Mitochondrial Uncoupling Protein 2 Knockout Promotes Mitophagy to Decrease Retinal Ganglion Cell Death in a Mouse Model of Glaucoma
27 Feb 2019
Abstract excerpt
Glaucoma is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by mitochondrial dysfunction and an increase in oxidative damage, leading to retinal ganglion cell (RGC) death. The oxidative status of RGCs is regulated intrinsically and also extrinsically by retinal glia. The mitochondrial uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) relieves oxidative and neuronal damage in a variety of neurodegenerative disease models. We hypothesized...
