Tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) mRNA expression in the neuroretina. TNF-α mRNA expression levels in the neuroretina of sham-operated eyes were compared to eyes subjected to ischemia followed by 5 h (n=4) and 12 h (n=8) of reperfusion (I-R), assessed by real-time PCR. The mRNA levels were calculated relative to the housekeeping gene Actb. Results are expressed as the number of times by which the TNF-α mRNA increased in the neuroretina from ischemia-reperfusion eyes compared with the sham-operated eyes (mean±SEM). Statistical analysis was performed using paired Student ratio t test with the Bonferroni correction.
