Gene Expression Analysis of Photoreceptor Cell Loss in<i>Bbs4</i>-Knockout Mice Reveals an Early Stress Gene Response and Photoreceptor Cell Damage
25 Jun 2007
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To identify and characterize gene expression changes associated with photoreceptor cell loss in a Bbs4-knockout mouse model of retinal degeneration. METHODS: Differential gene expression in the eyes of 5-month-old Bbs4(-/-) mice undergoing retinal degeneration were analyzed using gene microarrays (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA). Elevated ocular transcripts were confirmed by Northern blotting of RNA from...
