Protein synthesis, glycosylation, RNA synthesis, and neurotransmitter uptake were monitored using biochemical and autoradiographic techniques following in vitro labeling of retinal tissue from a 79-year-old female with sectoral retinitis pigmentosa (RP). Comparisons were made between degenerate and non-degenerate regions of the RP retina, and normal retinal tissues from an age- and postmortem-matched donor. Autoradiographs of non-degenerate retina from the RP eye following3>H-uridine incubation revealed virtually identical silver grain density over nuclei in all retinal strata as compared to normal control retinas. In contrast, a photoreceptor-specific reduction in silver grain density in the non-degenerate RP retina was noted following3H-leucine incubation. In the normal retina, rod photoreceptor labeling with3H-mannose was always greater than cone photoreceptor labeling. This pattern of incorporation was reversed in the non-degenerate region of the RP retina where rod photoreceptor labeling was less pronounced than that observed for cone photoreceptors.In non-degenerate regions of the RP retina, a marked accumulation of3H-GABA by the Mller's cells was observed. Few cells exhibited selective uptake of3>H-muscimol, a GABA analog, indicating that few GABAergic neurons remained in the degenerate retina.3H-dopamine-accumulating cell terminals were observed in the usual positions in the non-degenerate RP retina. In the degenerate region of the RP retina, heavy and diffuse uptake of3H-GABA and3>H-muscimol, respectively, into broad cellular processes were noted, whereas3>H-dopamine was accumulated by only a few punctate terminals.
