Knock down and overexpress SGIP1 in oligodendrocytes; measure LRRK2 kinase activity (pT73-Rab10) and lysosome position 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
LRRK2 kinase activity (pT73-Rab10) and lysosome position
Functional readout
α-synuclein uptake and myelin basic protein output under oxidative stress
Rule-out
If neither arm moves LRRK2 kinase activity (pT73-Rab10) 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 SGIP1 in iPSC-derived oligodendrocytes; n = 3 differentiations; readouts: LRRK2 kinase activity (pT73-Rab10) and lysosome position; 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.

Swarm cases

receipt 2116: SGIP1 in dopamine neurons, braak

power
full sample +0.26 (p 0.298, n 18), 95% CI -0.24 to +0.65. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
confounder
adjusted for sex: +0.26 (p 0.306, n 18). does not hold up.
composition
dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.05 (p 0.854); controlling for it: +0.19 (p 0.450, n 18). could be the mix.
skeptic
leave-one-out range +0.17 to +0.40, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors +0.26 (p 0.298, n 18). fragile.
cell type
no other cell group does better.
axis
no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for SGIP1 in dopamine neurons.

case closed: nothing better to follow up.

receipt 2115: SGIP1 in oligodendrocytes, braak

confounder
adjusted for sex: +0.30 (p 0.228, n 18). does not hold up.
composition
oligodendrocytes share of nuclei vs axis +0.03 (p 0.915); controlling for it: +0.41 (p 0.089, n 18). could be the mix.
skeptic
leave-one-out range +0.24 to +0.49, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors +0.33 (p 0.176, n 18). fragile.
cell type
