Our results identify a common host cell signalling pathway that diverse protein aggregates exploit to remodel actin and enter cells. demonstrates the pathophysiological importance of cofilin\1 in this disease model. The changes in cofilin\1 phosphorylation observed in the spinal cord of SOD1 transgenic mice were associated with an increased F/G\actin ratio (Fig?5C and Triphendiol (NV-196) D). These alterations were specific to the spinal cord, the affected tissue in the SOD1G93A mice because no such changes were observed in the brains of the transgenic mice (Fig?5E and F). These results argue that cofilin\1 signalling is altered in SOD1G93A mice. Open in a separate window Figure 5 SOD1 aggregates alter cofilin\1 phosphorylation…
