Chloride channel protein 2 prevents glutamate-induced apoptosis in retinal ganglion cells
Objective(s): The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of chloride channel protein 2 (ClC-2) in glutamate-induced apoptosis in the retinal ganglion cell line (RGC-5). Materials and Methods: RGC-5 cells were treated with 1 mM glutamate for 24 hr. The expression of ClC-2, Bax, and Bcl-2 was detected by western blot analysis. Cell survival and apoptosis were measured by 3-(4,5-dimeth...
متن کاملMechanisms and distribution of ion channels in retinal ganglion cells: using temperature as an independent variable.
Trains of action potentials of rat and cat retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) were recorded intracellularly across a temperature range of 7-37 degrees C. Phase plots of the experimental impulse trains were precision fit using multicompartment simulations of anatomically reconstructed rat and cat RGCs. Action potential excitation was simulated with a "Five-channel model" [Na, K(delayed rectifier), Ca...
متن کاملStem Cells in Glaucoma Management
Glaucoma is the leading cause of preventable blindness worldwide. Despite tremendous advances in medical and surgical management of glaucoma in the recent years, the prevalence of glaucoma related blindness is anticipated to increase in the future decades because of the aging population. Stem cells have the potential to change the glaucoma management in several ways. There are several areas of ...

متن کامل[Progress in electrophysiological studies of retinal ganglion cells].
The knowledge about electrophysiological properties of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), as well as modulation of these properties, is important not only for understanding the unique physiological functions of RGCs under normal conditions, but also for exploring the cellular mechanisms of retinal neurodegeneration diseases, such as glaucoma. In this paper, we reviewed the progress in electrophysio...
