Early Excitability Changes in Lumbar Motoneurons of Transgenic SOD1 and SOD1 Mice
Pambo-Pambo A, Durand J, Gueritaud JP. Early excitability changes in lumbar motoneurons of transgenic SOD1 and SOD1 mice. J Neurophysiol 102: 3627–3642, 2009. First published October 14, 2009; doi:10.1152/jn.00482.2009. This work characterizes the properties of wild-type (WT) mouse motoneurons in the second postnatal week and compares these at the same age and in the same conditions to those of...
متن کاملPostnatal electrical and morphological abnormalities in lumbar motoneurons from transgenic mouse models of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Antidromically identified lumbar motoneurons intracellularly recorded in the entire brainstem/spinal cord preparation isolated from SOD1(G85R) postnatal mice (P3-P10) were labelled with neurobiotin and fully reconstructed in 3D from serial sections in order to analyse their morphology. This staining procedure revealed differences between WT and SOD1(G85R) dendritic trees for most metric and top...
متن کاملAccumulation of SOD1 mutants in postnatal motoneurons does not cause motoneuron pathology or motoneuron disease.
Transgenic mice expressing high levels of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FALS)-associated mutant superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) under the control of a human SOD1 minigene (hMg) accumulate mutant protein ubiquitously and develop motoneuron disease. However, restricted expression of SOD1 mutants in neurons apparently does not cause motor impairments in mice. Here, we investigated the poss...
متن کاملAge-Related Changes in Pre- and Postsynaptic Partners of the Cholinergic C-Boutons in Wild-Type and SOD1G93A Lumbar Motoneurons
Large cholinergic synaptic terminals known as C-boutons densely innervate the soma and proximal dendrites of motoneurons that are prone to neurodegeneration in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Studies using the Cu/Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD1) mouse model of ALS have generated conflicting data regarding C-bouton alterations exhibited during ALS pathogenesis. In the present work, a longitud...
متن کاملMonoaminergic control of spinal locomotor networks in SOD1G93A newborn mice
Mutations in the gene that encodes Cu/Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD1) are the cause of approximately 20% of familial forms of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a fatal neurodegenerative disease characterized by the progressive loss of motor neurons. While ALS symptoms appear in adulthood, spinal motoneurons exhibit functional alterations as early as the embryonic and postnatal stages in the m...
