Repeat RNA expansion disorders of the nervous system: post-transcriptional mechanisms and therapeutic strategies.
Critical reviews in biochemistry and molecular biology · 2021 · 56(1): 31-53
Dozens of incurable neurological disorders result from expansion of short repeat sequences in both coding and non-coding regions of the transcriptome. Short repeat expansions underlie microsatellite repeat expansion (MRE) disorders including myotonic dystrophy (DM1, CUG<sub>50-3,500</sub> in <i>DMPK</i>; DM2, CCTG<sub>75-11,000</sub> in …

G<sub>4</sub>C<sub>2</sub> Repeat RNA Initiates a POM121-Mediated Reduction in Specific Nucleoporins in C9orf72 ALS/FTD.
Neuron · 2020 · 107(6): 1124-1140.e11
Through mechanisms that remain poorly defined, defects in nucleocytoplasmic transport and accumulations of specific nuclear-pore-complex-associated proteins have been reported in multiple neurodegenerative diseases, including C9orf72 Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia (ALS/FTD). Using super-resolution structured illumination microscopy, we have explored …

Elimination of Toxic Microsatellite Repeat Expansion RNA by RNA-Targeting Cas9.
Cell · 2017 · 170(5): 899-912.e10
Microsatellite repeat expansions in DNA produce pathogenic RNA species that cause dominantly inherited diseases such as myotonic dystrophy type 1 and 2 (DM1/2), Huntington's disease, and C9orf72-linked amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (C9-ALS). Means to target these repetitive RNAs are required for …

Targeted degradation of sense and antisense C9orf72 RNA foci as therapy for ALS and frontotemporal degeneration.
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America · 2013 · 110(47): E4530-9
Expanded hexanucleotide repeats in the chromosome 9 open reading frame 72 (C9orf72) gene are the most common genetic cause of ALS and frontotemporal degeneration (FTD). Here, we identify nuclear RNA foci containing the hexanucleotide expansion (GGGGCC) in patient cells, including …

Misregulated RNA processing in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Brain research · 2012 · 1462: 3-15
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) research is undergoing an era of unprecedented discoveries with the identification of new genes as major genetic causes of this disease. These discoveries reinforce the genetic, clinical and pathological overlap between ALS and frontotemporal lobar degeneration …
