Abstract

A growing body of evidence suggests that impaired mitochondrial energy production and increased oxidative radical damage to the mitochondria could be causally involved in motor neuron death in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and in familial ALS associated with mutations of Cu,Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1). For example, morphologically abnormal mitochondria and impaired mitochondrial histoenzymatic respiratory chain activities have been described in motor neurons of patients with sporadic ALS. To investigate further the role of mitochondrial alterations in the pathogenesis of ALS, we studied mitochondria from transgenic mice expressing wild type and G93A mutated hSOD1. We found that a significant proportion of enzymatically active SOD1 was localized in the intermembrane space of mitochondria. Mitochondrial respiration, electron transfer chain, and ATP synthesis were severely defective in G93A mice at the time of onset of the disease. We also found evidence of oxidative damage to mitochondrial proteins and lipids. On the other hand, presymptomatic G93A transgenic mice and mice expressing the wild type form of hSOD1 did not show significant mitochondrial abnormalities. Our findings suggest that G93A-mutated hSOD1 in mitochondria may cause mitochondrial defects, which contribute to precipitating the neurodegenerative process in motor neurons.

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.
