Knock down and overexpress SLC25A32 in oligodendrocytes; measure oxygen consumption rate and ATP output 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
oxygen consumption rate and ATP output
Functional readout
α-synuclein uptake and myelin basic protein output under oxidative stress
Rule-out
If neither arm moves oxygen consumption rate 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 SLC25A32 in iPSC-derived oligodendrocytes; n = 3 differentiations; readouts: oxygen consumption rate and ATP output; 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 14985: SLC25A32 in dopamine neurons, braak

cell type
SLC25A32 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 SLC25A32 in dopamine neurons.

case closed: nothing better to follow up.

receipt 14984: SLC25A32 in oligodendrocytes, braak

power
full sample +0.29 (p 0.235, n 18), 95% CI -0.20 to +0.67. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
confounder
adjusted for sex: +0.32 (p 0.201, n 18). does not hold up.
composition
oligodendrocytes share of nuclei vs axis +0.03 (p 0.915); controlling for it: +0.32 (p 0.201, n 18). could be the mix.
skeptic
leave-one-out range +0.19 to +0.44, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors +0.29 (p 0.235, n 18). fragile.
cell type
no other cell group does better.
axis
no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for SLC25A32 in oligodendrocytes.

case closed: nothing better to follow up.
