Angiopoietin-1 Knockout Mice as a Genetic Model of Open-Angle Glaucoma
18 Mar 2020
Abstract excerpt
Purpose: conditional knockout mice may provide one such model. Angiopoietin/TEK (ANGPT/TEK) signaling is crucial for SC formation and integrity in mice and humans, and mice lacking TEK or its ligand ANGPT1 develop a hypomorphic SC insufficient for normal aqueous humor outflow. Methods: inducible knockout mice, especially focusing on retina morphology and function. Results: deletion resulted in persistent ocular...
