Interaction Information:

Comment There is an increase of TNF-alpha and FasL immunoreactivity in lumbar spinal cord sections of ALS patients and G93A transgenic mice. At 60 d, motor neurons from G93A mice with a healthy appearance were stained with TNF-alpha moderately, and immunoreactivity became more intense at 90 and 110 d.

Comment FasL immunostaining was found in both neurons and astrocytes similar to TNF-alpha. The increase of FasL immunoreactivity in G93A SOD1 mice occurred as early as 60 days.

FASLG

in spinal cord motor neurons; as early as 60 days
Comment Treatment with either thalidomide or lenalidomide attenuated weight loss, enhanced motor performance, decreased motor neuron cell death, and significantly increased the life span in G93A transgenic mice. Treated G93A mice showed a reduction in TNF-alpha and FasL immunoreactivity as well as their mRNA in the lumbar spinal cord.

Comment TNF-alpha mRNA was increased 10-fold in G93A SOD1 mice compared with control littermates. Thalidomide and lenalidomide treatment reduced TNF-alpha mRNA significantly.

Comment IL-1alpha RNA was elevated in vehicle-treated G93A mice compared with wild type (N1020 controls) and significantly reduced in lenalidomide-treated G93A mice while unchanged in thalidomide-treated G93A mice.
