Test of long-release DHA formulation in the rd10 mouse model of RP.

(A) In vitro release kinetics of a long-release DHA formulation (DHA encapsulated in PLGA polymer microparticles, PLGA-DHA) in phosphate buffered saline containing 0.1% DMSO (pH 7.4) at 37°C (Figure 6—source data 1). (B) Representative images of DAPI-stained retinal sections from one female and one male rd10 retina injected with vehicle control (CTL) or PLGA-DHA (DHA; scale bar = 25 µm). (C) Quantification of ONL thickness of control and PLGA-DHA-treated retinas, no statistically significant differences were observed (p=0.5898, two-way ANOVA). The total sample size was 17 mice across three experimental replicates. Abbreviations: CTL, control; DHA, Dihydroartemisinin; ONL: outer nuclear layer; INL: inner nuclear layer; GCL: ganglion cell layer.
