Cell Lines Or Primary Cells
Animal Model PDGF/α-syn transgenic mouse model of PD/DLB; non-transgenic mice also used for uptake controls
Administration Route intraperitoneal injection, twice weekly for 4 weeks
Output Type α-syn knockdown, neuronal protection, reduced neuroinflammation
Output Value Reduced α-syn immunoreactivity by ~65–70% in neocortex, ~40–50% in hippocampus, and ~50–55% in striatum; ameliorated NeuN neuronal loss and TH fiber loss; reduced GFAP/Iba1 neuroinflammation
Output Units
Output Notes FITC-siα-syn delivered across BBB to neurons and astrocytes; co-localized with α-syn-accumulating neurons
Toxicity Notes No observable CNS toxicity stated for siα-syn delivery; study noted no TH loss/inflammation from partial knockdown
