Protective role of Wallerian degeneration slow (Wlds) gene against retinal ganglion cell body damage in a Wallerian degeneration model
Nerve distal axon injury-induced Wallerian degeneration is significantly delayed in Wallerian degeneration slow (Wld(s)) mutant mice, although the associated mechanisms are not completely clear and the role of Wld(s) in retinal ganglion cell (RGC) body damage is not fully understood. In the present study, a Wallerian degeneration model was established in wild-type (WT) and Wld(s) mutant mice by...
متن کاملRetinal ganglion cell axonal compression by retinal vessels in light-induced retinal degeneration
PURPOSE To analyze the damage produced by light in mydriatic and miotic albino retinas under two different sources of light. METHODS Albino Sprague Dawley female rats were exposed to 3,000 lx during 48 h under two different light sources: linear and circular bulbs. Before exposure, their left pupils were dilated. Before and at different times after light exposure (ALE), electroretinographic s...
متن کاملRetrograde degeneration of retinal ganglion cells in homonymous hemianopsia
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to demonstrate the relationship between topographic reduction in macular ganglion cell complex (GCC) thickness as detected with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography and visual field defects caused by ischemic occipital cortical injury. METHODS This study was a retrospective review of all patients who presented to our eye institution between January...
متن کاملRetinal Ganglion Cells Lose Trophic Responsiveness after Axotomy
Whereas PNS neurons in culture are intrinsically responsive to peptide trophic factors, retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) are not unless they are depolarized, or their intracellular levels of cyclic AMP (cAMP) are elevated. We show here that depolarization increases cAMP in cultured RGCs sufficiently to enhance their responsiveness and that the trophic responsiveness of developing RGCs in intact re...
متن کاملEffects of GDNF on retinal ganglion cell survival following axotomy
Recent evidence suggests that approximately 90% of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) die by the process of apoptosis within 14 days of optic nerve transection. RGCs begin to disappear from the retina between 5 and 7 days postaxotomy when the highest percentage of RGCs show characteristics typical of apoptosis. A single intraocular injection of glial cell-line derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) give...
