Chronic bead injection and acute ONC injuries result in profound RGC loss and retinal thinning. (a–d). RBPMS expression was identified within the RGC layer, with the average number of RBPMS-expressing RGCs significantly decreased following bead injection and ONC compared to controls. (e) Bead injected and ONC retinas also demonstrated a significant decrease in the number of DAPI-positive nuclei within the RGC layer compared to controls. Error bars represent S.E.M. Scale bars equal 100 µm. Statistical differences were determined using a One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post hoc with 95% confidence. (*p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001). n = 6 retinas were analyzed per group, with 4 cross sections and numerous technical replicates per cross section. Cross sections contained both nasal and temporal parts, with technical replicates including areas from both the central and peripheral retina.
