Description: Our research focus is to study the genetic etiology and molecular mechanisms of glaucoma, a disease characterized by death of the retinal ganglion cell. The QNR/D cells, the only well validated retinal ganglion cell line, are derived from the neuroretina of quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) embryos at 7 days gestation, and contain RGC (80%) and amacrine cell (20%) populations. With the aim of investigating the effect of candidate gene on glaucoma, the QNR/D cells were transfected in four different conditions. The RNA-Sequencing analysis on these transfected cell lines to identify the related proteins with differential expression profiles.
