Summary

Primary cilia are key sensory organelles whose dysfunction leads to ciliopathy disorders such as Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS). Retinal degeneration is common in ciliopathies, since the outer segments (OSs) of photoreceptors are highly specialized primary cilia. BBS...

Microarray analysis of postnatal NrlGFP-expressing rod photoreceptor precursors. NrlGFP positive versus NrlGFP negative at postnatal day 4
ORGANISM(S): Mus musculus 
We have used surgical specimens to perform a differential analysis of the transcriptome of human retinal tissues following detachment. Data analysis reveals major involvement of the immune response in the disease and interindividual variation was monitored to unravel a second crucial aspect of the p...

Mutation of rod photoreceptor-enriched transcription factors is a major cause of inherited blindness. We identified the orphan nuclear hormone receptor ERRβ as selectively expressed in rod photoreceptors. Overexpression of ERRβ induces expression of rod-specific genes in retinas of both wildtype ...

To isolate photoreceptor precursors fit for transplantation, we adapted a 3D differentiation protocol that generates neuroretina from mouse ES cells. We used an adeno-associated viral vector (pseudotype2/9)carrying a GFP reporter under the control of a Rhodopsin promoter (AAV2/9.Rhop.GFP)to select r...

The method of mRNA tagging was recently developed to isolate mRNA population from muscle tissues in Caenohabditis elegans. This method utilizes a FLAG-tagged poly(A)-binding protein (PABP), which can bind to poly(A)-tail of eukaryotic mRNA. Thus, the mRNA population from specific tissue, in which FL...

Human cone photoreceptors represent a rare cell population of the human retina and are largely outnumbered by other retinal cell types. Despite their rarity, cone photoreceptors are critical for optimal daylight vision and their loss has the greatest impact on sight during the progression of retinal...

Intraocular anti-VEGFA injections are frequently used to counteract neovascularization in diseases such as the neovascular (wet) form of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) or proliferative diabetic retinopathy. However, in the clinical context, patients with atrophic (dry) and wet AMD in the sam...

Rod and cone photoreceptors in mammalian retina are generated from common pool(s) of neuroepithelial progenitors. NRL, CRX and NR2E3 are key transcriptional regulators that control photoreceptor differentiation. Mutations in NR2E3, a rod-specific orphan nuclear receptor, lead to loss of rods, incr...

We report RNA-Seq experiments of whole eye tissues from C57BL/6J background mice at 1.5 h and 9.0 h after light onset to better understand photoreceptor phagocytosis Examine ocular tissue from mice at different time points
