研究KCNT1GOF变体 (Y777H) 对不同小鼠皮层神经元亚型的神经元生理学的影响.
阐明由自体主导的KCNT1GOF突变引起的DEE背后的致病机制.
模拟离子通道变异如何影响神经元功能和连接.

主要方法:

在小鼠皮层神经元中Kcnt1-Y777H变体的异构表达 (谷氨酸,GABAergic,包括VIP,SST和PV亚型).
电生理学记录以评估KNa电流和神经元刺激性 (基,动作潜能发射频率).
突触连接的计算建模和分析 (刺激输入,化学和电突触).

主要成果:

该KCNT1-Y777H变体增加了体静止素 (SST) 和蛋白 (PV) 神经元中的KNa电流,但不是谷氨酸或VIP神经元.
SST神经元变得低兴奋性 (较高的基,较低的发射速度),而PV神经元变得过度兴奋性 (较低的基,较高的发射速度).
不同效应与PV神经元中持续电流的增加和SST神经元中激发性输入/连接的增强有关.

Pleiotropy

Pleiotropy

Pleiotropy is the phenomenon in which a single gene impacts multiple, seemingly unrelated phenotypic traits. For example, defects in the SOX10 gene cause Waardenburg Syndrome Type 4, or WS4, which can cause defects in pigmentation, hearing impairments, and an absence of intestinal contractions necessary for elimination. This diversity of phenotypes results from the expression pattern of SOX10 in early embryonic and fetal development. SOX10 is found in neural crest cells that form melanocytes,...

Pharmacogenetics of Drug Transporters: P-Glycoprotein and Solute Carrier Transporters

The pharmacogenetics of drug transporters is increasingly recognized as a critical factor influencing interindividual variability in drug absorption, distribution, and elimination. These membrane-bound proteins regulate drugs' movement across cellular barriers by actively pumping them out (efflux) or facilitating their uptake (influx). Among the major transporter families, ATP-binding cassette (ABC) and solute carrier (SLC) transporters play particularly prominent roles. Genetic polymorphisms...
