Retinal development anomalies and cone photoreceptors degeneration upon Bmi1 deficiency
Retinal development occurs through the sequential but overlapping generation of six neuronal and one glial cell types. Of these, rod and cone photoreceptors represent the functional unit of light detection and phototransduction and are frequently affected in retinal degenerative diseases. During mouse development, the Polycomb group protein Bmi1 is expressed in immature retinal progenitors and ...
متن کاملCone inputs to murine retinal ganglion cells
Responses of single retinal ganglion cells in different areas of mouse retina were studied to determine their cone inputs, using spectral sensitivity functions and chromatic adaptation. Spectral sensitivity curves were based on threshold response criteria to full field stimulation. The retina of the mouse was viewed through a dilated pupil with a surgical microscope. Ganglion cells were classif...
متن کاملPhagocytosis of retinal rod and cone photoreceptors.
Photoreceptor cells maintain a roughly constant length by continuously generating new outer segments from their base while simultaneously releasing mature outer segments engulfed by the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Thus postmitotic RPE cells phagocytose an immense amount of material over a lifetime, disposing of photoreceptor cell waste while retaining useful content. This review focuses o...
متن کاملUltrastructural Study of Cadmium Effects on Photoreceptors and Ganglionic Cells of Retinal Layer in Mice Embryo
Purpose: In this study, TEM was used to asses the ultra structural effects of Cd on Photoreceptor and Ganglionic cells of mouce retinal layer. Materials and Methods: 30 mice hi1Vebeen used in three groups (experimental I, II & control). On 9th day of gestation, experimental groups have received a single IP injection of Cadmium- chlorid (Cd C12) solution in saline, 3 mg/kg and 5 mg/kg respectiv...
متن کاملHistochemical study of retinal photoreceptors development during pre- and postnatal period and their association with retinal pigment epithelium
Objective(s):The aim of this study was to evaluate distribution and changes of glycoconjugates of retinal photoreceptors during both pre- and postnatal development. Materials and Methods: Tissue sections from days 15 to 20 of Wistar rat embryos and 1 to 12 postnatal days of rat newborns including developing eye were prepared for lectinhistochemistry technique. Horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-label...
