Research Abstract

It has been reported that granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) provides neuroprotection in models inducing neuronal cell death. The present study was designed to investigate the effects of G-CSF on neurodegeneration of the inner retinal layer in a rat model of ischemic-reperfusion (I/R) injury. In conclusion, our results demonstrated that the systemic injection of G-CSF can protect retinal ganglion cells (RGC) and inner retinal layers from I/R injury. The effects could be associated with the activation of AKT.
