nervous system with a significant neurodegenerative component. Dysfunctional RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are causally linked to neuronal damage and are a feature of MS, including the mislocalization of the RBP heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A1 (A1). Here, we show that primary neurons exposed to pro-inflammatory cytokines and anti-A1 antibodies, both characteristic of an MS autoimmune response, displayed increased A1 mislocalization, stress granule formation, and decreased neurite length, a marker of neurodegeneration. These findings illustrate a significant relationship between secreted immune factors, A1 dysfunction, and neuronal damage in a disease-relevant model system. |
