Abstract

Selective degeneration of rod photoreceptor cells in the retinal degenerative (rd) mouse prior to their complete maturation is thought to result from elevated cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) levels owing to the inherited defect in cGMP-phosphodiesterase. To investigate potential signaling pathways which might lead to apoptotic death of photoreceptors in the rd retina, the expression of immediate-early genes (IEG) of the activating protein-1 transcription factor (AP-1) family was examined. Increasing numbers of apoptotic photoreceptor nuclei were observed in the outer nuclear layer of the rd mouse beginning at postnatal day (P) 10. The peak incidence of apoptotic cells was observed at P13; by P16, almost the entire population of photoreceptors had been lost. Although c-Fos-like immunoreactivity was absent in photoreceptors of normal retinas, we observed that commencing at around P10, increasing numbers of rod photoreceptors in the rd retina exhibited nuclear staining for c-Fos protein. While no change in the distribution patterns of other members of the AP-1 family (c-Jun, JunB, and JunD) was observed in photoreceptors, Müller cell nuclei were transiently immunoreactive for c-Jun on P11. The incidence of c-Fos-positive pho...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
