Preventing retinal detachment-associated photoreceptor cell loss in Bax-deficient mice.

Abstract:

PURPOSE:To characterize photoreceptor cell apoptosis and cell loss in a mouse model of experimental retinal detachment (RD), and to use the technology of mouse genetics to study the molecular mechanisms underlying RD-associated photoreceptor degeneration. METHODS:Retinal detachments were created in adult wild-type and Bax-deficient mice by subretinal injection of 1.4% sodium hyaluronate. At 1, 3, 7, and 28 days after injection, animals were killed, eyes enucleated, and retinal sections studied by histochemistry, immunofluorescence labeling, and confocal microscopy. Rods and cones were labeled, and apoptotic cells were identified with terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL). Photoreceptor cell apoptosis and cell loss were assessed quantitatively by counting both surviving and TUNEL-positive rods and cones. RESULTS:TUNEL-positive cells were found within the outer nuclear layer (ONL) of the detached portions of the retina. They were detected in the detached retina on day 1, peaked on day 3, and dropped precipitously after day 7 after RD. Photoreceptor cell loss of both rods and cones followed a similar time course after RD. Moreover, deletion of the proapoptotic gene Bax in a knockout mouse model abolished the RD-associated photoreceptor cell degeneration. CONCLUSIONS:Apoptosis is a major mechanism leading to photoreceptor cell death after RD. Blockage of the activity of the proapoptotic molecule Bax in a knockout mouse model prevents photoreceptor cell apoptosis and cell loss. These data suggest that the Bax-mediated apoptotic signaling pathway plays a critical role in RD-associated photoreceptor cell death.
