The C9ORF72 BAC transgenic mice will be a valuable tool in the study of ALS/FTD pathobiology and therapy. The C9orf72 HRE is thought to cause disease by a toxic gain of function involving expanded repeat RNA and dipeptide repeat proteins (DPRs) produced by repeat-associated (non-AUG) translation, although a modest reduction in C9ORF72 protein is also seen (reviewed by Cook and Petrucelli, 2019).

Aberrant hexanucleotide repeat expansions in C9orf72 are the most common genetic change underlying amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Recently, unconventional non-ATG translation of the expanded hexanucleotide repeat, resulting in the production and aggregation of dipeptide repeat (DPR) proteins (poly-GA, -GR and GP), was identified as a potential pathomechanism of C9ORF72 mutations. C9orf72 expansions are the most common genetic cause of FTLD and MND identified to date. Finally, using an artificial microRNA that targets hu-manC9ORF72inculturesofprimarycorticalneurons from the C9BAC mice, we have attenuated expres-sionoftheC9BACtransgeneandthepoly(GP)dipep-tides. Moreover, our data imply that alterations due to the C9ORF72 mutation resulting in TDP-43 accumulation and dysmetabolism as secondary downstream effects likely play a central role in the neurodegenerative process in C9ORF72 pathogenesis. Expression of aggregated amyloid proteins in the nucleoplasm inhibits misfolded protein entrance to the nucleolus during heat stress, while dipeptide repeat protein (DPR) prevents their exit during recovery. dipeptide repeat proteins (DPRs), such as poly-GR, can be produced by this hexanucleotide expansion that disrupt a number of cellular processes, potentially contributing to neural degeneration.
