SUMMARY

Increased regulation of ROS Defense genes in Complex 4 of the mitochondrial ETC

Upward trend associated with number of CAG repeats in NPC qPCR results

Future plans: run Mouse Retina

Page 5: La Spada Lab Meeting 08.05.15

TECHNIQUES USED

DNA Cloning and Bacterial Transformation

PCR Amplification

Mitochondrial Morphometry and Total Fluorescence (Fiji, ImageJ Analysis and Microscope)

RNA Extraction/ cDNA Generation of mouse retina and SCA7 NPC cells

qPCR assays

BCA and Western Blot
