- W2507601844 abstract "Huntington's disease (HD) is an adult onset neurodegenerative disorder for which there is currently no cure. While HD patients and animal models of the disease exhibit increased oxidative damage, it is currently uncertain to what extent oxidative stress contributes to disease pathogenesis. In this work, we use a genetic approach to define the role of oxidative stress in HD. We find that a C. elegans model of HD expressing a disease-length polyglutamine tract in the body wall muscle is hypersensitive to oxidative stress and shows an upregulation of antioxidant defense genes, indicating that the HD worm model has increased levels of oxidative stress. To determine whether this increase in oxidative stress contributes to the development of polyglutamine-toxicity phenotypes in this HD model, we examined the effect of deleting individual superoxide dismutase (sod) genes in the HD worm model. As predicted, we found that deletion of sod genes in the HD worm model resulted in a clear increase in sensitivity to oxidative stress. However, we found that increasing oxidative stress in the HD worm model did not exacerbate deficits caused by polyglutamine toxicity. We confirmed these observations in two worm models expressing disease-length polyglutamine tracts in neurons. Furthermore, we found that treatment with antioxidants failed to rescue movement deficits or decrease aggregation in HD worm models. Combined, this suggests that the increase in oxidative stress in worm models of HD does not contribute to the phenotypic deficits observed in these worms, and provides a possible explanation for the failure of antioxidants in HD clinical trials." @default.
