🧪 Overview
Mutant HTT expression in NG2+ glial progenitors impairs their differentiation and homeostatic function, contributing to medium spiny neuron vulnerability. Transplanting wild-type progenitors or enhancing endogenous glial support may protect MSNs, though neuronal mHTT appears sufficient for disease.
🧬 Mechanism
No curated mechanism pathway recorded for this hypothesis.
⚖️ Evidence
⚖️ Evidence Matrix3 supports4 contradicts
Contradicts
Selective deletion of mHTT from neurons rescues HD phenotypes in YAC128 mice
Contradicts
NG2+ cell density changes occur in many neurodegenerative diseases, not HD-specific
Contradicts
Transplanted cells may rescue via paracrine trophic support rather than cell-intrinsic correction
