Ischemia–reperfusion (IR) leads to significant retinal damage. (A) Transient retinal ischemia was induced for 45 min by increasing intraocular pressure (IOP, 120 mm Hg). (B) Ischemic and normotensive retinas collected 6 and 24 h after reperfusion were used for RNA-seq analysis. Retinas collected 7 days after reperfusion were used to study RGC survival. (C) The representative confocal images indicate significant RGC death (Tubb3 as a marker) and reactive gliosis (Gfap and Cd11b as markers) in ischemic retinas 7 days after reperfusion.
