Proteomic Study of Retinal Proteins Associated with Transcorneal Electric Stimulation in Rats
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background. To investigate how transcorneal electric stimulation (TES) affects the retina, by identifying those proteins up- and downregulated by transcorneal electric stimulation (TES) in the retina of rats. Methods. Adult Wistar rats received TES on the left eyes at different electrical currents while the right eyes received no treatment and served as controls. After TES, the eye was enucleated and the retina was isolated. The retinas were analyzed by proteomics. Results. Proteomics showed that twenty-five proteins were upregulated by TES. The identified proteins included cellular signaling proteins, proteins associated with neuronal transmission, metabolic proteins, immunological factors, and structural proteins. Conclusions. TES induced changes in expression of various functional proteins in the retina.

Neuroprotective effect of transcorneal electrical stimulation on the acute phase of optic nerve injury.
PURPOSE Traumatic optic neuropathy often induces a loss of vision that proceeds rapidly within several hours, together with retinal ganglion cell death, in a much slower time course. Electrical stimulation has previously been shown to rescue injured retinal ganglion cells from cell death. The present study tests whether transcorneal electrical stimulation could preserve visual function after an...
متن کاملRetinal ganglion cell response properties in the transcorneal electrically evoked response of the visual system
To identify the retinal origin of a cortical evoked potential elicited by transcorneal electrical stimulation of the visual system (EER), the response properties of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) of cats to transcorneal electrical stimuli were studied. The discharge latency of RGCs to transcorneal stimulation had two peaks with a high temporal resolution. The latency of early components of the E...

PURPOSE Transcorneal electrical stimulation (TES) has been beneficial in several neurodegenerative ocular diseases, but the exact mechanisms remain to be elucidated. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of TES on the retinas of wild-type Brown Norway (BN) rats by gene expression profiling and to assess its effects on retinal function and morphology. METHODS TES was applied to B...
متن کاملTranscorneal electrical stimulation rescues axotomized retinal ganglion cells by activating endogenous retinal IGF-1 system.
PURPOSE To investigate the effect of transcorneal electrical stimulation (TES) on the survival of axotomized RGCs and the mechanism underlying the TES-induced neuroprotection in vivo. METHODS Adult male Wistar rats received TES after optic nerve (ON) transection. Seven days after the ON transection, the density of the surviving RGCs was determined, to evaluate the neuroprotective effect of TE...
