Abstract excerpt
Mutations of the SOD1 gene underlie 1 form of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Their pathogenic mechanism remains uncertain, but is thought to involve oxidative stress and abnormal protein aggregation, 2 processes known to induce heat shock proteins (HSPs). We studied the expression of 3 HSPs (alphaB-crystallin, HSP27, and HSP70) in transgenic mice overexpressing human mutant (G93A and G37R) SOD1,...
