Retinal lesion in Ccl2tm1Rol/Ccl2tm1Rol Cx3cr1tm1Litt/Cx3cr1tm1Litt mice

vision/eye
• patches of yellowish/whitish fundus lesions are seen in 17-60% of 12 month old and 30-100% of 18 month old mutants
• majority of lesions are in the temporal area (upper and lower) between the optic disc and equatorial region of the retina, with variable lesion size and lesions are rarely seen in the peripheral retinal areas
• 83-100% of mutants exposed to an approximate 800 lux light 6 hours/day for 6-7 months develop patches of yellowish and whitish lesions compared to 20-25% of wild-type mice
• aged and light-treated mutant retinas exhibit mitochondrial damage, vacuolization, and photoreceptor damage

• older mutants exhibit pigment loss in RPE cells
• 33% of 12 month old and 50% of 18 month old mutants exhibit retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) damage, showing altered cell junction, loss of hexagonal tessellation, and uneven distribution of F-actin
