漸凍人 (陽明大 鄭子豪) 瞄準Spt4 尋解藥! (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia)
漸凍人抑病基因找到了! 最快2年有藥可用 健康醫療網 2016/09/18 (健康醫療網/記者郭庚儒報導) 漸凍人治療出現曙光!陽明大學研究發現,人體的「Spt4」
Spt4 selectively regulates the expression of C9orf72 sense and antisense mutant transcripts Science 12 Aug 2016: An expanded hexanucleotide repeat in C9orf72 causes amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia (c9FTD/ALS). Therapeutics are being developed to target RNAs containing the expanded repeat sequence (GGGGCC); however, this approach is complicated by the presence of antisense strand transcription of expanded GGCCCC repeats. We found that targeting the transcription elongation factor Spt4 selectively decreased production of both sense and antisense expanded transcripts, as well as their translated dipeptide repeat (DPR) products, and also mitigated degeneration in animal models. Knockdown of SUPT4H1, the human Spt4 ortholog, similarly decreased production of sense and antisense RNA foci, as well as DPR proteins, in patient cells. Therapeutic targeting of a single factor to eliminate c9FTD/ALS pathological features offers advantages over approaches that require targeting sense and antisense repeats separately.
