Establishment and visual analysis of CBA/J-Pde6bY347Y/Y347X and C3H/HeJ-Pde6bY347Y/Y347X mice.

Abstract excerpt

In CBA/J and C3H/HeJ mice, retinitis pigmentosa is inherited as an autosomal-recessive trait due to a mutation in Pde6b, which encodes cGMP phosphodiesterase subunit b. In these strains, the Y347X mutation in Pde6b leads to the upregulation of cGMP levels, increased Ca2+ influx induces rod death, and the outer segment and rod cells entirely disappeared by 35 days after birth. In the present study, we utilized the...
