Single-nucleus RNA sequencing dataset of diverse tissues from wild-type monkey and Tau-P301L transgenic monkey
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Utilizing non-human primates to study the role of human Tau and its related pathologies is logical and important due to their closer similarity to human brain structure and function. In our earlier research, we generated a transgenic cynomolgus monkey model expressing Tau (P301L) through lentiviral infection of monkey embryos. These monkeys exhibited age-dependent neurodegeneration and motor dysfunction. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is a powerful and promising technique for elucidating the cellular complexity and pathology across different tissues. However, single-cell data from non-human primate models of Tau pathology are currently nonexistent. In this study, we performed single-nuclei RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) on the hippocampus, striatum, and spinal cord of Tau (P301L) monkey, providing the first single-cell atlas of multiple tissue regions in a non-human primate model that simulates human tauopathies. This will offer crucial data references for cross-species single-cell level studies of tau and its related pathologies.
