Abstract excerpt
Multiple cellular pathways have been suggested to be altered by the C9orf72 GGGGCC (G4C2) hexanucleotide repeat expansion (HRE), including aspects of RNA regulation such as nonsense-mediated decay (NMD). Here, we investigate the role that overexpression of UPF1, a protein involved in NMD, plays in mitigating neurotoxicity in multiple models of C9orf72 ALS/FTD. First, we show that NMD is not altered in our...
