Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: RP is a retinal degeneration disorder that is caused by mutations of various genes, including semaphorin-4A (SEMA4A). A number of retinal diseases, including RP, are associated with light exposure, oxidative stress, and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. In this study, we investigated whether mutant SEMA4A causes retinal dysfunction via light exposure, oxidative stress, and ER stress. METHODS: Mutant...
