Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 9. Effects on rd10 mice treated with NAP1051. rd10 mice treated with NAP1051 from p15 to p26 showed ONL preservation on OCT (arrows) and H&E on p26 (A). NAP1051 was able to preserve ONL thickness (B) and PR counts (C). OCT-FAF showed NAP1051 reduced hyperpigmentation on p26 (D,E). Correlations between the ONL PR counts and FAF hyperpigmentation were evaluated and demonstrated a negative linear correlation (R2 = 0.9) where fewer hyperpigmentation spots were correlated to increased ONL PR nuclei (F). Retinal PAD4 immunofluorescence staining was reduced for animals treated with 37.5 mg/kg/BID (G) corresponding with reduced retinal H3Cit, but not to a statistically significant level (H). The oxidative stress marker malondialdehyde (MDA) was statisti- cally significantly reduced at the 37.5 mg/kg/BID dosage (I). Data represented as median ± 95% CI, * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, Kruskal–Wallis test with Dunn’s correction. The number of PRs in the ONL and hyperpigmentation spots seen in FAF were enumerated using ImageJ/FIJI (ver 2.3.0).
Article Snippet: PAD4 rabbit anti-mouse primary antibody (Proteintech, Sankt Leon-Rot, Germany, Cat. # 17373-1-AP), H3Cit polyclonal rabbit anti-mouse (Abcam, Cambridge, UK, Cat. # ab5103), and MDA polyclonal rabbit anti-mouse (Abcam, Cambridge, UK, Cat. # ab27642) primary antibodies were diluted in blocking buffer and added to each retina and incubated overnight at 4 ◦C.
