| Research Abstract |
In this research, we showed that the degree of proliferation of Muller glia after retinal damage was significantly less in B6 mice compared to other mouse strains. Furthermore, addition of GSK3 inhibitor did not affect the proliferation of Muller glia in the damaged retina from B6 mice, whereas GSK3 inhibitor significantly increased the number of proliferative Muller glia in other mouse strains. By comparing the genome-wide gene expression in retinas after damage between B6 and other mouse strain, we found that the expression patterns of chromosome remodeling factors and components of innate immune system were different associating with the proliferation of Muller glia.
