運(yùn)動(dòng)神經(jīng)元疾病“肌萎縮性脊髓側(cè)索硬化”（ALS）大約10%的病例是家族型的，但迄今所識(shí)別出的少量突變只占這些病例的20-30%左右。現(xiàn)在，對(duì)來自攜帶ALS的家族的個(gè)體所做的一項(xiàng)新的研究，識(shí)別出了OPTN基因（編碼視神經(jīng)蛋白的基因）三種不同的、以前未知的突變。

OPTN早先被報(bào)道是罕見家族型青光眼的致病基因。視神經(jīng)蛋白抑制調(diào)控蛋白NF-κB的激發(fā)的能力在這些突變體中丟失了，說明NF-κB抑制因子在ALS治療中也許有用。

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis （ALS） has its onset in middle age and is a progressive disorder characterized by degeneration of motor neurons of the primary motor cortex, brainstem and spinal cord1. Most cases of ALS are sporadic, but about 10% are familial. Genes known to cause classic familial ALS （FALS） are superoxide dismutase 1 （SOD1）2, ANG encoding angiogenin3, TARDP encoding transactive response （TAR） DNA-binding protein TDP-43 （ref. 4） and fused in sarcoma/translated in liposarcoma （FUS, also known as TLS）5, 6. However, these genetic defects occur in only about 20–30% of cases of FALS, and most genes causing FALS are unknown. Here we show that there are mutations in the gene encoding optineurin （OPTN）, earlier reported to be a causative gene of primary open-angle glaucoma （POAG）7, in patients with ALS. We found three types of mutation of OPTN: a homozygous deletion of exon 5, a homozygous Q398X nonsense mutation and a heterozygous E478G missense mutation within its ubiquitin-binding domain. Analysis of cell transfection showed that the nonsense and missense mutations of OPTN abolished the inhibition of activation of nuclear factor kappa B （NF-κB）, and the E478G mutation revealed a cytoplasmic distribution different from that of the wild type or a POAG mutation. A case with the E478G mutation showed OPTN-immunoreactive cytoplasmic inclusions. Furthermore, TDP-43- or SOD1-positive inclusions of sporadic and SOD1 cases of ALS were also noticeably immunolabelled by anti-OPTN antibodies. Our findings strongly suggest that OPTN is involved in the pathogenesis of ALS. They also indicate that NF-κB inhibitors could be used to treat ALS and that transgenic mice bearing various mutations of OPTN will be relevant in developing new drugs for this disorder.
