Stimulus-evoked intrinsic optical signal (IOS), which occurs almost immediately after the onset of retinal stimulus has been observed in retinal photoreceptors, promises to be a unique biomarker for objective optoretinography (ORG) of photoreceptor function. We report here the first-time ORG detection of photoreceptor dysfunction due to retinal degeneration. A custom-designed optical coherence tomography (OCT) was employed for longitudinal ORG monitoring of photoreceptor-IOS distortions in retinal degeneration mice. Depth-resolved OCT analysis confirmed the outer segment (OS) as the physical source of the photoreceptor-IOS. Comparative ERG measurement verified the phototransduction activation as the physiological correlator of the photoreceptor-IOS. Histological examination revealed disorganized OS discs, i.e. the pathological origin of the photoreceptor-IOS distortion.
刺激诱发的内在光学信号(IOS)几乎在视网膜刺激开始后立即出现在视网膜光感受器中,有望成为用于光感受器功能客观视网膜电图(ORG)的独特生物标志物。我们在此报告首次对视网膜变性导致的光感受器功能障碍进行ORG检测。采用定制设计的光学相干断层扫描(OCT)对视网膜变性小鼠的光感受器IOS畸变进行纵向ORG监测。深度分辨OCT分析证实外段(OS)是光感受器IOS的物理来源。比较性视网膜电图测量验证了光转导激活是光感受器IOS的生理相关因素。组织学检查揭示了OS盘紊乱,即光感受器IOS畸变的病理起源。
