IF LAMTOR1 is overexpressed in cortical neurons of 5xFAD Alzheimer's disease model mice via AAV9-mediated gene delivery at 3 months of age (pre-symptomatic), THEN mitochondrial-lysosomal colocalization (measured by TOM20-LAMP1 proximity ligation assay) will increase by ≥30% and cognitive performance
Predicted outcome: Increased mitochondrial-lysosomal coupling (≥30% colocalization increase) and improved spatial memory retention (≥20% improvement in probe trial laten
Falsification: No statistically significant change in mitochondrial-lysosomal coupling (p>0.05) OR no improvement in cognitive performance (p>0.05) compared to vector controls at 4 months post-treatment

IF LAMTOR1 expression is reduced by ≥60% via siRNA in human iPSC-derived cortical neurons subjected to chronic oxidative stress (100 μM H2O2 for 7 days), THEN neuronal survival will decrease by ≥40% and mitochondrial membrane potential (TMRE fluorescence) will decline by ≥35% compared to siRNA-scram
Predicted outcome: Reduced neuronal viability (≥40% increase in cell death) and impaired mitochondrial function (≥35% TMRE signal reduction)
Falsification: No statistically significant reduction in neuronal survival (p>0.05) OR no change in mitochondrial membrane potential (p>0.05) following LAMTOR1 knockdown under oxidative stress
