摘要: Abstract Mutations in the photoreceptor cell-specific nuclear receptor gene Nr2e3 increased number of S-cone photoreceptors human and murine retinas led to retinal degeneration that involved non-photoreceptor cells. The mechanisms underlying these complex phenotypes remain unclear. In hope understanding precise role cell fate determination differentiation, we generated a line knockout zebrafish using CRISPR technology. Nr2e3-null animals, rod precursors undergo terminal mitoses but fail differentiate as rods. Rod-specific genes are not expressed outer segment (OS) fails form. Formation differentiation cone is normal. Specifically, there no increase UV-cone or photoreceptors. Laminated structure maintained. After normal development, L-/M-cones selectively degenerate, with progressive shortening OS starts at age 1 month. amount phototransduction proteins concomitantly reduced, whereas UV- S-cones have lengths even 10 months. vitro studies show synergizes Crx Nrl enhance rhodopsin expression. does affect opsin Our results extend knowledge Nr2e3's roles specific implications for interpretation observed retinas. Furthermore, our model may offer new opportunities finding treatments enhanced syndrome (ESCS) other degenerative diseases.
