Title INFLAMMATION OF THE RETINAL PIGMENT EPITHELIUM DRIVES EARLY-ONSET PHOTORECEPTOR DEGENERATION IN MERTK-ASSOCIATED RETINITIS PIGMENTOSA
Organism Mus musculus
Experiment type Expression profiling by high throughput sequencing
Summary Severe, early-onset photoreceptor (PR) degeneration associated with MERTK mutations is thought to result from failed phagocytosis by retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Notwithstanding, the severity and onset of PR degeneration in mouse models of Mertk ablation is determined by the hypomorphic expression or the loss of the Mertk paralog Tyro3. Here we find that loss of Mertk and reduced expression/loss of Tyro3 led to RPE inflammation, even before eye-opening. Incipient RPE inflammation cascaded to involve microglia activation and PR degeneration with monocyte infiltration. Inhibition of RPE inflammation with the JAK1/2 inhibitor ruxolitinib mitigated PR degeneration in Mertk -/- mice. Neither inflammation nor severe, early-onset PR degeneration were observed in mice with defective phagocytosis alone. Thus, inflammation drives severe, early-onset PR degeneration-associated with Mertk loss of function.
 
Overall design (C57BL/6, Tyro3-/-V1 and Mertk-/-V2Tyro3-/-V2 ) and (WT129 and Itgb5-/-) RPE were collected at post-natal day 25 (1 hour after light onset) and processed for RNA sequencing
