Abstract

PURPOSE: To evaluate changes in the rods and amacrine cells and horizontal cells in human retinas with retinitis pigmentosa. METHODS: Seven retinas from patient donors with retinitis pigmentosa and 14 age- and postmortem-matched normal human retinas were processed for immunocytochemistry and confocal microscopy. The following cell-specific antibodies were used: anti-rhodopsin (rods), anti-gamma-aminobutyric acid (amacrine cells), anticalbindin (cones and horizontal cells), anti-glial fibrillary acidic protein (astrocytes and reactive Müller cells), and anti-synaptophysin and anti-SV2 (synaptic vesicles). RESULTS: In retinal regions with significant photoreceptor loss, the rods, gamma-aminobutyric acid-positive amacrine cells, and calbindin-positive horizontal cells had undergone neurite sprouting. The rod, amacrine and horizontal cell neurites were associated with the surfaces of glial fibrillary acidic protein-immunoreactive Müller cells. Most rod neurites that projected into the inner retina contacted the somata of gamma-aminobutyric acid-positive amacrine cells. CONCLUSIONS: Rods, amacrine and horizontal cells undergo neurite sprouting in human retinas with retinitis pigmentosa. These changes in the retinal neurons may contribute to the electroretinographic abnormalities and progressive decline in vision noted by patients with retinitis pigmentosa. These alterations may also complicate strategies for treatment of retinitis pigmentosa.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
