Skeletal muscle biopsies were performed on transgenic SOD1G93A mice, a mouse model of ALS, to determine genetic biomarkers of disease longevity. Mice were anesthetized with isoflurane, and three biopsy samples were obtained per animal at the three main stages of the disease. Transcriptional expression levels of seventeen genes, Ankrd1, Calm1, Col19a1, Fbxo32, Gsr, Impa1, Mef2c, Mt2, Myf5, Myod1, Myog, Nnt, Nogo A, Pax7, Rrad, Sln and Snx10, were tested in each muscle biopsy sample. Total RNA was extracted using TRIzol Reagent according to the manufacturer's protocol, and variations in gene expression were assayed by real-time PCR for all of the samples. The Pearson correlation coefficient was used to determine the linear correlation between transcriptional expression levels throughout disease progression and longevity. Consistent with the results obtained from total skeletal muscle of transgenic SOD1G93A mice and 74-day-old denervated mice, five genes (Mef2c, Gsr, Col19a1, Calm1 and Snx10) could be considered potential genetic biomarkers of longevity in transgenic SOD1G93A mice. These results are important because they may lead to the exploration of previously unexamined tissues in the search for new disease biomarkers and even to the application of these findings in human studies. 000070699 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/ISCIII/EC08-00049$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/ISCIII/PI07-1283$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/ISCIII/PI10-01787 000070699 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 000070699 590__ $$a3.73$$b2012 000070699 591__ $$aMULTIDISCIPLINARY SCIENCES$$b7 / 57 = 0.123$$c2012$$dQ1$$eT1 000070699 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000070699 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-7477-8742$$aManzano, R.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000070699 700__ $$aAtencia-Cibreiro, G. 000070699 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0003-0156-4230$$aOliván, S.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000070699 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0001-8301-6902$$aMuñoz, M.J.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000070699 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0001-5740-0185$$aZaragoza, P.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000070699 700__ $$aCordero-Vázquez, P. 000070699 700__ $$aEsteban-Pérez, J. 000070699 700__ $$aGarcía-Redondo, A. 000070699 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0001-5687-6704$$aOsta, R.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000070699 7102_ $$11001$$2420$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
