Photoreceptor cell death is recognized as the key pathogenesis of retinal degeneration, but the molecular basis underlying photoreceptor-specific cell loss in retinal damaging conditions is virtually unknown. The N-myc downstream regulated gene (NDRG) family has recently been reported to regulate cell viability, in particular NDRG1 has been uncovered expression in photoreceptor cells. Accordingly, we herein examined the potential roles of NDRGs in mediating photoreceptor-specific cell loss in retinal damages. By using mouse models of retinal degeneration and the 661 W photoreceptor cell line, we showed that photoreceptor cells are indeed highly sensitive to light exposure and the related oxidative stress, and that photoreceptor cells are even selectively diminished by phototoxins of the alkylating agentN-Methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU). Unexpectedly, we discovered that of all the NDRG family members, NDRG2, but not the originally hypothesized NDRG1 or other NDRG subtypes, was selectively expressed and specifically responded to retinal damaging conditions in photoreceptor cells. Furthermore, functional experiments proved that NDRG2 was essential for photoreceptor cell viability, which could be attributed to NDRG2 control of the photo-oxidative stress, and that it was the suppression of NDRG2 which led to photoreceptor cell loss in damaging conditions. More importantly, NDRG2 preservation contributed to photoreceptor-specific cell maintenance and retinal protection both in vitro and in vivo. Our findings revealed a previously unrecognized role of NDRG2 in mediating photoreceptor cell homeostasis and established for the first time the molecular hallmark of photoreceptor-specific cell death as NDRG2 suppression, shedding light on improved understanding and therapy of retinal degeneration.
