The proinflammatory cytokine TNFα and one of its cognate pathways, the NF-κB/NLRP3 inflammasome, are substantially upregulated and activated in the BXD32 mouse retina. Using immunolabeling for NF-κB p65 (red), NLRP3 (green), and TNFα (blue), the BXD32 mouse retina displays upregulated levels of all three proteins examined beginning as early as p63 (A) and continuing through p105 (B) and p168 (C), indicating a chronic proinflammatory retinal environment. Nuclei stained with DAPI (white/grey). RPE, retinal pigment epithelium; ROS/IS, rod outer segments/inner segments; ONL, outer nuclear layer; OPL, outer plexiform layer; INL, inner nuclear layer; IPL, inner plexiform layer; GCL, ganglion cell layer. Scale bars = 20 μm.
