Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is the most common adult motor neuron disease. Currently there is only one modestly beneficial pharmacological treatment, Riluzole, approved by the FDA. It has been documented that polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) concentrations can affect the progression of neurodegenerative conditions however most interventions rely on nutritional supplementation and have limited long-term effectiveness.

Resumen
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterised by the selective death of motor neurons. Mutations in the SOD1 gene lead to protein misfolding and cause a dominant familial form of ALS (fALS). The accumulation of misfolded proteins in proteinaceous inclusions is a prominent pathological feature in ALS and other related neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, Huntington’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. The degradation of misfolded proteins by the proteasome involves the cooperation of molecular chaperones and ubiquitin chain recognition

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) are clinically distinct neurodegenerative diseases that are connected by genetic and pathological overlap. ALS patients present with muscle weakness and spasticity associated with degeneration of motor neurons in the motor cortex, brainstem, and spinal cord that ultimately leads to death. In contrast, patients with FTLD display cognitive dysfunction associated with degeneration of neurons in the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain.

Resumen
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a relentlessly progressive and fatal neuromuscular disease with no effective biomarkers, treatments or cure. In the early stages of ALS, it can be difficult to provide a diagnosis as patients do not meet diagnostic criteria until they become symptomatic, a sign of neuron degeneration. Early detection is therefore crucial to provide access to therapeutics prior to significant neuron loss. Extracellular vesicles are an ideal source of biomarkers as they contain a mix of proteins and nucleic acids reflective of the physiological state and are released from all cel

Resumen
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease affecting motor neurons causing a progressive fatal loss of motor function. Superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) was the first gene in which mutations were found to be causative in some familial ALS cases. To date, more than 140 genetic variants, with good evidence for pathogenicity in around 30 of these, have been identified in SOD1 to be causative in ALS. Although we now know that mutations in SOD1 cause the protein to acquire some unknown toxic function(s), the mechanism that leads to disease is unknown. The work presented in this

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease is a fatal neurodegenerative disease. ALS is typically adult onset and is characterized by rapidly progressive loss of both upper and lower motor neurons that leads to death usually within 3-5 years. About 90% of all the cases are sporadic with no family history while the remaining 10% are familial cases with mutations in several genes including SOD1, FUS/TLS, TDP43 and C9ORF72.

Neurodegeneration describes the progressive loss of structure and function of neurons, leading ultimately to cell and organism death. Although the initiating factors of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Huntington’s, and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis may be different, they share common pathophysiologies. Proteinopathies, as these diseases are now termed, are characterized by atypical deposits of proteins, often due to misfolding. Associated with these deposits are dysfunctional mitochondria, oxidative stress, disrupted axonal transport, inflammation, and apoptotic ce

Resumen
Among the disciplines of medicine, the study of neurological disorders such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is particularly challenging. In ALS, both cortical and spinal motor neurons progressively degenerate, leading to paralysis and death. The fundamental inaccessibility and the postmitotic state of these cells prevent their isolation and culture for studies of degenerative mechanisms or for drug screening efforts. The studies presented here support the premise that human motor neurons (MNs) generated by directed differentiation of induced pluripotent (iPS) or embryonic stem cells (ES

Resumen
The causes of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), a fatal neurodegenerative disease that results in skeletal muscle paralysis, remain unclear. However, a nuclear DNA and RNA binding protein called TAR DNA binding protein 43 (TDP-43) has emerged as a critical marker of ALS pathology. A previous drug screen conducted in the Zarnescu laboratory showed that anti-diabetic drugs can rescue lethality in a fruit fly model of ALS based on TDP-43. These results suggested that the insulin signaling pathway might be altered in motor neurons in a TDP-43 dependent manner. Therefore, we hypothesized that th

Background: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a late-onset progressive neurodegenerative disorder. ALS has been traditionally believed to be primarily a motor neuron disease. However, accumulating data indicate that loss of contact between the axons and the muscle fibres occurs early; long before the death of motor neurons and that muscle fibres may initiate motor neuron degeneration. Thus, the view of ALS is changing focus from motor neurons alone to also include the muscle fibres and the neuromuscular junctions (NMJs).

Resumen
La sclerosi Laterale Amiotrofica (SLA) e l'Atrofia Muscolare Spinale (SMA) sono malattie neurodegenerative caratterizzate dalla perdita progressiva dei motoneuroni. La SMA è generalmente causata da delezione in omozigosi o mutazione del gene SMN, che codifica per una proteina ubiquitaria e multifunzionale, altamente espressa nel midollo spinale. La SLA è una malattia che può essere familiare o sporadica.Il 20% dei casi familiari è causato da una mutazione dominante nel gene SOD1. Inoltre ci sono altri geni coinvolti in questa malattia, tra cui FUS e TDP43. Lo scopo principale della tesi è

Resumen
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease characterized by loss of motor neurons, resulting in progressive muscle weakness, atrophy, paralysis and death within five years of diagnosis. About ten percent of cases are inherited, of which twenty percent are due to mutations in the superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) gene. Since the only FDA approved ALS drug prolongs survival by just a few months, new therapies for this disease are needed. Experiments in transgenic ALS mouse models have shown that decreasing levels of mutant SOD1 protein alters and in some cases entirely

Resumen
By 2040, the World Health Organization expects neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and Parkinson’s disease, to surpass cancer as the second most common cause of death worldwide. Currently, only treatments for symptoms of these diseases are available. Thus, research is critical to alleviate this public health burden by elucidating the pathogenic processes and developing novel therapies. While exact mechanisms by which these heterogeneous neuropathological conditions become manifest in patients remain unclear, growing evidence suggests th

Resumen
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease characterized by motor neuron death and subsequent muscle atrophy. Approximately 15% of ALS cases are inheritable, and mutations in the Fused in Sarcoma (FUS) gene contribute to approximately 5% of these cases, as well as about 2% of sporadic cases. FUS performs a diverse set of cellular functions, including being a major regulator of RNA metabolism. FUS undergoes liquid- liquid phase transition in vitro, allowing for its participation in stress granules and RNA transport granules. Phase transition also contributes to the

Resumen
La Sclérose Latérale Amyotrophique (SLA) est une maladie dégénérative des neurones moteurs. Sa signature est la présence d’inclusions cytoplasmiques ubiquitinées (synonyme de protéostasie défaillante) majoritairement positives pour TDP-43, une protéine de liaison aux ARNs. Les altérations de l’autophagie et du métabolisme des ARNs sont particulièrement étudiées dans la SLA. Cette thèse explore le rôle de TDP-43 dans la régulation de l’autophagie et particulièrement sur les récepteurs de l’autophagie p62 et OPTN ainsi que leur kinase activatrice TBK1.

Resumen
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is an adult-onset progressive neurodegenerative disease that causes degeneration in both upper and lower motor neurons. ALS progresses relentlessly after the onset of the disease, with most patients die within 3-5 years of diagnosis, largely due to respiratory failure. Since SOD1 became the first gene whose mutations were associated with ALS in 1993, more than 17 ALS causative genes have been identified. Among them, TAR DNA-binding protein (TARDBP) lies in the central of ALS pathology mechanism study, because TDP43 proteinopathy is observed not only in famil

Resumen
La sclérose latérale amyotrophique (SLA) est une maladie neurodégénérative d’évolution toujours fatale. Dans les formes sporadiques (SLAS), l’étiologie demeure inconnue et l’hypothèse d’une participation génétique dans le cadre d’un modèle de maladie complexe est envisagée. Notre travail porte sur deux gènes de susceptibilité dans la SLAS : le gène de l’Apolipoprotéine E (APOE) et le gène impliqué dans l’hémochromatose familiale de type 1 (HFE). Notre première étude confirme sur une population de 1482 patients atteints de SLA sporadique le lien entre allèle ε4 et la forme bulbaire de la maladi

Resumen
Mutations in profilin 1 (PFN1) cause amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a fatal neurodegenerative disease that targets motor neurons. PFN1 is a 15 kDa protein that is best known for its role in actin dynamics. However, little is known about the pathological mechanisms of PFN1 in ALS. In this dissertation, it is demonstrated that certain familial ALS-linked mutations severely destabilize the native conformation of PFN1 in vitro and cause accelerated turnover of the PFN1 protein in neuronal cells. This mutation-induced destabilization can account for the high propensity of ALS-linked variants

Resumen
Mutations in the SOD1 gene are the best characterized genetic cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and account for ~20% of inherited cases and 1-3% of sporadic cases. The gene-editing tool Cas9 can silence mutant genes that cause disease, but effective delivery of CRISPR-Cas9 to the central nervous system (CNS) remains challenging. Here, I developed strategies using canonical Streptococcus pyogenes Cas9 to silence SOD1. In the first strategy, I demonstrate effectiveness of systemic delivery of guide RNA targeting SOD1 to the CNS in a transgenic mouse model expressing human mutant SOD1

Chronic pain affects 20 % of the global population, causes suffering, is difficult to treat, and constitutes a large economic burden for society. So far, the characterization of molecular mechanisms of chronic pain-like behaviors in animal models has not translated into effective treatments. In this thesis, consisting of five studies, pain patient biofluids were analyzed with modern proteomic methods to identify biomarker candidates that can be used to improve our understanding of the pathophysiology chronic pain and lead to more effective treatments.
