Experimental Glaucoma and Optic Nerve Transection Induce Simultaneous Upregulation of Proapoptotic and Prosurvival Genes
24 May 2006
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To investigate changes in gene expression induced by elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) and complete optic nerve transsection (ONT) over time. METHODS: A gene array of 18 signal transduction pathways was used to examine the changes in RNA profiles of retinas post-ONT in rats. Among the seven genes that were determined to be upregulated, four were confirmed to have higher expression by semiquantitative...
