Collection description
Since MeHg exposure hastens the onset of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis-like phenotype in SOD1G93A mice activating glutamate receptors and determined neuronal cell death by increasing REST expression, we invesigated the possible role of MeHg to accelerate reduction in cell survival in NSC-34 motor neuron like cells transiently transfected whit G93A-SOD1 construct via REST up regulation. Furthermore, we studied the trascriptional activators Sp1, Sp3, CREB and JunD. Additionally, we identified the epigenetic mechanism by which MeHg regulated REST gene. Since REST overexpression in neurons determined cell death by activating necroptosis, we investigated the role of MeHg to activate necroptosis in NSC34 cells overexpressing G93A-SOD1 construct
