This validation experiment used siRNA-mediated AMPK knockdown to confirm the role of the AMPK/mTOR pathway in regulating astrocyte autophagy. Researchers transfected astrocytes with AMPK siRNA and analyzed the downstream effects on mTOR phosphorylation and autophagy markers. The experiment demonstrated that AMPK knockdown promoted mTOR phosphorylation and suppressed autophagy in astrocytes, validating the mechanistic pathway identified in the iPSC-NPC studies. This experiment served as a complementary approach to confirm that the AMPK/mTOR axis is indeed responsible for the anti-autophagic effects observed with iPSC-NPC treatment.
