Research
- The lethal motor neuron diseases (MNDs) amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
and spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) are defined by the loss of somatic motor
neurons that innervate muscles in arms, legs, trunk and face, leading to
muscle wasting. However, not all motor neurons are equally vulnerable;
certain groups of motor neurons are spared, including those in the oculomotor
nucleus, controlling eye movement and motor neurons in the Onuf's nucleus,
controlling pelvic muscles. The reasons for the differential vulnerability to
degeneration among motor neuron groups are unknown.
*Research in the Hedlund lab is aimed at elucidating mechanisms of neuronal
vulnerability and resistance with the goal of identifying new molecular
targets for the treatment of motor neuron diseases.*
Towards this goal, we utilize laser capture microdissection coupled with RNA
sequencing to dissect molecular pathways in distinct motor neuron populations
in animal models of MNDs. We also perform cross-disease analyses of
degenerative and regenerative axonal responses at neuromuscular junctions -
the specialized synapses between motor neurons and muscle.
Motor neuron cultures derived from embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced
pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) harboring disease-inducing mutations are
coupled with microfluidics to model MNDs and study neuronal vulnerability and
protection in vitro. Finally, we modulate candidate gene expression in vivo
in transgenic MND mouse models to induce motor neuron protection and axonal
regeneration.
