Xanthohumol Protects Morphology and Function in a Mouse Model of Retinal Degeneration
Purpose To investigate whether treatment with xanthohumol (XN), the principal prenylated chalconoid from Humulus lupulus (hops), is protective in a mouse model of light-induced retinal degeneration (LIRD). Methods Mice (129S2/SvPasCrl) were intraperitoneally injected with vehicle or XN prior to toxic light exposure and every 3 days thereafter. Retinal function was assessed by electroretinogra...
متن کاملRetinal structure and function preservation by polysaccharides of wolfberry in a mouse model of retinal degeneration
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a heterogeneous group of inherited disorders caused by mutations in a variety of genes that are mostly expressed by rod cells, which results in initial death of rod photoreceptors followed by gradual death of cone photoreceptors. RP is currently untreatable and usually leads to partial or complete blindness. Here, we explored the potential neuroprotective effects of...
متن کاملGcn5 loss-of-function accelerates cerebellar and retinal degeneration in a SCA7 mouse model.
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 7 (SCA7) is a neurodegenerative disease caused by expansion of a CAG repeat encoding a polyglutamine tract in ATXN7, a component of the SAGA histone acetyltransferase (HAT) complex. Previous studies provided conflicting evidence regarding the effects of polyQ-ATXN7 on the activity of Gcn5, the HAT catalytic subunit of SAGA. Here, we report that reducing Gcn5 expressi...
متن کاملGene editing in photoreceptor progenitors prevents visual function loss in a mouse model of retinal degeneration
Purpose:Currently, there is no known cure for Retinitis pigmentosa (RP). Even if some treatments can slow down the progression of the disease, none of them can effectively stop retinal degeneration. We exploited the possibility of an early intervention in photoreceptor progenitors aiming at preventing cell death. For our purpose, we selected the Rd10 mouse model, which carries a point mutation ...
