PURPOSE: This study investigated the changes in gene expression in retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) following ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) treatment to elucidate the underlying mechanisms contributing to its neuroprotective effects.
METHODS: RGCs isolated from Sprague-Dawley rat pups were treated with recombinant CNTF. Gene expression was analyzed via microarray. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were defined as those with a fold change greater than 2 or less than -2. The DEGs were further explored using Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analyses.
RESULTS: Our analysis identified 71 upregulated and 58 downregulated genes. A2m exhibited the highest increase, with a fold change of 4.97, whereas Rho displayed the most significant decrease in expression, with a fold change of -6.38. GO and KEGG pathway analyses revealed substantial involvement in sensory organ development and the phototransduction pathway.
CONCLUSIONS: This study provides new insights into the impact of CNTF on gene expression in RGCs, suggesting broader neuroprotective mechanisms that could inform future therapeutic strategies for retinal degenerative diseases. Our findings emphasize the importance of further investigation into the complex gene network responses to CNTF treatment.
