Compensatory synaptotagmin-11 expression conceals parkinson’s disease-like phenotypes in parkin knockout mice by Nan Dong, Zhenli Xie, Anqi Wei, Yuxin Yang, Yongning Deng, Xu Cheng, Bianbian Wang, Yang Chen, Yuhao Gu, Jingyu Yao, Yuhao Qin, Chaowen Zheng, Xi Zhang, Yuqing Zhang, Xinjiang Kang, Guoqing Chen, Qiumin Qu, Changhe Wang, Huadong Xu

“…Here, we provide compelling evidence that the compensatory expression of synaptotagmin-11 (Syt11) plays a key role in concealing PD-associated phenotypes in parkin knockout (KO) mouse models. Unlike the normal dopamine (DA) release and motor behaviors observed in parkin KO mice, parkin knockdown (KD) in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) in adult mice led to both the impaired DA release and the pronounced motor deficits. …”

Mechanism of abnormal specification of spermatogonial stem cells after Rb1 knockout in mitotic-arrested prospermatogonia by CHEN Xinling, CHEN Xinling, LONG Yixuan, DU Guihua, DU Guihua

“…Objective‍　‍To investigate the underlying mechanism of abnormal specification of spermatogonial stem cells （SSCs） in male mice following Rb1 conditional knockout in mitotic-arrested prospermatogonia. Methods‍　‍① R language was used to analyze the single-cell RNA sequencing （scRNA-seq） data of prospermatogonia derived from postnatal day 0.5 （P0.5） male mice through the gene expression omnibus （GEO） public database （accession number： GSE124904）. ② Mitoti-arrested prospermatogonia Rb1 conditional knockout （cKO） mice as well as Rb1 cKO mice with Id4-gfp transgene were generated using Vasa-Cre mice crossed with Rb1flox/flox or Id4-gfpTg；Rb1flox/flox mice. …”
