RNA interference of GADD153 protects photoreceptors from endoplasmic reticulum stress-mediated apoptosis after retinal detachment.

BACKGROUND: Apoptosis of photoreceptors plays a critical role in the vision loss caused by retinal detachment (RD). Pharmacologic inhibition of photoreceptor cell death may prevent RD. This study investigated the role of GADD153 that participates in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-mediated apoptos...
