The role of a lens survival pathway including sox2 and αA-crystallin in the evolution of cavefish eye degeneration
BACKGROUND: The teleost Astyanax mexicanus is a single species consisting of eyed surface-dwelling (surface fish) and blind cave-dwelling (cavefish) morphs. Cavefish eyes are lost through apoptosis of the lens, which in turn promotes the degeneration of other optic tissues. The αA-crystallin (αA-cry...
