GCCNP and GCCNP laden hydrogel provide structurally rescue in light-induced Nrf2−/− mice retina degeneration. (A) Paraffin H&E histology studies exhibited 3 h 4500 lux damage treated by GCCNP and GCCNP laden hydrogel. (B) The Fundus and OCT images of Nrf2−/− mice. 3 h 4500 lux light exposure groups treated by 1 µg GCCNP, 1 µL hydrogel, or 1 µg GCCNP in 1 µL hydrogel by intravitreal injection. (C) The retina ONL thickness (n = 5) measured by OCT and averaged thickness of retina ONL in all the groups by 1, 5, and 10 weeks. ONL thickness was rescued with GCCNP with/without hydrogel. Distance from ONH: 1.7 mm. (One-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparison test, error bars indicate SEM n = 5, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001).
