nervous system
N |
• mice exhibit normal brain weight and whole-brain macroscopic morphology and coronal histology; no significant changes in cerebral cortex thickness or neuron intensity are observed
|
• immunohistochemistry revealed that signals of polyglutamylated tubulins are abolished in layer I as well as in the apical dendrites of cortical neurons in layer II/III
• a tubulin co-sedimentation assay showed that several microtubule-associated proteins and motor proteins (CLIP170, MAP1A, dynein, and KIF1A) are strongly reduced
|
• apical dendrites of cortical neurons in layer II/III show a markedly decreased number of neurofilaments, resulting in a significantly reduced diameter (thickness) of axonal dendritic shafts
|
• brain lysates show a significant reduction in both polyglutamylated alpha-tubulins and beta-tubulins
• however, the total amount of both tubulins is almost unchanged

homeostasis/metabolism
• in sagittal sections, GABA levels are moderately increased in the brain cortex, hippocampal formation, and cerebellum regions
• in coronal sections, GABA levels are significantly increased in the cortex
|
• in sagittal sections, glutamate levels are significantly increased in the brain, esp. in the cortex, hippocampal formation, and cerebellum regions
• in coronal sections, glutamate levels are significantly increased in the cortex
|
• in sagittal sections, glutamine levels are slightly increased in the brain cortex and moderately increased in the cerebellum, but not significantly changed in the hippocampal formation region
• in coronal sections, glutamine levels are significantly increased in the cortex
|
• in sagittal sections, leucine-isoleucine levels are moderately increased in the brain cortex and cerebellum and significantly increased in the hippocampal formation region
• in coronal sections, leucine-isoleucine levels are significantly increased in the cortex
|
• in sagittal sections, leucine-isoleucine levels are moderately increased in the brain cortex and cerebellum and significantly increased in the hippocampal formation region
• in coronal sections, leucine-isoleucine levels are significantly increased in the cortex
|
• in sagittal sections, valine levels are significantly increased in the brain cortex, hippocampal formation, and cerebellum regions
• in coronal sections, valine levels are significantly increased in the cortex
