Sarcopenia and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: Biological Pathways and Analysis


The ALS-T2D comorbidity is driven by a bidirectional, exosome-mediated proteostatic collapse. Peripheral tissues (muscle, pancreas) dictate CNS TDP-43 stability via exosomal miRNAs (miR-126a-5p) and glucose-dependent modifications (O-GlcNAcylation). Conversely, pharmacological activation of ubiquitin-peptidases (e.g., Acarbose targeting USP46) or restitution of glycolytic cofactors (F2,6BP) represent novel, cross-disciplinary therapeutic targets capable of halting systemic proteinopathy.

Why are frontotemporal dementia and c9orf72 ALS considered different diseases if they are both driven by the same abnormal expansion of a GGGGCC (G₄C₂) sequence in the first intron of the C9orf72 gene? Is it logical to think that CRISPR therapeutics for FTD potentially be used for ALS as well?
