Previously, several studies have demonstrated changes in the levels of small heat shock proteins (sHSP) in the transgenic mouse models of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (fALS) linked to mutations in Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase. Here, we compared the expression of sHSPs in transgenic mouse models of fALS, Parkinson's disease (PD), dentato-rub...

... This result is in favor of a contribution of this gene to a reduction in neuronal survival in vivo. HSPD1 expression was not significantly decreased, which is consistent with previous observations in a mouse model of ALS and PD [156,157]. Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) is a catalyzer of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD). Decreased levels of NAD, a cofactor in numerous redox reactions, have been observed in the aging brain and are closely associated with classical ALS and PD progression [75]. ...
