Abstract
Motor neuron degeneration in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is proposed to occur by necroptosis, an inflammatory form of regulated cell death. Prior studies implicated necroptosis in ALS based on accumulation of necroptotic markers in affected tissues of patients and mouse models, and amelioration of disease in mutant superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1G93A) mice with inhibition of the upstream necroptotic mediators, receptor interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1), and RIPK3. To definitively address the pathogenic role of necroptosis in ALS, we genetically ablated the critical terminal executioner of necroptosis, mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL), in SOD1G93A mice. Disease onset, progression, and survival were not affected in SOD1G93A mice lacking MLKL. Motor neuron degeneration and activation of neuroinflammatory cells, astrocytes, and microglia, were independent of MLKL expression in SOD1G93A mice. While RIPK1 accumulation occurred in spinal cords of SOD1G93A mice in late stage disease, RIPK3 and MLKL expression levels were not detected in central nervous system tissues from normal or SOD1G93A mice at any disease stage. These findings demonstrate that necroptosis does not play an important role in motor neuron death in ALS, which may limit the potential of therapeutic targeting of necroptosis in the treatment of neurological disorders.

An easy way to objectively quantify the muscular strength of mice and rats, and to assess the effect of drugs, toxins, muscular (i.e. myopathy) and neurodegenerative diseases on muscular degeneration. It is widely used in conjunction with the ROTAROD motor coordination test: a normally coordinated rodent will show a decreased latency to fall off the rotating rod if its muscular strength is low. The Grip Strength Test is a must for your research on activity, motor control & coordination, and is particularly well suited for studies on Parkinson's & Huntington's disease.
