Optineurin overexpression ameliorates neurodegeneration through regulating neuroinflammation and mitochondrial quality in a murine model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis by Shumin Zhao, Shumin Zhao, Ranran Chen, Ranran Chen, Yi An, Yali Zhang, Yali Zhang, Cheng Ma, Ying Gao, Ying Gao, Yanchao Lu, Yanchao Lu, Fei Yang, Fei Yang, Xue Bai, Xue Bai, Jingjing Zhang, Jingjing Zhang, Jingjing Zhang

“…Optn overexpression also ameliorated the MNs loss by 46.8%. Moreover, all these ameliorating effects induced by Optn overexpression might be due to the inhibition of cellular apoptosis, improvement of mitochondrial quality, regulation of mitochondrial dynamics, promotion of mitophagy, and anti-inflammatory properties.ConclusionOur data demonstrate that Optn overexpression protects MNs, inhibites cellular apoptosis, improves mitochondrial quality and regulates neuroinflamation in SOD1G93A mice at the pre-symptomatic stage.…”
