Figure 5. Müller glial cells from
transgenic mice are more resistant to iron-mediated stress than Müller
glial cells from wild-type mice. A: Culture of Müller glial (MG)
cells from wild-type (WT) and transgenic (Tg) mice at the first passage
were treated with 100 µM of FeCl3-NTA (FN), during 96
h. The number of cells was evaluated by counting in comparison to
control condition. Each column represents the mean ±SEM. The triple
asterisk represent statistical significance of
differences between treated and control, respectively, for WT and
Tg, and between control and treated, p<0.001. B: Release of
lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was measured after incubation of
MG cells with 100 µM of FN. The percent (%) release of LDH from MG
cells was reported to the total LDH release. Each column represents the
mean ±SEM. The double asterisk represents statistical
significance of differences from control, p<0.01 In both
figures, data considered not significant is marked NS.
