“…For instance, it has been observed that the translocation of Bax and Bak from the cytosol to the mitochondria correlates with a diseased progression in mutant SOD1 mice, and increased Bid cleavage is detected in mutant SOD1 mice as compared to WT controls. 7 Our data extend previous findings in three important directions.…”

“…1,6 Alteration in the expression of pro-and antiapoptotic genes, activation of caspases and release of cytochrome c have been found in the spinal cord of transgenic mice expressing human SOD1 with the G93A mutation and in human ALS patients without SOD1 mutations. 7 In addition, survival of the G93A-SOD1 ALS mice is prolonged by treatment with the pan-caspase inhibitor ZVAD-fmk and by overexpression of Bcl2, and we have demonstrated that overexpression of G93A-SOD1 requires the expression of Apaf1 to induce cell death. 8,9 Intriguingly, evidence of a direct link between SOD1 and an apoptotic pathway has been provided by the demonstration that both wild-type (WT) and mutant SOD1 can bind Bcl2.…”

“…A spectrum of apoptosis mediators is seen in neurons vulnerable in AD and ALS post-mortem tissues. 7,10,34 More recently, Casp9, a component of the apoptosome, has been found to be activated in spinal motor neurons of human ALS patients and to be involved in disease progression in transgenic mouse models. 35 Cellular models mimic various aspects of the neurodegenerative diseases, none entirely recapitulating the human pathology, but most overcoming many of the limitations of human post-mortem tissues (including the nonfeasibility of manipulating mediators of apoptosis).…”

“…In fact, inappropriate activation of apoptotic pathways mediated by these stimuli is a contributing event in two neurodegenerative diseases, Alzheimer's disease (AD) and familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (fALS). 7,10 The two stimuli are very different: Ab forms aggregate and lead mainly to an extracellular death induction, while mutant SOD1 acts at the intracellular level. Furthermore, the stimuli's neuronal targets in adult life are different, since hippocampal, striatal, cortical and cerebellar neurons are typically affected in AD, whereas motor neurons are selectively affected in fALS.…”

“…Pendant très longtemps, il paraissait prometteur de trouver une stratégie thérapeutique qui permette de sauver le corps cellulaire du motoneurone de l'apoptose, ce qui préserverait les chances de régénération de la jonction neuromusculaire. Ainsi, les très nombreux travaux étudiant les mécanismes de la mort du corps cellulaire du motoneurone ont clairement établi que celle-ci, chez l'homme comme chez la souris SOD1m, est de type apoptotique, et que de multiples voies de transduction participent in vivo à la dégénérescence du corps cellulaire (pour revue, voir [7]). Sur le plan thérapeutique, ces travaux se sont révélés décevants.…”
