Abstract excerpt
Optineurin (OPTN) mutations are linked to glaucoma pathology and E50K mutation shows massive cell death in photoreceptor cells and retinal ganglion cells. However, little is known about E50K-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction in photoreceptor cell degeneration. We here show that overexpression of E50K expression triggered BDNF deficiency, leading to Bax activation in RGC-5 cells. BDNF deficiency induced...
