To illustrate the underlying mechanism how (also known as ) mutation contribute to progressive photoreceptor degeneration.
A CRISPR-mediated knockout (Prom1-KO) mice model in the C57BL/6 was generated and the photoreceptor degeneration phenotypes by means of structural and functional tests were demonstrated. Immunohistochemistry and immunoblot analysis were performed to reveal the localization and quantity of related outer segment (OS) proteins.
The Prom1-KO mice developed the photoreceptor degeneration phenotype including the decreased outer nuclear layer (ONL) thickness and compromised electroretinogram amplitude. Immunohistochemistry analysis revealed impaired trafficking of photoreceptor OS proteins. Immunoblot data demonstrated decreased photoreceptor OS proteins.
deprivation causes progressive photoreceptor degeneration. is essential for maintaining normal trafficking and normal quantity of photoreceptor OS proteins. The new light is shed on the pathogenic mechanism underlying photoreceptor degeneration caused by mutation.
阐明(也称为)突变导致进行性光感受器退化的潜在机制。
构建了C57BL/6背景下CRISPR介导的敲除(Prom1-KO)小鼠模型,并通过结构和功能测试证实了光感受器退化表型。进行免疫组织化学和免疫印迹分析以揭示相关外段(OS)蛋白的定位和数量。
Prom1-KO小鼠出现光感受器退化表型,包括外核层(ONL)厚度降低和视网膜电图振幅受损。免疫组织化学分析显示光感受器OS蛋白的运输受损。免疫印迹数据表明光感受器OS蛋白减少。
缺失导致进行性光感受器退化。对于维持光感受器OS蛋白的正常运输和正常数量至关重要。为突变引起的光感受器退化的致病机制提供了新的线索。
