Elevated Glucose and Interleukin-1β Differentially Affect Retinal Microglial Cell Proliferation

Figure 1

Rat retinal neurons and glial cells express IL-1β and IL-1RI. IL-1β (a) and IL-1RI (b) immunostaining (both in green) can be observed in rat retinal neurons (TUJ-1; red) and microglia (CD11b or iba-1; red) and macroglial cells (Müller cells and astrocytes; GFAP; red), indicating that retinal neural cells express IL-1β and can be responsive to it, since they express IL-1RI. Scale bar: 50 μm.
