摘要
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an inherited disease characterized by progressive motor neuron death and subsequent muscle weakness and is caused by deletion or mutation of survival motor neuron (SMN) 1 gene. Protecting spinal motor neuron is an effective clinical strategy for SMA. The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential effect of an anti-epileptic drug levetiracetam on SMA. In the present study, we used differentiated spinal motor neurons (MNs) from SMA patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (SMA-iPSCs) to investigate the effect of levetiracetam. Levetiracetam promoted neurite elongation in SMA-iPSCs-MNs. TUNEL-positive spinal motor neurons were significantly reduced by levetiracetam in SMA-iPSCs-MNs. In addition, the expression level of cleaved-caspase 3 was decreased by levetiracetam in SMA-iPSCs-MNs. Furthermore, levetiracetam improved impaired mitochondrial function in SMA-iPSCs-MNs. On the other hand, levetiracetam did not affect the expression level of SMN protein in SMA-iPSCs-MNs. These findings indicate that levetiracetam has a neuroprotective effect for SMA.
