Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is the most common motor neuron disease, which still lacks effective disease-modifying therapies. Similar to other neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer and Parkinson disease, ALS pathology is presumed to propagate over time, originating from the motor cortex and spreading to other cortical regions. Exploring early disease stages is crucial to understand the causative molecular changes underlying the pathology. For this, we sampled human postmortem prefrontal cortex (PFC) tissue from Brodmann area 6, an area that exhibits only moderate pathology at the time of death, and performed a multiomic analysis of 51 patients with sporadic ALS and 50 control subjects. To compare sporadic disease to genetic ALS, we additionally analyzed PFC tissue from 4 transgenic ALS mouse models (C9orf72-, SOD1-, TDP-43-, and FUS-ALS) using the same methods. This multiomic data resource includes transcriptome, small RNAome, and proteome data from female and male samples, aimed at elucidating early and sex-specific ALS mechanisms, biomarkers, and drug targets.
肌萎缩侧索硬化症(ALS)是最常见的运动神经元疾病,目前仍缺乏有效的疾病修饰疗法。与其他神经退行性疾病,如阿尔茨海默病和帕金森病一样,ALS的病理变化被认为会随着时间推移而扩散,起源于运动皮层并扩散到其他皮层区域。探索疾病早期阶段对于了解病理背后的致病分子变化至关重要。为此,我们从布罗德曼6区采集了人类死后前额叶皮质(PFC)组织样本,该区域在死亡时仅表现出中度病理变化,并对51例散发性ALS患者和50例对照受试者进行了多组学分析。为了将散发性疾病与遗传性ALS进行比较,我们还使用相同方法分析了4种转基因ALS小鼠模型(C9orf72-、SOD1-、TDP-43-和FUS-ALS)的PFC组织。这个多组学数据资源包括来自雌性和雄性样本的转录组、小RNA组和蛋白质组数据,旨在阐明早期和性别特异性的ALS机制、生物标志物和药物靶点。
