- W2014855145 abstract "Mutations in the β-subunit of the cGMP phosphodiesterase gene (βPDE) can cause photoreceptor degeneration leading to blindness in humans, dogs, and mice. Since intravitreal administration of trophic factors has been shown to reduce photoreceptor death in the Royal College of Surgeons rat and the light overexposure models of photoreceptor degeneration, we have tested the possibility of rescuing photoreceptors in the rd mouse using ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF). Following intravitreal injection of an adenoviral vector encoding a ngf/cntf fusion gene into one eye of rd/rd mice, many strong CNTF-immunoreactive profiles are detected in various cell types of the injected eyes. Semiquantitative analysis of the corresponding retinae reveals that the photoreceptor-containing layer (outer nuclear layer, or ONL) retains significantly more rows of photoreceptor nuclei than that of eyes treated with a control (LacZ) vector, or untreated, for at least 18 days after vector administration (the longest survival time analyzed). A smaller, but significant, protective effect was also seen 9 days after intravitreal injection of recombinant CNTF. Because apoptotic cell death has been shown to be the common terminal fate of photoreceptors in the rd mouse and many other animal models of retinitis pigmentosa, these results suggest the possibility that administration of neurotrophic factors may prove beneficial in reducing photoreceptor loss in multiple forms of retinitis pigmentosa. Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a heterogenous group of human inherited retinopathies characterized by the progressive loss of night vision and restriction of the visual field. Although a wide spectrum of electroretinographic abnormalities have been described for different mutations, loss of the light-transducing photoreceptor cells in the retina is a common denominator. Such a loss is also encountered in the rd mouse, which suffers from a mutation inactivating an important component of the light transduction chain, a component also found mutated in some human families affected from RP. We show here that virus-mediated delivery of a trophic factor to the retina of the rd mouse can significantly delay photoreceptor loss. Although this treatment does not correct the genetic defect, it may help prevent further deterioration of a reduced, but useful vision. We suggest that this issue deserves further attention." @default.
