Knocking down of microglial Cav1.2 exacerbated the reduction in the spontaneous activity and deficits in motor functions in the MPTP model of PD. (ac) Analyses of the ratio (post-MPTP/pre-MPTP) of the number of rears (a), forelimb steps (b), and hindlimb steps (c) in the cylinder test. (dg) Results of the challenging beam traversal test performed after MPTP administration. (d) Number of errors in the total length. (e) Errors per step in the total length (1 m) of the beam. (f) Error numbers in each width of the beam (3.5 cm, 2.5 cm, 1.5 cm, and 0.5 cm). (g) Errors per step in each width. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 by Welch’s t-test (a,c) or by a Student’s t-test (d,e) or a Tukey-Kramer test (f,g). The numbers shown in the columns in all the panels represent the number of mice analysed.
