Abstract

Significance: Oligodendrocytes have been implicated in disease pathology in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) using transgenic mouse models. To date there is no human coculture system available to investigate oligodendrocyte involvement in motor neuron (MN) death in ALS. Our data highlight that oligodendrocytes derived from patients with familial and sporadic ALS from induced pluripotent stem cells and induced neural progenitor cells play an active role in MN death. Oligodendrocyte toxicity is mediated through soluble factors and cell-to-cell contact, thus identifying multiple mechanisms of action and therapeutic opportunities. Their pathogenic phenotype can be reversed by achieving superoxide dismutase 1 knockdown in early oligodendrocyte progenitors in both familial and sporadic cases, but not chromosome 9 ORF 72 samples. This study provides important insights for patient subgrouping and timelines for therapeutic approaches.

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.
