OBJECTIVE
To characterize a model of optic nerve axonal degeneration induced by tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and to determine the role of nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB p65 in axonal degeneration.
METHODS
Groups of rats were euthanatized at 1 day, 1 or 2 weeks, or 1 or 2 months after intravitreal
Calbindin-D28K is a calcium-binding protein in neuronal cytoplasm, which has the capability to protect neurons from degeneration. It was reported that glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) increased calbindin-D28K expression in dopaminergic neurons in vitro. It was observed in our
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and inflammatory cascades participate in the pathology of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The effect of estrogens on the development of AMD is poorly understood, although many studies indicate that these compounds can modulate inflammatory responses. In this study,
