Spinal muscular atrophy is a genetically based disease that affects motor neurons in the spinal cord and leads to muscle wasting and weakness. The gene found to be responsible for the underlying disease is called the SMN or survival motor neuron gene. Individuals with SMA are either missing a copy of the gene or have a mutation in the gene. Although the gene has been identified, how it actually causes the motor neurons to die and leads to muscle wasting and weakness is not completely understood. The investigators have found that skin cells from children with SMA tend to be more susceptible to cell death when exposed to cell death inducing agents. In this protocol, The investigators wish to study the mechanisms by which these cells die when exposed to these agents and how this may be related to the gene defect and the disease.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | SMN localization in SMA fibroblasts | Established fibroblast lines from SMA patients will be immunolabeled with antibodies directed against SMN and examined for changes in the nuclear localization of SMN in gems. | up to 2 years | |
Secondary | SMN isoform mRNA levels | The levels of full-length SMN and SMNdelta7 (lacking exon 7) mRNA transcripts will be measured using quantitative PCR. | up to 2 years | |
Secondary | Protein levels of putative SMA phenotypic modifiers | The levels of previously identified modifiers of SMA clinical phenotype (i.e. plastin-3 and ZPR-1) will be examined by immunoblot. | up to 2 years | |
Secondary | cell viability in response to DNA damaging agents | The responsiveness of SMA fibroblasts to DNA damaging agents such as camptothecin, etoposide, bleomycin and actinomycin D will be measured using cell viability assays | up to 2 years | |
Secondary | SMN protein levels | SMN protein levels will be measured by immunoblot. | up to 2 years | |
Secondary | cell viability in response to cell death-inducing agents | The responsiveness of SMA fibroblasts to cell death-inducing agents such as staurosporine, tunicamycin and hydrogen peroxide will be examined using cell viability assays. | up to 2 years | |
Secondary | SMN2 copy number | SMN2 copy number will be determined by quantitative PCR of genomic DNA isolated from established fibroblast lines. | up to 2 years |
