    Abstract Nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) is a common acute optic neuropathy and cause of irreversible vision loss in those older than 50 years of age. There is currently no effective treatment for NAION and the biological mechanisms leading to neuronal loss are not fully understood. Promising novel targets include glial cells activation and intercellular communication mediated by molecules such as gap junction protein Connexin 43 (Cx43), which modulate neuronal fate in central nervous system disorders. In this study, we investigated retinal glial changes and neuronal loss following a novel NAION animal model using a 577 nm yellow laser. We induced unilateral photochemical thrombosis using rose bengal at the optic nerve head vasculature in adult C57BL/6 mice using a 577 nm laser and performed morphometric analysis of the retinal structure using serial in vivo optical coherence tomography (OCT) and histology for glial and neuronal markers. One day after experimental NAION, in acute phase, OCT imaging revealed peripapillary thickening of the retinal ganglion cell complex (GCC, baseline: 79.5 ± 1.0 μm, n = 8; NAION: 93.0 ± 2.5 μm, n = 8, P < 0.01) and total retina (baseline: 202.9 ± 2.4 μm, n = 8; NAION: 228.1 ± 6.8 μm, n = 8, P < 0.01). Twenty-one days after ischemia, at a chronic phase, there was significant GCC thinning (baseline 78.3 ± 2.1 μm, n = 6; NAION: 72.2 ± 1.9 μm, n = 5, P < 0.05), mimicking human disease. Examination of molecular changes in the retina one day after ischemia revealed that NAION induced a significant increase in retinal VEGF levels (control: 2319 ± 195, n = 5; NAION: 4549 ± 683 gray mean value, n = 5, P < 0.05), which highly correlated with retinal thickness (r = 0.89, P < 0.05). NAION also led to significant increase in mRNA level for Cx43 (Gj1a) at day 1 (control: 1.291 ± 0.38; NAION: 3.360 ± 0.58 puncta/mm
