 PURPOSE: The loss of Dicer in Müller glia (MG) results in severe photoreceptor degeneration, as it occurs in retinitis pigmentosa or age-related macular degeneration
  however, the sequence of events leading to this severe degenerative state is unknown. The aim of this study was to conduct a chronological functional and structural characterization of the pathological events in MG-specific Dicer-conditional knockout (cKO) mice in vivo and histologically. METHODS: To delete Dicer and mature microRNAs (miRNAs) in MG, two conditional Dicer1 knockout mouse strains (Rlbp-CreER:tdTomato:Dicer-cKOMG and Glast-CreER:tdTomato:Dicer-cKOMG) were created. Optical coherence tomography (OCT), electroretinograms (ERGs), and histological analyses were conducted to investigate structural and functional changes up to 6 months after Dicer deletion. RESULTS: Dicer/miRNA loss in MG leads to (1) impairments of the area spanning from the external limiting membrane (ELM) to the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), (2) cone photoreceptor dysfunction, and (3) retinal remodeling and functional loss of the inner retina at 1, 3, and 6 months after Dicer loss, respectively, in both of the knockout mouse strains. Furthermore, in the Rlbp-CreER:tdTomato:Dicer-cKOMG strain, rod photoreceptor impairment was found 4 months after Dicer depletion (4) accompanied by alteration of RPE integrity (5). CONCLUSIONS: MG Dicer loss in the adult mouse retina impacts cone function prior to any measurable changes in rod function, suggesting a pivotal role for MG Dicer and miRNAs in supporting cone health. A partially impaired RPE, however, seems to accelerate rod degeneration and overall degenerative events.
