Figure 6. AAV2/8-FCBR1-F0.4-FAM161A protected the retina against degeneration.

Figure 6

(A) Quantification of ONL thickness throughout the whole retina revealed that the combination of HS + HL (n = 5) was the most efficient to rescue the retina in comparison to the GFP group (P varies from <0.05 to 0.0001) or the HL group (n = 5). The mean (gray line) and SD (dotted gray lines) of the ONL thickness in the WT retina are indicated as reference. A two-way ANOVA followed by a Tukey’s test to determine significant differences at specific locations between the FAM161A and GFP-treated eyes was performed. (B) The ONL thickness rescue by FCBR1-F0.4-FAM161A treatment was dependent on the density of FAM161A-positive CC. The highest FAM161A-positive CC density (nb of CC/200 μm) and the thicker ONL rescue were observed in the retina treated with the combination of FCBR1-F0.4-HS + FCBR1-F0.4-HL. One-way ANOVA followed by a Tukey’s test for multiple comparisons of all the groups. n = 5 eyes per group, and 13–22 regions of 200 µm per eye were analyzed. (C) The relation between CC density and ONL thickness can be described by a linear regression (plain line). The slope of FCBR1-F0.4-HL + HS linear regression (slope = 0.5267; R2 = 0.4467) is higher than the slope of FCBR1-F0.4-HL (slope = 0.1885; R2 = 0.2147) or FCBR1-F0.4-HS (slope = 0.3224; R2 = 0.5925) (P < 0.01).
