Abstract

Gliosis of retinal Muller glial cells may have both beneficial and detrimental effects on neurons. To investigate the role of purinergic signaling in ischemia-induced reactive gliosis, transient retinal ischemia was evoked by elevation of the intraocular pressure in wildtype (Wt) mice and in mice deficient in the glia-specific nucleotide receptor P2Y(1) (P2Y(1) receptor-deficient (P2Y1R-KO)). ...
