shRNA knockdown of guanylate cyclase 2e or cyclic nucleotide gated channel alpha 1 increases photoreceptor survival in a cGMP phosphodiesterase mouse model of retinitis pigmentosa

In vertebrate rods, dark and light conditions produce changes in guanosine 3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP) and calcium (Ca(2+)) levels, which are regulated by the opposing function of several proteins. During the recovery of a bright flash, guanylate cyclase (GUCY) helps raise cGMP to levels that...
