Knock down and overexpress SEPTIN7 in oligodendrocytes; measure phospho-ERK and phospho-AKT response to GDNF and α-synuclein uptake and myelin basic protein output under oxidative stress.

Cell type
oligodendrocytes
Direction
Both arms: public data does not say which way helps.
Molecular readout
phospho-ERK and phospho-AKT response to GDNF
Functional readout
α-synuclein uptake and myelin basic protein output under oxidative stress
Rule-out
If neither arm moves phospho-ERK by 20% or more against non-targeting and empty-vector controls, across three independent differentiations, the hypothesis is wrong.
Lab request
CRISPRi knockdown and lentiviral overexpression of SEPTIN7 in iPSC-derived oligodendrocytes; n = 3 differentiations; readouts: phospho-ERK and phospho-AKT response to GDNF; α-synuclein uptake and myelin basic protein output under oxidative stress. Controls: non-targeting guide, empty vector. About 8 to 10 weeks, most of it differentiation.

Sealed predictions

  2. SEPTIN7 in dopamine neurons, braakn/a → n/areceipt 10987

Swarm cases

receipt 10987: SEPTIN7 in dopamine neurons, braak

cell type
SEPTIN7 is not measured in dopamine neurons; looking elsewhere.
cell type
no other cell group does better.
axis
no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for SEPTIN7 in dopamine neurons.

case closed: nothing better to follow up.
