Research Abstract

Myopia is a common ocular status in Japanese population, whose prevalence seems to be more than 40%. High myopia, also known as pathologic myopia, is one of the top vision threatening diseases in Northeastern Asian countries. It was reported that the neural signal enhancing myopia is originated at the inner layer of retina, but it is not clear which cell type has a largest contribution for the myopic signal. In this study, mouse ganglion cell was dissociated and enriched with flow-cytometry (FACS), and the extracted RNA was optimized for RNA Seq, performed with next generation sequencer (NGS). This approach can be applied for experimental myopic mice for revealing the pathomechanism of myopia.
