Diversity of early astrocyte reactive profiles in familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a rapidly progressive and fatal disease. Although astrocytes are increasingly recognized contributors to the underlying pathogenesis, the uniformity of their reactive transformation in different genetic forms of ALS remains unresolved. Here we begin to systematically examine this issue by performing RNA sequencing on highly enriched and serum-free human induced pluripotent stem cell derived astrocytes from patients with VCP, SOD1 and FUS mutations. The RNA-seq samples in this collection have been used to reveal that diverse fALS mutations lead to molecularly distinct reactive transformation in their basal state.
