We explored both the acute and chronic stages of retinal injury by assessing functional, structural, and molecular changes. C57BL/6 mice were used to measure scotopic and photopic electroretinograms (ERGs) and to analyze TUNEL-positive retinal cells. Global retinal proteomics was conducted to identify common and unique signaling pathways. In addition, we performed targeted metabolomic and lipidomic analyses of retinal tissue to uncover significant metabolic changes. Our results demonstrated remarkable declines in ERG amplitudes at 2 and 4 weeks post-exposure, accompanied by an increase in TUNEL<sup>+</sup> retinal cells in response to DOE to both VSs. Our proteomic analysis revealed chronic oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, elevated RXR signaling, and increased levels of 28 proteins. Moreover, we observed a decline in the KEGG phototransduction pathways, along with the downregulation of photoreceptor-specific proteins, in response to both VSs. Consistent with the proteomic findings, targeted metabolomics identified a decline in phototransduction and steroid hormone biosynthesis, along with increases in D-amino acid and purine metabolism, as well as lysine degradation. These changes were associated with a GSSG/GSH ratio of 2.6, confirming the proteomic data on oxidative stress. Furthermore, lipidomic analysis revealed an increase in oxidative lipid levels, accompanied by a 3.4-fold increase in phosphatidylserine (PS), suggesting apoptotic cell death and a reduction in fatty acids (FAs). In conclusion, exposure to both VSs induced progressive retinal damage, altering major metabolic pathways and dysregulating lipid metabolism. Future studies should focus on identifying the responses of individual neuronal cell types to DOE to VSs to develop cell-specific countermeasures.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12177,"journal":{"name":"Experimental eye research","volume":"257 ","pages":"Article 110414"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144071216","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Gold nanoparticles represent a promising strategy for improving drug delivery to the eye, but they can be difficult to track in biological systems.

Following corneal alkali burns, m6A levels were elevated, while the expression of METTL3, FTO, and YTHDF2 was reduced. In HCECs stimulated with IL-1β, m6A levels were significantly increased, and the expression of FTO and YTHDF2 was decreased. Silencing METTL3 and YTHDF2 enhanced the proliferation and migration of HCECs by increasing HSP70 expression, thereby facilitating corneal epithelial healing.

The retinal models to be covered are: <em>in vivo</em> systems (human and animal), <em>in vitro</em> organisms (cell lines, primary cells, patient-derived stem cells, microfluidics, organoids, and spheroids), ex vivo models (explant cultures and retinal tissue preparations), and in silico models (computational and mathematical). Moreover, the unique comprehension of models of retinal disease, advantages, and disadvantages will be scrutinized. Finally, innovations/improvements derived from models towards gene and pharmacological therapy that display promise for treating retinal illnesses are elucidated.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12177,"journal":{"name":"Experimental eye research","volume":"256 ","pages":"Article 110416"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143911953","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
