  • Damage of the retrograde axial flow of retinal ganglion cells in diabetic rats at the early stage

    Objective To observe whether theograde axial flow of retinal ganglion cells (RGC) in diabetic rats at the early stage was damaged. Methods Diabetic model was induced by streptozotocin in 6 adult male Sprague-Dawley (SD)rats. Fluorogold (FG) was injected to the superior colliculi 4 weeks later.Streched preparation of retina was made 12 and 72 hours after the injection, and was stained after photographed by fluorescent microscope. The proportion of RGC with different sizes labeled by FG was calculated. Other 6 normal adult male SD rats were in the control group. Results Twelve hours after injection with FG, there was no difference of the total number of RGC in experimental and control group, but the ratio of small RGC was lower in experimental group than that in the control group; 72 hours after injection with FG, The number of RGC, especially the small RGC, decreased obviously in experimental group compared with the control group. Conclusion The speed of the retrograde axial flow of RGC in diabetic rats at the early stage is affected, and the small RGC are damageable. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis, 2006, 22: 4-6)

  • Microglial activation and ganglion cells damages in the rat retina with early stage streptozotocin induced diabetes

    Objective To observe the relationship between retinal microglial activations and ganglion cell (RGC) damages in early-stage diabetic rats. Methods A total of 20 SpragueDawley(SD)rats were randomly divided into 4 groups (each with 5 rats): 1 month control group, 1 month diabetes group, 3 month control group, 3 month diabetes group. Diabetes was induced by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ). The RGCs of all rats were retrograde labeled by carbocyanine dye DiI injected at the superior colliculi.Microglial cells and RGCs in retinal flat-mounts and sections were stained immunohistochemically and recorded under confocal microscope.Results The diabetic microglial cells were amoeboid and ovoid with fewer processes on retinal flat mounts. The density of microglial cells which phagocytosed DiI particles in the RGC layer significantly increased in the 3month diabetes group(P<0.01). The density of microglial cells in the RGC layer significantly increased in the 1- and 3- month diabetes group(P<0.05). However there were more microglial cells in the RGC layer in the 3- month diabetes group than the 1-month diabetes group(P<0.0001). Significant correlation was found between the amount of microglial cells and that of RGCs in the early-stage of diabetes. Conclusions Microglial cell activation has close relationship with the RGC damages in early-stage diabetic rats.
