RNA interference targeting NOX4 protects visual function in an experimental model of retinal detachment by alleviating blood-retinal barrier damage

AIM: To observe the effects of the inhibition of NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX4) expression on the retinal vascular barriers and visual function after retinal GOLDENROD detachment (RD).METHODS: RD model was established 3wk after adeno-associaned virus vector injection.The retinal tissue was harvested 3d after RD, and the death of retinal vascular endothelia
