// The role of Grn in the development of mouse cochlear nucleus synapses
本研究探討前膠質素(Grn)在小鼠耳蝸核(CN)突觸發育中的作用|Grn缺失小鼠聽覺閾值與神經元數量正常,但突觸點密度和聽覺腦幹反應(ABR)第二波幅度顯著下降|結果顯示Grn對CN突觸功能關鍵,缺失則導致中樞聽覺突觸病變。
// This study investigated the role of progranulin (Grn) in mouse cochlear nucleus (CN) synapse development. Using Grn knockout and wild-type mice, auditory brainstem responses and immunofluorescence analyses showed that Grn deficiency did not affect hearing thresholds or neuron numbers but significantly reduced synaptic puncta density and ABR wave-II amplitudes. These findings reveal that Grn is crucial for synaptic function in the CN and that its loss leads to central auditory synaptopathy.
