Abstract

To investigate the role of neurofilaments in motor neuron disease caused by superoxide dismutase (SOD1) mutations, transgenic mice expressing a amyotrophic lateral sclerosis-linked SOD1 mutant (SOD1 G37R ) were mated with transgenic mice expressing human neurofilament heavy (NF-H) subunits. Unexpectedly, expression of human NF-H transgenes increased by up to 65%, the mean lifespan of SOD1 G37R mice. Microscopic examination corroborated the protective effect of NF-H protein against SOD1 toxicity. Although massive neurodegeneration occurred in 1-yr-old mice expressing SOD1 G37R alone, spinal root axons and motor neurons were remarkably spared in doubly SOD1 G37R ;NF-H-transgenic littermates.

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.
