This is an open access article under the CC BY license (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/). abstract: The primarily nuclear RNA-binding protein FUS (fused in sarcoma) forms pathological cytoplasmic inclusions in a subset of early-onset amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) patients. In response to cellular stress, FUS is recruited to cytoplasmic stress granules, which are hypothesized to act as precursors of pathological inclusions. We monitored the stress-induced nucleocytoplasmic shuttling of endogenous FUS in an ex vivo mouse CNS model and human neural networks. We found that hyperosmolar, but not oxidative, stress induced robust cytoplasmic translocation of neuronal FUS, with transient nuclear clearance and loss of function. Surprisingly, this reaction is independent of stress granule formation and the molecular pathways activated by hyperosmolarity. Instead, it represents a mechanism mediated by cytoplasmic redistribution of Transportin 1/2 and is potentiated by transcriptional inhibition. Importantly, astrocytes, which remain unaffected in ALS/FTD-FUS, are spared from this stress reaction that may signify the initial event in the development of FUS pathology. date: 2018-07-24 date_type: published official_url: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.celrep.2018.06.094 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green article_type_text: Journal Article verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1571271 doi: 10.1016/j.celrep.2018.06.094 pii: S2211-1247(18)31036-2 lyricists_name: Gittings, Lauren lyricists_name: Lashley, Tammaryn lyricists_id: LMGIT29 lyricists_id: TJOHN05 actors_name: Flynn, Bernadette actors_id: BFFLY94 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Cell Reports volume: 24 number: 4 pagerange: 987-1000.e7 event_location: United States issn: 2211-1247 citation: Hock, E-M; Maniecka, Z; Hruska-Plochan, M; Reber, S; Laferrière, F; Sahadevan M K, S; Ederle, H; ...
