متن کاملCaspase-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 کاملExpression of Bcl-2 protects against photoreceptor degeneration in retinal degeneration slow (rds) mice.
The retinal degeneration slow or rds gene encodes rds/peripherin, an integral membrane glycoprotein in the outer segments of rod and cone photoreceptors. Mice homozygous for a null mutation in rds fail to develop outer segments and undergo subsequent degeneration of photoreceptors by the apoptotic pathway. Mutations in the human RDS gene are responsible for several forms of inherited blindness ...
متن کاملDefining the Catalytic Activity of Nanoceria in the P23H-1 Rat, a Photoreceptor Degeneration Model
PURPOSE Inorganic catalytic nanoceria or cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeNPs) are bona fide antioxidants that possess regenerative radical scavenging activities in vitro. Previously, we demonstrated that CeNPs had neuroprotective and anti-angiogenic properties in rodent retinal degeneration and neovascularization models. However, the cellular mechanisms and duration of the catalytic activity of C...
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...
