摘要

细胞质TDP43错位和聚集是肌萎缩性侧索硬化症（ALS）的病理标志。然而，导致TDP43错误定位的初始细胞损伤尚不清楚。在这项研究中，我们证明了nemo样激酶(NLK) -一种脯氨酸导向的丝氨酸/苏氨酸激酶-通过破坏核输入促进TDP43和其他rna结合蛋白的错误定位。NLK水平在ALS患者组织中表现出TDP43错位的神经元中选择性升高，而NLK的遗传减少可降低ALS人神经元模型的毒性。我们的研究结果表明，NLK是神经退行性疾病的一个有希望的治疗靶点。

Nemo-like kinase disrupts nuclear import and drives TDP43 mislocalization in ALS.

Cytoplasmic TDP43 mislocalization and aggregation are pathological hallmarks of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). However, the initial cellular insults that lead to TDP43 mislocalization remain unclear. In this study, we demonstrate that Nemo-like kinase (NLK) - a proline-directed serine/threonine kinase - promotes the mislocalization of TDP43 and other RNA-binding proteins by disrupting nuclear import. NLK levels are selectively elevated in neurons exhibiting TDP43 mislocalization in ALS patient tissues, while genetic reduction of NLK reduces toxicity in human neuron models of ALS. Our findings suggest that NLK is a promising therapeutic target for neurodegenerative diseases.
