Primary hippocampal neuron cultures obtained from Sprague-Dawley rat embryos were infected with lentivirus expressing EGFP. Immunostaining with specific antibodies was performed on fixed neurons. Confocal and DNA-PAINT microscopy were used for imaging, and custom analysis methods were applied to analyze the acquired images. Statistical analyses were conducted using GraphPad PRISM.
The involvement of specific medium spiny neuro (MSN) subtype and of other striatal cell types remains poorly understood. To gain insight into cell type-specific disease processes, researchers studied the nuclear transcriptomes of 4524 cells from the striatum of a genetically precise knock-in mouse model of the Huntington's Disease (HD) mutation, HttQ175/1. Three 14-month-old and one 15-month-old male mice were used to generate the primary dataset.
