AB Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a mortal neurodegenerative disease andtogether with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) they are considered a part of the samespectrum of diseases collectively called TDP-43 proteinopathies, since they haveseveral pathological characteristics in common. One of the main characteristics thatdefine ALS is the loss of TDP-43 from the nucleus and its accumulation in thecytoplasm, forming inclusions. Since the PI3K/AKT pathway is neuroprotective andcontrols a prosynaptogenic program, this pathway is important in the study of ALSpathogenesis. The usage of a PI3K pathway activating transduction peptide (PTD4-PI3KAc) as a pharmacological tool offers us the possibility of studying the possiblefunctional interactions between TDP-43 and the PI3K pathway. Thanks to the use of aan allelic series of Knock-In mice with point mutations in the Tardbp/TDP-43 gene andthe use of the activating peptide, we can study how the activation of the PI3K pathwaycan influence the different mutations in TDP-43
