Single cell RNAseq of 12-week old AKIMBA versus WT mouse retina

ABSTRACT: Single-cell RNA sequencing was performed on retinal tissue from 12-week-old wild-type and Akimba (Ins2AkitaxVEGF+/-) mice, which are known to replicate features of clinical diabetic retinopathy. The aim of this study was to provide deeper insight into the complex network of molecular and cellular changes that underlie diabetic retinopathy by measuring the transcriptional changes that occur in the different cellular compartments of the degenerating diabetic mouse retina. Retinas (n=4 for Akimba, n=2 for wild-type) were isolated in ice-cold Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium. After rinsing with Dulbecco’s Phosphate-Buffered Saline containing 2% fetal bovine serum, each retina was incubated with 1mL digestion buffer (2mg/mL collagenase-P, 200U/mL DNAse-I (Sigma-Aldrich) in M199 medium (Life Te
