Activating ATF6 in spinal muscular atrophy promotes SMN expression and motor neuron survival through the IRE1α‐XBP1 pathway
26 Mar 2022
Abstract excerpt
AIM: Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neuromuscular disease caused by survival of motor neuron (SMN) deficiency that induces motor neuron (MN) degeneration and severe muscular atrophy. Gene therapies that increase SMN have proven their efficacy but not for all patients. Here, we explored the unfolded protein response (UPR) status in SMA pathology and explored whether UPR modulation could be beneficial for SMA...
