研究目的
Investigating the role of NRF2 in Sig1R-mediated retinal photoreceptor protection in vitro and in vivo, specifically testing the hypothesis that modulation of NRF2 is central to Sig1R-mediated cone rescue.
研究成果
Activation of Sig1R increases NRF2 activity and expression, attenuating oxidative stress and rescuing cone photoreceptors in rd10 mice, but this rescue is absent in NRF2-deficient mice, indicating that NRF2 is essential for Sig1R-mediated neuroprotection. This reveals a novel relationship between Sig1R and NRF2 in retinal disease.
研究不足
The study is limited to specific cell lines (661W) and mouse models (rd10, nrf2-/-), which may not fully represent human conditions. The mechanisms of Sig1R-NRF2 interaction are not fully elucidated, and in vivo results are based on a single dosage and treatment regimen. Potential areas for optimization include exploring other Sig1R ligands and broader genetic backgrounds.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study used in vitro experiments with 661W cone cells and in vivo experiments with rd10 and rd10/nrf2-/- mice to investigate Sig1R activation effects on NRF2 and oxidative stress. Methods included cell viability assays, immunodetection, qRT-PCR, western blotting, KEAP1-NRF2 binding assays, NRF2-ARE binding assays, siRNA transfection, ERG, SD-OCT, and histological analyses.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
661W cone cells were used as an in vitro model. Mice included rd10 (B6.CXBI-Pde6βrd10/J) and nrf2-/- mice on a C57BL/6 background. Data were sourced from cell cultures and animal models.

3. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials: Equipment included fluorescence microscopes (Axioplan-2, Carl Zeiss), plate readers (Synergy H1 Hybrid Multi-Mode, BioTek Synergy 2), luminometers (Lmax11384, Molecular Devices), ERG apparatus (custom-made with Psychlab EEG8 amplifier, National Instruments NI-6229 digitizer), SD-OCT system (Bioptigen Envisu R2200), and confocal microscopes (Zeiss LSM 780). Materials included DMEM, FBS, antibodies (e.g., anti-Sig1R, anti-NRF2), assay kits (e.g., KEAP1-NRF2 inhibitor screening assay kit, TransAM NRF2 kit), and chemicals like (+)-PTZ and tBHP.
4:0). Materials included DMEM, FBS, antibodies (e.g., anti-Sig1R, anti-NRF2), assay kits (e.g., KEAP1-NRF2 inhibitor screening assay kit, TransAM NRF2 kit), and chemicals like (+)-PTZ and tBHP. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
4. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow: Cells were cultured and treated with (+)-PTZ or tBHP. Viability was assessed using MTT assay. Immunodetection, qRT-PCR, and western blotting were performed to measure protein and gene expression. Binding assays used fluorescence polarization and luciferase reporters. In vivo, mice were treated with (+)-PTZ and subjected to ERG, SD-OCT, and histological analyses post-euthanasia.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Data were analyzed using GraphPad Prism and Igor Pro software. Statistical tests included t-tests, ANOVA with post-hoc tests (Holm-Bonferroni, Tukey's, Newman-Keul's). Fluorescence intensity was quantified with NIH ImageJ.
