Presymptomatic Treatment with Acetylcholinesterase Antisense Oligonucleotides Prolongs Survival in ALS (G93A-SOD1) Mice

Figure 1

Presymptomatic mEN101 treatment delays death in the Tg-mice when compared to normal saline (NS), neostigmine (Neo), and inverse mEN101 (INV). Cumulative probability of death was delayed by mEN101. The mean time to death was significantly prolonged by 9 days in animals treated with mEN101 ( ) compared to NS ( ) ( ) and by 15 days when compared to Neo ( ) ( ). No significant effect on survival was found in the Inv ( ) or Neo ( ) treated groups when compared to NS although a nonsignificant trend towards earlier death was seen in the Neo group.
