摘要
TNF-alpha overexpression may contribute to motor neuron death in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). We investigated the intracellular pathway associated with TNF-alpha in the wobbler mouse, a murine model of A LS, at the onset of symptoms. TNF-alpha and TNFR1 overexpression and JNK/p38MAPK phosphorylation occurred in neurons and microglia in early symptomatic mice, suggesting that this activation may contribute to motor neuron damage. The involvement of TNF-alpha was further confirmed by the protective effect of treatment with rhTNF-alpha. binding protein (rhTBP-1) from 4 to 9 weeks of age. rhTBP-1 reduced the progression of symptoms, motor neuron loss, gliosis and JNK/ p38MAPK phosphorylation in wobbler mice, but did not reduce TNF-alpha and TNFR1 levels. rhTBP-1 might possibly bind TNF-alpha and reduce the downstream phosphorylation of two main effectors of the neuroinflammatory response, p38MAPK and JNK.
