Combined Jun and Ddit3 deficiency does not attenuate loss of RGCs after NMDA insult. (A) Representative images showing TUJ1 immunolabeled cells in the GCL of Jun and Ddit3 deficient (Junfl/flDdit3−/−; Six3-cre+) mice 7 days after intravitreal NMDA or PBS injection. Significant RGC loss occurred in wildtype (Jun+/?Ddit3+/?; Six3-cre) as well as Jun and Ddit3 deficient mice after NMDA insult (n = 3 for PBS WT, n = 3 for NMDA WT, n = 4 for PBS Jun+/?Ddit3+/?; Six3-cre, n = 5 for NMDA Jun+/?Ddit3+/?; Six3-cre). (B) Quantification of TUJ1+ RGCs confirmed that Jun and Ddit3 deficient mice had a similar loss of RGCs compared to wildtype mice 7d after NMDA injection (*p < 0.001 comparing PBS to NMDA; p = 0.8582 between WT and Junfl/flDdit3−/−; Six3-cre+ NMDA, ns between genotypes). Scale bar: 50 μm.
