| Research Abstract |
DNA damage response (DDR) includes DNA repair, cell cycle checkpoint and apoptosis. In this study, we showed that under hypoxia, some DDR molecules were involved in retinal ganglion cell (RGC) death. 53BP1, ATM, NF-kB and mono-methylation of histone H4K20 coordinate primary cultured rat RGC survival in cultured RGC. 53BP1 nuclear foci were decreased in rat optic nerve crush model. Prostaglandin F2 alpha analog latanoprost prevents RGC death under hypoxia with mono-methylation of histone H4K20 and 53BP1 nuclear foci. The findings will be useful in development of new therapy for glaucomatous optic neuropathy.
