Figure 10. In vivo administration of nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) prevents FK866-induced NAD⁺ depletion and RPE senescence. Male C57BL/6J mice were injected sub-retinally with 10 μM FK866 (right eye) at day 0 and day 7 and sacrificed on day 15 (7 days after the last dose). RPE/eye cup was then collected for further analysis. Simultaneously, a group of mice were treated with 150 mg/kg NMN (i.p.) for 14 days. Left eye was injected with PBS to use as controls. (A) NAD⁺ content and (B) SIRT-1 expression was evaluated by NAD assay and western blotting respectively. A representative western blot image from three replicates is shown. Data are presented as mean ± S.E.M for n=5. *p<0.05 compared to CON (Vehicle treated) and @p<0.05 compared to FK866.
