Large-scale RNA-Seq mining reveals ciclopirox olamine induces TDP-43 cryptic exons by Irika R. Sinha, Parker S. Sandal, Holly Spence, Grace D. Burns, Aswathy Peethambaran Mallika, Fatemeh Abbasinejad, Katherine E. Irwin, Anna Lourdes F. Cruz, Vania Wang, Shaelyn R. Marx, Josué Llamas Rodríguez, Ben Langmead, Jenna M. Gregory, Philip C. Wong, Jonathan P. Ling

“…We previously found that TDP-43 loss-of-function leads to transcriptome-wide inclusion of deleterious cryptic exons, a signature detected in presymptomatic biofluids and postmortem ALS-FTD brain tissue, but the upstream mechanisms that lead to TDP-43 dysregulation remain unclear. …”
