Early Gene Expression Changes in the Retinal Ganglion Cell Layer of a Rat Glaucoma Model
4 Nov 2010
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To identify patterns of early gene expression changes in the retinal ganglion cell layer (GCL) of a rodent model of chronic glaucoma. METHODS: Prolonged elevation of intraocular pressure (IOP) was produced in rats by episcleral vein injection of hypertonic saline (N = 30). GCLs isolated by laser capture microdissection were grouped by grading of the nerve injury (<25% axon degeneration for early injury;...
