Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis 		0.020 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE We show that (a) the JNK/SAPK-c-Jun pathway is dramatically overexpressed in ALS spinal cord; (b) the strongest activation occurs in astrocytes, while motor neurons show unusually low expression of the pathway; (c) increased JNK/SAPK expression in glial cells is accompanied by NF-kappa B activation, indicating the presence of a protective response to oxidant sress, which is deficient in motor neurons; (d) activation of JNK/SAPK, c-Jun and NF-kappa B is unrelated to apoptotic cell death. 9413280 1997
