Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the present study, we used DBA/2J mice as a glaucoma model. First, we measured intraocular pressure (IOP) in DBA/2J mice at several time points and we checked IOP was high in almost all DBA/2J. Moreover, we performed histopathological analysis using retinal sections and flat-mount retinal specimens and functional gene expression analysis in retina, at several time points (two, 4, 6, 8, and 10 months after birth). We also performed gene therapy study using 2-month-old DBA/2J mice. Now, we assess the therapeutic efficacy via retrograde labeling analysis of retinal ganglion cell.
