Table 2. Axonally translated proteins in neurological disorders.

Disease/Disorder mRNAs Altered Mechanism References
Alzheimer disease ATF4 Aβ1-42 induced transcription and anterograde transport (Baleriola and others 2014)
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) Nefl Decreased transport with TDP-43 mutation (Alami and others 2014)
271 decreased + 176 increased Altered axonal localization with TDP-43A315T expression (Rotem and others 2017)
80 decreased + 95 increased Altered axonal localization with SOD1G93A expression
APC mRNA ligands Altered axonal localization with FUS/TLS expression (Yasuda and others 2017)

Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) β-actin, GAP43, Cav2.2 Decreased axonal levels with SMN depletion (Fallini and others 2016; Jablonka and others 2007)
Increased and decreased mRNAs SMN depletion from motor neurons substantially alters the axonal transcriptome (Saal and others 2014)

Neuropathic pain CREB1 Capsaicin and IL-6 injection increase intra-axonal translation through mTOR pathways (Melemedjian and others 2010; Melemedjian and others 2013; Melemedjian and others 2014)

Neurotropic viral infection ? Retrograde transport of pseudorabies virus requires axonal translation (Koyuncu and others 2013)
