PURPOSE. To test the hypothesis that manganese-enhanced MRI ( MEMRI) provides a sensitive and robust measure of an important retinal ionic dysregulatory phenotype in pathologic retinal thinning.METHODS. Four hours after intraperitoneal MnCl2 injection, high-resolution MEMRI data were collected from overnight dark-adapted male control Sprague - Dawley and albino Royal College of Surgeons rats before ( at development stage postnatal day [ P] 17) and during photoreceptor degeneration ( P36 and P57). In separate experiments, control rats, with and without repetitive hypoxic preconditioning, were subjected to high IOP ( 100 mm Hg) for 60 minutes followed by 24 hours or 7 days of reperfusion ( e. g., ischemia/ reperfusion). Central retinal thickness and intraretinal ion activity were measured from the MEMRI data. Histology examination was also performed to confirm retinal damage.RESULTS. In two different neurodegenerative models, MEMRI revealed first-time evidence for changes ( P < 0.05) in intraretinal ion regulation before and during pathologic, but not ( P > 0.05) developmental, retinal thinning. This phenotype was significantly altered by a neuroprotective repetitive hypoxic preconditioning protocol.CONCLUSIONS. MEMRI and a nontoxic systemic dose of MnCl2 provided an objective, noninvasive measure of an ionic deregulatory phenotype that appears useful for improved early diagnosis and treatment prognosis in a range of neurodegenerative diseases and their treatment.
