TL;DR

Alation of Nrf2 exacerbates age-related declines suggesting that decrease in Nrf2 with aging has functional consequences for inflammation/resiliency.

Aging Differentially Remodels the Retina and RPE/Choroid Proteome and Metabolism

Purpose The neural retina and retinal pigment epithelium/choroid (RPE/Cho) are metabolically coupled. Metabolic dysfunction of the RPE/Cho contributes to photoreceptor death in age-related macular degeneration (AMD). This study aimed to determine how aging, a major risk factor for AMD, alters the proteome and metabolic...

The MTRNR2L gene family and age-related macular degeneration

Findings suggest that MTRNR2L genes participate in coordinated stress-adaptive programs and may mirror humanin’s cytoprotective and immunomodulating actions in RPE protection and AMD progression.

The A53T Parkinson’s Disease Mouse Model Shows Abnormal Outer Retinal OCT Metabolic Biomarker Patterns

Purpose The purpose of this study was to test for abnormal optical coherence tomography (OCT) metabolic biomarker patterns in the A53T Parkinson's disease model, which accumulates α-synuclein in photoreceptor inner segments before overt motor symptoms. Methods Four-to-6-month-old transgenic A53T homozygous mice and B6C...

OCT Biomarker Testing for Early Dysregulated Photoreceptor Metabolism in Dark-Reared Pde6brd10 Mice

Purpose The purpose of this study was to noninvasively test the hypothesis that dysregulated photoreceptor metabolism occurs with early retinal degeneration in dark-reared Pde6brd10 mice. Methods Postnatal day 23 (P23) phosphodiesterase (PDE) mutant (Pde6brd10) mice, P23 wild-type (WT) mice were continuously dark-reare...

A New Omics View of Retinal Aging: Cell-Type Vulnerability, Spatial Niches, and Disease Susceptibility.

Classical accounts of retinal aging emphasize oxidative, mitochondrial, inflammatory, vascular, proteostatic, and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)-centered mechanisms. Omics studies now confirm and refine this non-uniformity, showing that aging-associated signals vary by cell type, anatomical niche, molecular layer, an...

Csf1-Csf1r expression and late circulating CSF1 elevation during P23H retinal degeneration.

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is accompanied by retinal oxidative stress and neuroinflammation, but whether local retinal stress is associated with detectable circulating molecular changes remains unclear. Using RhoP23H/+ mice at postnatal days 40, 90, and 240, we combined electroretinography, hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)-b...
