Single cell analysis of gene expression in the substantia nigra pars compacta of a pesticide-induced mouse model of Parkinson’s disease
2022-02-19
Abstract excerpt
Exposure to pesticides in humans increases the risk of Parkinson’s disease (PD), but the mechanisms remain poorly understood. To elucidate these pathways, we dosed C57BL/6J mice with a combination of the pesticides maneb and paraquat (MNPQ). Behavioral analysis revealed motor deficits consistent with PD. Single cell RNA sequencing of substantia nigra pars compacta revealed both cell-type specific genes and genes e...
