Caspase-3 inhibitor reduces apototic photoreceptor cell death during inherited retinal degeneration in tubby mice.
PURPOSE The tubby mouse, previously suggested as an animal model for the human Usher Syndrome type I, was used in an analysis of pathophysiological processes leading to the inherited retinal degeneration, also shown in Usher syndrome patients. To evaluate pathogenic mechanisms causing retinal degeneration in tubby mice, we examined the time course of apoptotic photoreceptor cell death. Apoptoti...
متن کاملCatalytic Nanoceria Are Preferentially Retained in the Rat Retina and Are Not Cytotoxic after Intravitreal Injection
Cerium oxide nanoparticles (nanoceria) possess catalytic and regenerative radical scavenging activities. The ability of nanoceria to maintain cellular redox balance makes them ideal candidates for treatment of retinal diseases whose development is tightly associated with oxidative damage. We have demonstrated that our stable water-dispersed nanoceria delay photoreceptor cell degeneration in rod...
متن کاملNanoceria Inhibit the Development and Promote the Regression of Pathologic Retinal Neovascularization in the Vldlr Knockout Mouse
Many neurodegenerative diseases are known to occur and progress because of oxidative stress, the presence of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in excess of the cellular defensive capabilities. Age related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy (DR) and inherited retinal degeneration share oxidative stress as a common node upstream of the blinding effects of these diseases. Knockout of the...
متن کاملNon-toxic retention of nanoceria in murine eyes
PURPOSE We have shown that cerium oxide nanoparticles (nanoceria), with unique characteristics and catalytic activities, are retained in the retina for more than 1 year after a single intravitreal injection and can be potentially used for the treatment of a variety of eye diseases. The objective of this study is to determine whether the retention of nanoceria in the eye causes inflammation or a...
متن کاملPhotoreceptor rescue of pigment epithelium-derived factor-impregnated nanoparticles in Royal College of Surgeons rats
PURPOSE To investigate the protective effect of intravitreal injection of pigment epithelium-derived factor-impregnated nanoparticles (PEDF-NPs) against photoreceptor degeneration in Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) rats. METHODS Three-week-old RCS rats received an intravitreal injection of PBS, blank NPs, PEDF (2.5 μg), or PEDF-NPs (2.5 μg). Eyes were assessed with morphological, immunohistoc...
