Forskolin attenuates retinal inflammation in diabetic mice
The present study aimed to investigate the effect of forskolin on retinal inflammation under diabetic conditions. C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into normal control, diabetic control and forskolin treatment groups. The diabetic model was established by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin. The forskolin treatment group received intragastrical administration of forskolin for 12 weeks,...
متن کاملDifferential gene expression in Ndph-knockout mice in retinal development.
PURPOSE Mutations in the NDP gene impair angiogenesis in the eyes of patients diagnosed with a type of blindness belonging to the group of exudative vitreoretinopathies. This study was conducted to investigate the differential gene expression caused by the absence of Norrin (the NDP protein) in the developing mouse retina and to elucidate early pathogenic events. METHODS A comparative gene ex...
متن کاملRetardation of retinal vascular development in apelin-deficient mice.
OBJECTIVE Apelin is an endogenous ligand for the G protein-coupled receptor, APJ, and participates in multiple physiological processes. To identify the roles of endogenous apelin, we investigated the phenotype of apelin-deficient (apelin-KO) mice. METHODS AND RESULTS Apelin-KO mice showed impaired retinal vascularization and ocular development, which were analyzed by histology, immunohistoche...
متن کاملLaminins and retinal vascular development
The mechanisms controlling vascular development, both normal and pathological, are not yet fully understood. Many diseases, including cancer and diabetic retinopathy, involve abnormal blood vessel formation. Therefore, increasing knowledge of these mechanisms may help develop novel therapeutic targets. The identification of novel proteins or cells involved in this process would be particularly ...
متن کاملIron-mediated retinal degeneration in haemojuvelin-knockout mice.
Haemochromatosis is a genetic disorder of iron overload resulting from loss-of-function mutations in genes coding for the iron-regulatory proteins HFE (human leucocyte antigen-like protein involved in iron homoeostasis), transferrin receptor 2, ferroportin, hepcidin and HJV (haemojuvelin). Recent studies have established the expression of all of the five genes in the retina, indicating their im...
