Cytocholosin D Disrupts Outer Segment Disc Morphogenesis In Situ in Rabbit Retina
نویسندگان
چکیده
Exposure of rabbit retina to cytochalasin D (CD) via a single intraocular injection results in basal rod outer segment (ROS) and cone OS (COS) discs with abnormally large diameters; the overgrown OS membranes extend along either the cell outer or inner segment. Twenty-four hours after the injection, basal ROS and COS discs appear to have recovered their normal diameter, indicating the reversibility of this drug's effect. These data support both the evagination hypothesis for disc morphogenesis and the hypothesis that f-actin's role at the ROS base is to regulate the initiation of membrane evagination and disc diameter.

متن کاملLack of protein-tyrosine sulfation disrupts photoreceptor outer segment morphogenesis, retinal function and retinal anatomy.
To investigate the role(s) of protein-tyrosine sulfation in the retina, we examined retinal function and structure in mice lacking tyrosylprotein sulfotransferases (TPST) 1 and 2. Tpst double knockout (DKO; Tpst1(-/-) /Tpst2 (-/-) ) retinas had drastically reduced electroretinographic responses, although their photoreceptors exhibited normal responses in single cell recordings. These retinas ap...
متن کاملMaintenance of opsin density in photoreceptor outer segments of retinoid-deprived rats.
Dietary deficiency in the retinoid precursors of the visual pigment chromophore 11-cis-retinal eventually results in selective degeneration of the photoreceptor cells of the vertebrate retina. Early effects of retinoid deficiency are depletion of rhodopsin from the retina and vesiculation of the photoreceptor outer segment disc membranes. Experiments were conducted to determine whether these ea...
متن کاملThe Ciliopathy Gene ahi1 Is Required for Zebrafish Cone Photoreceptor Outer Segment Morphogenesis and Survival
Purpose Joubert syndrome (JBTS) is an autosomal recessive ciliopathy with considerable phenotypic variability. In addition to central nervous system abnormalities, a subset of JBTS patients exhibit retinal dystrophy and/or kidney disease. Mutations in the AHI1 gene are causative for approximately 10% of all JBTS cases. The purpose of this study was to generate ahi1 mutant alleles in zebrafish a...
متن کاملBBSome function is required for both the morphogenesis and maintenance of the photoreceptor outer segment
Genetic mutations disrupting the structure and function of primary cilia cause various inherited retinal diseases in humans. Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a genetically heterogeneous, pleiotropic ciliopathy characterized by retinal degeneration, obesity, postaxial polydactyly, intellectual disability, and genital and renal abnormalities. To gain insight into the mechanisms of retinal degenerat...
