Transcriptomics analysis reveals adaptive changes of hibernating retinas in 13-lined ground squirrel
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Hibernation is a seasonally adaptive strategy that allows hibernators to live through extreme cold condition and was viewed as a highly regulated physiological event. In spite of the profound reduction of blood flow to retina, hibernation causes no lasting retinal injury and hibernators show increased tolerance to ischemic insults during hibernation period. To understand the molecular changes of retina in response to hibernation we applied transcriptomic analysis to explore the changes of gene expression of 13-lined ground squirrel retinas during hibernation.
