Gene activity in colon cells of normal and Pink1-lacking mice

Abstract

A single-nucleus RNA sequencing dataset was generated from gut tissue of wild-type and Pink1 knockout mice.

  • Pink1 deficiency is associated with disruptions in mitophagy and gastrointestinal homeostasis.
  • Altered gut-to-brain signaling mechanisms may influence neurodegenerative processes linked to Pink1 mutations.
  • Major cell populations identified in the gut include goblet cells, immune cells, and colonocytes.
  • Transcriptional profiles of these cell populations were characterized, providing insights into their functions.
  • The dataset enables exploration of changes in cell-type composition and gene expression due to Pink1 loss.
