Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We generated optineurin (OPTN) knockout (KO) mice. Compared to wild-type mice, 24-month-old OPTN-KO mice did not differ for survival curve, body weight or motor function. Inclusion body like structures were observed in the cell bodies of motor neurons in the lumbar spinal cord. Golgi fragmentation was increased. Axonal degeneration was observed in sciatic nerve. Double modification mice of SOD1 and OPTN showed elongation of life time.
