Abstrakt: | Biological processes throughout the body are orchestrated in time through the regulation of local circadian clocks. The retina is among the most metabolically active tissues, with demands depending greatly on the light/dark cycle. Most cell types within the rodent retina are known to express the circadian clock; however, retinal clock expression in humans has not previously been localized. Moreover, the effect of local circadian clock dysfunction on retinal homeostasis is incompletely understood. The current study indicated an age-dependent decline in circadian clock gene and protein expression in the human retina. An animal model of targeted Bmal1 deficiency was used to identify the circadian clock of the retinal Müller glia as essential for neuronal survival, vascular integrity, and retinal function. These results suggest a potential role for the local retinal circadian clock within the Müller glia in age-related retinal disease and retinal degeneration.
