Long-term Survival of Retina Optic Nerve Section in Adult Ganglion Cells Following bcl-2 Transgenic Mice
The bcl‐2 gene codes for a protein that acts as a powerful inhibitor of active cell death. Since the transection of the optic nerve in adult mammalians starts a massive process of degeneration in retinal ganglion cells, we investigated whether the overexpression of bcl‐2 in adult transgenic mice can...

| description | The bcl‐2 gene codes for a protein that acts as a powerful inhibitor of active cell death. Since the transection of the optic nerve in adult mammalians starts a massive process of degeneration in retinal ganglion cells, we investigated whether the overexpression of bcl‐2 in adult transgenic mice can protect the axotomited ganglion cells. We performed intracranial optic nerve transection on both wild type and transgenic adult mice, and we tested cell survival 2 or 3.5 months after axotomy. The percentage of surviving ganglion cells after optic nerve section was computed by combining the counts of the optic nerve fibres in intact nerves with the cell density measures of the ganglion cell layer of axotomized retinae. From these data we found that in transgenic mice˜65% of ganglion cells survived 3.5 months after axotomy. In contrast, 2 months after surgery, |
