BoNT/A Modulates Microglial Phagocytic Activity in the Hippocampus Revealed by Single-Cell RNA Sequencing
Listed in NCBI GEO
To investigate the impact of Botulinum Neurotoxin A (BoNT/A) on hippocampal cellular landscapes, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) on tissues from Saline-, MPTP-, and MPTP+BoNT/A-treated mice.
Description
We identified and annotated 10 major cell types through canonical marker gene expression. A focused sub-clustering analysis of microglia revealed 11 distinct subpopulations.
Notably, KEGG pathway enrichment analysis identified three subclusters (1, 3, and 5) as phagocytosis-related microglia, enriched in pathways such as lysosome, phagosome, and FcγR-mediated phagocytosis. Our findings demonstrate that BoNT/A plays a definitive role in modulating microglial phagocytic activity in the hippocampus.
