| abstractText | PURPOSE: To assess the expression of Epiplakin1 (Eppk1) in the developing and adult mouse retina. METHODS: Eppk1 expression was examined using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RTPCR) analysis and immunoblot analysis. The Eppk1 expression pattern was examined by immunohistochemical analysis in embryonic and adult C57BL/6J mice. RESULTS: Both Eppk1 mRNA and protein were detected in adult mouse retina. Eppk1 was expressed in nestin-positive neural progenitor cells in the embryonic retina. In adults, Eppk1 was expressed in retinal ganglion cells, bipolar cells, and Muller glial cells. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that Eppk1 is expressed both in embryonic and adult retina and may be involved in retinal development. |
