Associations of Retinal Ganglion Cells with chemical compounds

  • A subset of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells transduce information about ambient lighting conditions to areas of the brain involved in tasks including entrainment of the circadian clock, pupillary light reflexes and melatonin synthesis [27].
  • Whereas PNS neurons in culture are intrinsically responsive to peptide trophic factors, retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) are not unless they are depolarized, or their intracellular levels of cyclic AMP (cAMP) are elevated [28].
  • Early regenerative responses induced by monoclonal antibodies directed against a surface glycoprotein of goldfish retinal ganglion cells [29].
  • Each of these polypeptides incorporated 32P when retinal ganglion cells were radiolabeled in vivo with [32P]orthophosphate and each cross-reacted with monoclonal antibodies specifically directed against phosphorylated epitopes on NF-H [30].
  • We report here that an identified population of central neurons, rat retinal ganglion cells, are resistant to the neurotoxic effects of millimolar concentrations of glutamate under otherwise normal culture conditions [31].
