摘要

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder arising from the selective death of motor neurons. Approximately 20% of familial ALS (fALS) cases are caused by toxic gain-of-function mutations in the superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) gene. We as well as others have provided proof-of-principle for the use of RNA interference (RNAi) against mutant SOD1 as a potential therapy for fALS. With the aim of maximizing the delivery of these silencing instructions, we explored the efficacy of intravenous delivery of recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) serotype 6 expressing small hairpin RNAs targeting mutant SOD1 in the G93A SOD1 fALS mouse model. This approach resulted in a systemic transduction profile, corresponding to transduction of the entire skeletal musculature as well as heart and liver. In addition, motor neurons at all levels of the spinal cord and brain stem were transduced, amounting to 3–5% of the lower motor neuron pool. SOD1 protein levels were reduced by >50% in all the muscles that were examined. Crucially, this silencing profile did not alter the course of the disease in this fALS model, thereby providing compelling evidence that SOD1-mediated damage within skeletal muscles does not contribute to death of motor neurons in ALS. Further, this study demonstrates that motor neurons can be transduced across the length of the spinal cord through a single noninvasive delivery of rAAV.
