Using the EAE mouse model, we investigated p66ShcA (p66), a redox enzyme that promotes mitochondrial ROS production. p66-knockout mice exhibited reduced clinical severity and axonal damage despite similar inflammation compared to wild-type mice. Neuronal cultures from p66-KO mice showed greater resistance to oxidative stress and preserved mitochondrial integrity. These findings implicate p66 in pathways leading to mitochondrial permeability transition pore activation and neurodegeneration, suggesting p66 inhibition as a potential therapeutic strategy for MS. 000000745 540__ $$fCC BY 000000745 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000000745 650__ $$aMitochondria$$022348 000000745 650__ $$aShc Signaling Adaptor Proteins$$038462 000000745 650__ $$aReactive Oxygen Species$$029926 000000745 650__ $$aMultiple Sclerosis$$022506 000000745 650__ $$aMitochondrial Diseases$$033486 000000745 650__ $$aMice, Knockout$$030736 000000745 650__ $$aMice$$036842 000000745 650__ $$aInflammation$$020800 000000745 650__ $$aMitochondrial Permeability Transition Pore$$013351 000000745 6531_ $$aactive oxygen 000000745 6531_ $$aaxonal degeneration 000000745 6531_ $$ap66shca 000000745 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000000745 692__ $$aVollum Institute$$041509 000000745 7001_ $$aSu, Kimmy$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000000745 7201_ $$aBourdette, Dennis$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eAdvisor 000000745 7201_ $$aForte, Michael$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eAdvisor 000000745 8564_ $$98501f051-641b-41e6-bfc1-2f6e00496d54$$s5266701$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/745/files/748_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$2762c0298a4bfd95cfc322d3078f4543d$$31 000000745 905__ $$a/rest/prod/js/95/6f/81/js956f81p 000000745 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:745$$pstudent-work 000000745 956__ $$aGet Accessible Copy$$uhttps://ohsu.libwizard.com/f/requestaccessibledocument 000000745 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
