To better understand the role of microglia during chronic ocular hypertension, we depleted microglia from aged (9\u201312\u2009months old) DBA\/2\u2009J (D2) mice, which exhibit age-related increases in intraocular pressure, using a dietary CSF1R antagonist, PLX5622. Retinal ganglion cell (RGC) somas were counted, and optic nerve cross-sections stained and assessed for glaucomatous damage. Sustained administration of dietary PLX5622 significantly reduced the numbers of retinal microglia. Dietary PLX5622 did not lead to changes in intraocular pressure in D2 or normotensive DBA\/2\u2009J-\n                    <jats:italic>\n                      Gpnmb\n                      <jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>\n                    <\/jats:italic>\n                    (D2-\n                    <jats:italic>\n                      Gpnmb\n                      <jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>\n                    <\/jats:italic>\n                    ) control mice.

In conclusion, global reduction of microglia exacerbated glaucomatous neurodegeneration in D2 mice suggesting microglia play an overall beneficial role in protecting from ocular hypertension associated RGC loss.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fnagi.2024.1396443","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,2]],"date-time":"2024-07-02T00:48:26Z","timestamp":1719881306000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["Microglia depletion leads to increased susceptibility to ocular hypertension-dependent glaucoma"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Cory A.","family":"Diemler","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"MacLean","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sarah E.","family":"Heuer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amanda A.","family":"Hewes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Olivia J.","family":"Marola","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Richard T.","family":"Libby","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gareth R.","family":"Howell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"4566","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.0407357102","article-title":"High-dose radiation with bone marrow transfer prevents neurodegeneration in an inherited glaucoma","volume":"102","author":"Anderson","year":"2005","journal-title":"Proc.
