Abstract

Abstract: Some cases of autosomal dominant familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FALS) are associated with mutations in the gene encoding Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1), suggesting that oxidative damage may play a role in ALS pathogenesis. To further investigate the biochemical features of FALS and sporadic ALS (SALS), we examined markers of oxidative damage to protein, lipids, and DNA in motor cortex (Brodmann area 4), parietal cortex (Brodmann area 40), and cerebellum from control subjects, FALS patients with and without known SOD mutations, SALS patients, and disease controls (Pick's disease, progressive supranuclear palsy, diffuse Lewy body disease). Protein carbonyl and nuclear DNA 8‐hydroxy‐2′‐deoxyguanosine (OH 8 dG) levels were increased in SALS motor cortex but not in FALS patients. Malondialdehyde levels showed no significant changes. Immunohistochemical studies showed increased neuronal staining for hemeoxygenase‐1, malondialdehyde‐modified protein, and OH 8 dG in both SALS and FALS spinal cord. These studies therefore provide further evidence that oxidative damage may play a role in the pathogenesis of neuronal degeneration in both SALS and FALS.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
