摘要
Mutations in Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase ( encoded by SOD1), one of the causes of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), lead to progressive death of motoneurons through a gain-of-function mechanism. RNA interference (RNAi) mediated by viral vectors allows for long-term reduction in gene expression and represents an attractive therapeutic approach for genetic diseases characterized by acquired toxic properties. We report that in SOD1(G93A) transgenic mice, a model for familial ALS, intraspinal injection of a lentiviral vector that produces RNAi-mediated silencing of SOD1 substantially retards both the onset and the progression rate of the disease.
