Knock down and overexpress SRXN1 in dopamine neurons; measure reactive oxygen species (CellROX) and lipid peroxidation and labile iron and survival of TH-positive neurons and phospho-α-synuclein (pS129) inclusions after seeding with α-synuclein fibrils.

Cell type
dopamine neurons
Direction
Both arms: public data does not say which way helps.
Molecular readout
reactive oxygen species (CellROX) and lipid peroxidation and labile iron
Functional readout
survival of TH-positive neurons and phospho-α-synuclein (pS129) inclusions after seeding with α-synuclein fibrils
Rule-out
If neither arm moves reactive oxygen species (CellROX) 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 SRXN1 in iPSC-derived midbrain dopamine neurons (FOXA2+, LMX1A+, TH+); n = 3 differentiations; readouts: reactive oxygen species (CellROX) and lipid peroxidation and labile iron; survival of TH-positive neurons and phospho-α-synuclein (pS129) inclusions after seeding with α-synuclein fibrils. Controls: non-targeting guide, empty vector. About 8 to 10 weeks, most of it differentiation.

Swarm cases

receipt 14807: SRXN1 in dopamine neurons, braak

cell type
SRXN1 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 SRXN1 in dopamine neurons.

case closed: nothing better to follow up.
