Abstract TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) is a main constituent of cytoplasmic aggregates in neuronal and glial cells in cases of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal lobar degeneration. We have previously demonstrated that adenovirus-transduced artificial TDP-43 cytoplasmic aggregates formation is enhanced by proteasome inhibition and were reported in patients with ALS, most of which were localized in prion-like domain [4]. The CTF TDP-43 species with the ALS-linked mutations were reported to have more stable natures [11]. Cytoplasmic TDP-43 aggregates are likely composed of wild type (WT) and CTF TDP-43 [12], and have been shown to contain phosphorylated and ubiquitinated species of TDP-43 [13,14]. TDP-43 deposition is possibly mediated by multiple factors, Tranylcypromine hydrochloride such as impaired protein metabolism, stress granule formation, disrupted RNA metabolism, oxidative stress,.
