In these, our cells are used as "healthy controls" to study Diabetic Retinopathy.
Figure: Connexin43 (green) and GFAP (red) expression in normal and human DR donor retinas in regions of extensive vascular damage. Large cells (white arrows, left column) represent non-specific auto-fluorescent amacrine cells. Connexin43 expression was markedly higher in the GCL of DR donor tissues compared to age-matched controls, and was strongly expressed throughout all retinal layers. GFAP labeling was also markedly higher in DR compared to normal donor eyes representing hyper-reactive Müller cells. Connexin43 expression was increased in regions identified as blood vessels and correlated with increased GFAP labeling at these sites, indicating glial cell activation (white circle). GCL = ganglion cell layer; IPL = inner plexiform layer; INL = inner nuclear layer; OPL = outer plexiform layer; ONL = outer nuclear layer. Scale bar: 200 µm
