Human Uncharacterized protein C9orf72(C9orf72) ELISA kit

1. Review: Drosophila has been widely used to model G4C2 repeat RNA and dipeptide repeat protein toxicity. Overexpression of disease molecules in flies has revealed important molecular insights. These have been validated and further explored in human neurons differentiated from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), a disease-relevant model in which expanded G4C2 repeats are expressed in their native molecular context. PMID: 29729808
2. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis patients with C9ORF72 repeat expansions accumulate symmetric arginine demethylated proteins which co-localize with p62. PMID: 30022074
3. This study demonstrated that C9orf72 RE is not genetically associated to MS spectrum. PMID: 30099204
4. Results found that in sodium or potassium salt solutions, single-stranded d(C2G4)n within C9orf72 gene fold to form G-quadruplexes. Especially under slightly acidic conditions, d(C2G4)n oligonucleotides fold to form a distinctive higher order structure whose most striking feature is an "inverted" circular dichroism spectrum, which is distinguishable from the spectrum of the left handed DNA double-helix, Z-DNA. PMID: 29912891
5. repeat RNA-sequestration of SRSF1 triggers the NXF1-dependent nuclear export of C9ORF72 transcripts retaining expanded hexanucleotide repeats PMID: 28677678
6. Review discussing the discovery of an intronic (G4C2)*(G2C4) expansion causing the most common forms of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). This discovery linked ALS with a clinically distinct form of dementia and a larger group of microsatellite repeat diseases, and catalyzed basic and translational research. PMID: 29703376
7. G4C2 hexanucleotide repeat expansions in the C9orf72 gene seem to be the cause of numerous cases of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and/or frontotemporal dementia (FTD). PMID: 29449030

19. Mutations in the footprinted region of Nup54 polymers blocked both polymerization and binding by the toxic proline:arginine poly-dipeptide suggesting that toxicity of the C9orf72 PRn poly-dipeptide results in part from its ability to lock the FG repeats of nuclear pore proteins in the polymerized state. PMID: 28069952
20. DPR-mediated dysfunction of U2 snRNP could account for as much as approximately 44% of the mis-spliced cassette exons in C9ORF72 patient brains. PMID: 28614712
21. C9ORF72 repeat expansion leads to the upregulation of GluA1 in motor neurons, that could lead to a potential pathogenic excitotoxic mechanism in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis patients. PMID: 29367641
22. This study demonstrated that in ALS with cognition disorder has C9orf72 mutation. PMID: 28444446
23. von Economo neuron density was reduced in sporadic behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) cases only. Thalamus degeneration was identified only in bvFTD cases with the C9ORF72 repeat expansion, and to a similar extent in cases with and without psychosis. No significant difference in von Economo neuron density or thalamus degeneration was seen between bvFTD cases with or without the C9ORF72 repeat expansion. PMID: 28482638
24. The result of this study concluded that behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia patients carrying the C9ORF72 expansion may display more pronounced executive deficits together with less severe verbal memory impairment as compared to their non-carrier behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia counterparts. PMID: 28453474
25. The C9orf72 hexanucleotide repeat was only found in humans, chimpanzees and gorillas, species with higher opposability indices PMID: 28010125

29. Demyelinating lesions might facilitate expressivity of C9orf72 expansion, through NF-kappaB activation. This plausible association may lead to the identification of a therapeutic target in this subgroup of C9orf72-amyotrophic lateral sclerosis patients. PMID: 29055436
30. These findings suggest that the presence of a C9orf72 mutation does not influence the tau signature of ALS or ALSci. PMID: 28562075
31. We created Smcr8 knockout mice and found that Smcr8 mutant cells exhibit impaired autophagy induction, which is similarly observed in C9orf72 knockdown cells. Mechanistically, SMCR8/C9ORF72 interacts with the key autophagy initiation ULK1 complex and regulates expression and activity of ULK1 PMID: 27617292
32. Our study did not find any pathological C9ORF72 repeat expansions in two large groups of patients with disease and multiple system atrophy, suggesting that C9ORF72 expansions do not play a major role in the susceptibility to the wider spectrum of Parkinsonism. However, study identified a statistically significant association between number of repeats and age at onset in Parkinson's disease patients. PMID: 27473499
33. Pathogenesis may occur either due to loss of function of the C9orf72 gene, or a toxic gain of function, via the production of repetitive sense and antisense RNA and/or repetitive dipeptide repeat proteins. Recently, mouse knockouts have suggested that a loss of function of C9orf72 alone is insufficient to lead to neurodegeneration, whilst overexpression of hexanucleotide DNA is sufficient in a wide range of model systems PMID: 28364657
34. We review what has been published regarding C9orf72 repeat size as modifier for phenotypic characteristics. Conclusive evidence is lacking, partly due to the difficulties in accurately defining the exact repeat size and the presence of repeat variability due to somatic mosaicism PMID: 28319737

38. Several family members of the patient suffered of atypical Parkinsonism, lateral amyotrophic sclerosis and dementia. We identified an abnormal hexanucleotide expansion in the C9orf72 gene in the proband. PMID: 29182198
39. This study is an extensive characterization of induced pluripotent stem cells-derived motor neurons as cellular models of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis carrying C9orf72 hexanucleotide repeats. PMID: 27097283
40. this implies that the difference between C9 hESCs and iPSCs may be crucial for investigating the neural phenotype of the C9/ALS-FTD disease, given that mutant hESCs are likely to present a more accurate and more severe phenotype than comparable iPSCs. PMID: 27773700
41. The low penetrance of C9orf72 mutations, its contribution to sporadic cases, and its combination with other genes support an oligogenic model where two or more genes contribute to disease risk, onset, progression and phenotype: from 'pure' Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD)to combined ALS/FTD PMID: 28087719
