Evaluation of Genomic and Proteomic Expression of Surfactant Protein D in the Mouse Retina

Show abstract
Surfactant Protein D (SP-D), an essential protein related to innate immunity, is expressed in multiple tissue types throughout the body. A closely-related protein, Surfactant Protein A (SP-A), is present in the mouse retina and is associated with neovascularization (NV) in the Oxygen-Induced Retinopathy (OIR) mouse model, mimicking retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). We hypothesized that SP-D would be present in the retina and is also associated with OIR and ROP, which is one of the leading causes of pediatric blindness due to increasing survival rates of extremely preterm newborns. In our study, we did not detect SP-D in the mouse retina through proteomic and genomic investigation at baseline and in pathways known to up-regulate SP-D in other mammal tissues. It is therefore unlikely that SP-D participates in neovascularization in the mouse retina.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
