TDP-43 (TAR DNA-binding protein 43) aggregation and redistribution are recognised as a hallmark of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia. As TDP-43 inclusions have recently been described in the muscle of inclusion body myositis patients, this highlights the need to understand the role of TDP-43 beyond the central nervous system.

To determine whether the insulin/IGF-1 signaling also modulates the aggregation of TDP-43 in a mammalian system, we used the aforementioned cell-based model of TDP-43 aggregation. Human HEK293T cells were transiently transfected with Myc-tagged human TDP-43 carrying Q331K, a mutation linked to familial ALS, with or without an small hairpin RNA (shRNA)

2022. 9. 6. · Dysfunction and aggregation of the RNA-binding protein, TDP-43, is the unifying hallmark of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Mechanisms and relative contributions of concurrent TDP-43 nuclear depletion, cytoplasmic accumulation, and post-translational modification to neurodegeneration remain unresolved.
