Retinal Ly6Clow Mo/MΦ protect optic nerve against injury
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We investigate the therapeutic effect of mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles (MSC-sEVs), a potent immune-modulating therapy for tissue regeneration, in repairing optic nerve damage. Intraocular administration of MSC-sEVs promotes both RGC survival and axon regeneration against optic nerve crush injury. Mechanistically, MSC-sEVs recruits a neural restorative population of hematogenous Ly6Clow monocyte/monocyte-derived macrophage (Mo/MΦ). Gain-of-function by intravitreal administration of the donor Ly6Clow Mo/MΦ markedly improves neurological outcomes in vivo. We then performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of 4 different cells at two time points.
