Co-Occurrence of TDP-43 Mislocalization with Reduced Activity of an RNA Editing Enzyme, ADAR2, in Aged Mouse Motor Neurons

Abstract excerpt

TDP-43 pathology in spinal motor neurons is a neuropathological hallmark of sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and has recently been shown to be closely associated with the downregulation of an RNA editing enzyme called adenosine deaminase acting on RNA 2 (ADAR2) in the motor neurons of sporadic ALS patients. Because TDP-43 pathology is found more frequently in the brains of elderly patients, we...
