“…Decreasing a- and b-wave amplitudes indicate photoreceptor and bipolar cell dysfunction. 24 The amplitudes of both waves were significantly lower in the axotomy model group compared to the control group ( Figs. 5 F, 5 H, 5 K), indicating that the photoreceptor and bipolar cells were destroyed in the axotomy model.…”

“…In the f-VEP assay, the P2–N2 wave reflects the visual function of the entire pathway from the retina to the visual cortex, and decreasing P2–N2 wave amplitudes indicate optic pathway damage. 24 The P2–N2 wave amplitudes were significantly lower in the axotomy and electrocoagulation model groups than in the control groups ( Figs. 5 A, 5 C– 5 E).…”

Purpose This study aimed to establish a mouse model of chlorpromazine-induced corneal trigeminal denervation (CCTD). Methods Retrobulbar chlorpromazine injections were administered to 6- to 8-week-old C57BL/6j mice to induce corneal denervation. Additionally, apoptosis was assessed in isolated primary trigeminal ganglion cells after culturing in a conditioned medium containing chlorpromazine. Finally, the success rate of model generation, mortality and complication rates, and model-preparation learning curves were compared between the CCTD model and the electrocoagulation and axotomy models. Results Chlorpromazine retrobulbar injections resulted in trigeminal denervation, leading to a reduced blink reflex, corneal nerve density, and corneal epithelium thickness. Furthermore, 90% (9/10) of the mice developed epithelial defects, accompanied by increased apoptosis and inhibited proliferation of corneal epithelial cells. In vitro, trigeminal ganglion cell apoptosis increased after culturing in a conditioned medium containing chlorpromazine. Moreover, the CCTD model exhibited a higher success rate, longer survival rate, and lower complication rate compared to the electrocoagulation and axotomy models. Crucially, the learning curve demonstrated that the method used to generate the CCTD model was easy to learn. Conclusions The CCTD model is a user-friendly mouse model for studying corneal trigeminal denervation that offers a less invasive alternative to existing models. Translational Relevance The CCTD model serves as a valuable tool for investigating the functional mechanisms of corneal trigeminal nerves and their interactions with corneal cells.
