Transcriptomic Profiles of AKAP12 Deficiency in Mouse Corpus Callosum

A-kinase anchor protein 12 (AKAP12), a scaffold protein, has been implicated in the central nervous system, including blood-brain barrier (BBB) function. Although its expression level in the corpus callosum is higher than in other brain regions, such as the cerebral cortex, the role of AKAP12 in the...

Description
Summary:A-kinase anchor protein 12 (AKAP12), a scaffold protein, has been implicated in the central nervous system, including blood-brain barrier (BBB) function. Although its expression level in the corpus callosum is higher than in other brain regions, such as the cerebral cortex, the role of AKAP12 in the corpus callosum remains unclear. In this study, we investigate the impact of AKAP12 deficiency by transcriptome analysis using RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) on the corpus callosum of AKAP12 knockout (KO) mice. We observed minimal changes, with only 13 genes showing differential expression, including itself. Notably, and , genes potentially involved in BBB function, were downregulated in AKAP12 KO mice and expressed in vascular cells similar to . These changes in gene expression may affect important biological pathways that may be associated with neurological disorders. Our findings provide an additional data set for future research on the role of AKAP12 in the central nervous system.
