Whole-Retina Reduced Electrophysiological Activity in Mice Bearing Retina-Specific Deletion of Vesicular Acetylcholine Transporter. by Jake Bedore, Amanda C Martyn, Anson K C Li, Eric A Dolinar, Ian S McDonald, Stuart G Coupland, Vania F Prado, Marco A Prado, Kathleen A Hill

“…The current study investigates the effects of disrupting cholinergic signalling in mice, through deletion of vesicular acetylcholine transporter (VAChT) in the developing retina, pigmented epithelium, optic nerve and optic stalk, on electrophysiology and structure of the mature retina.A combination of electroretinography, optical coherence tomography imaging and histological evaluation assessed retinal integrity in mice bearing retina- targeted (embryonic day 12.5) deletion of VAChT (VAChTSix3-Cre-flox/flox) and littermate controls at 5 and 12 months of age. …”

Posttranslational modifications of proteins in diseased retina by Christopher R. Starr, Marina S. Gorbatyuk

“…Recent breakthroughs in protein purification strategies and current proteome technologies make it possible to identify the proteomics of healthy and diseased retinas. Despite these advantages, the research field identifying sets of posttranslationally modified proteins (PTMomes) related to diseased retinas is significantly lagging, despite knowledge of the major retina PTMome being critical to drug development. …”

Sphingolipids as Emerging Mediators in Retina Degeneration by M. Victoria Simón, Facundo H. Prado Spalm, Marcela S. Vera, Nora P. Rotstein

“…The sphingolipids ceramide (Cer), sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), sphingosine (Sph), and ceramide-1-phosphate (C1P) are key signaling molecules that regulate major cellular functions. Their roles in the retina have gained increasing attention during the last decade since they emerge as mediators of proliferation, survival, migration, neovascularization, inflammation and death in retina cells. …”

Molecular mechanisms of NMDA excitotoxicity in the retina by Galina Dvoriantchikova, Michelle Fleishaker, Dmitry Ivanov

“…Meanwhile, decreased activity of the pro-inflammatory TNF signaling cascade and decreased levels of ferrous iron (Fe2+, required for free radical production) led to significant neuroprotection in NMDA-treated retinas. Since increased TNF signaling activity and high Fe2+ levels trigger regulated necrosis, which, in turn, lead to inflammation, we proposed an important role in NMDA excitotoxicity of a positive feedback loop in which regulated necrosis promotes inflammation, which subsequently triggers regulated necrosis.…”
