Mutations in optineurin have recently been linked to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
To determine whether optineurin-positive skeinlike inclusions are a common pathologic feature in ALS, including SOD1 -linked ALS.
Clinical case series.
Academic referral center.
We analyzed spinal cord sections from 46 clinically and pathologically diagnosed ALS cases and ALS transgenic mouse models overexpressing ALS-linked SOD1 mutations G93A or L126Z.
We observed optineurin-immunoreactive skeinlike inclusions in all the sporadic ALS and familial ALS cases without SOD1 mutation, but not in cases with SOD1 mutations or in transgenic mice overexpressing the ALS-linked SOD1 mutations G93A or L126Z.
The data from this study provide evidence that optineurin is involved in the pathogenesis of sporadic ALS and non- SOD1 familial ALS, thus supporting the hypothesis that these forms of ALS share a pathway that is distinct from that of SOD1-linked ALS.
最近发现视紫质蛋白（optineurin）的突变与肌萎缩侧索硬化症（ALS）有关。
确定视紫质蛋白阳性的丝状包涵体是否为ALS（包括与超氧化物歧化酶1（SOD1）相关的ALS）的常见病理特征。
临床病例系列。
学术转诊中心。
我们分析了46例临床和病理诊断为ALS的病例以及过表达与ALS相关的SOD1突变G93A或L126Z的ALS转基因小鼠模型的脊髓切片。
我们在所有无SOD1突变的散发性ALS和家族性ALS病例中观察到视紫质蛋白免疫反应性丝状包涵体，但在有SOD1突变的病例或过表达与ALS相关的SOD1突变G93A或L126Z的转基因小鼠中未观察到。
本研究数据提供了证据，表明视紫质蛋白参与散发性ALS和非SOD1家族性ALS的发病机制，从而支持了这些形式的ALS共享一条与SOD1相关的ALS不同的途径这一假说。
