Abstract Loss of protein folding homeostasis features many the most prevalent neurodegenerative disorders. As coping mechanism to stress within endoplasmic reticulum (ER), unfolded response (UPR) comprises a set signaling mechanisms that initiate gene expression program restore proteostasis, or when is chronic overwhelming promote neuronal death. This fate-defining capacity UPR has been proposed play key role in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). However, several genetic pharmacological...

Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) results from haplo-insufficient activity of porphobilinogen deaminase (PBGD) and is characterized clinically by life-threatening, acute neurovisceral attacks. To date, liver transplantation the only curative option for AIP. The aim present preclinical nonhuman primate study was to determine safety transduction efficacy an adeno-associated viral vector encoding PBGD (recombinant AAV serotype 5-codon-optimized human deaminase, rAAV5-cohPBGD) administered...

The integrated stress response (ISR) regulates translation in to diverse stresses. ISR activation has been documented amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients and ALS experimental models. In models, both stimulation inhibition prevented neurodegeneration; however, which mode of regulation would work is still debated. We previously demonstrated that the modulator ISRIB (Integrated Stress Response InhiBitor, an eIF2B activator) enhances survival neurons expressing neurotoxic allele SOD1...

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to nucleus homeostatic signaling, known as the unfolded protein response (UPR), relies on non-canonical splicing of XBP1 mRNA. The molecular switch that initiates is oligomerization ER stress sensor and UPR endonuclease IRE1α (inositol-requiring enzyme 1 alpha). While can form large clusters have been proposed function processing centers ER, actual oligomeric state active complexes well targeting mechanism recruits oligomers remains unknown. Here, we developed a...

Early life events are associated with the susceptibility to chronic diseases in adult life. Perturbations of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) homeostasis activate unfolded protein response (UPR), which contributes development metabolic alterations. Our aim was evaluate liver UPR an animal model intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). A significantly increased expression X-box binding protein-1 spliced (XBP1s) mRNA (p<0.01), Endoplasmic Reticulum-localized DnaJ homologue (Erdj4) (p<0.05) and...

Abstract The innate immune system provides a primary line of defense against pathogens. Stimulator IFN genes (STING), encoded by the TMEM173 gene, is critical protein involved in IFN-β induction response to infection different In this study, we describe expression three alternative-spliced human (h) mRNAs producing STING truncated isoforms 1, 2, and 3 addition full-length wild-type (wt) hSTING. All lack exon 7 share N-terminal transmembrane region with wt Overexpression failed induce IFN-β,...

Tight control of transgene expression is key to ensure the efficacy a wide range gene therapy interventions, in which magnitude and duration have be adjusted therapeutic needs, thereby limiting secondary effects. The development upgraded strategies link pathological stress episodes an unmet need therapy. Here, we propose strategy that associates intracellular coping mechanism, unfolded protein response. Specifically, harnessed cis elements required sustain noncanonical splicing X-box binding...
