Figure Lengend Snippet: Validation of ASNS's impact on the AMD disease process in vivo. Sprague–Dawley rats injected with sodium iodate (30 mg/kg body weight) and divided into MOCK group (No lentivirus injections, n = 10), shCtrl group (Injection of shCtrl lentivirus, n = 10), and shASNS (Injection of shASNS lentivirus, n = 10) group. (A) H&E staining analysis of rat retinal tissues in each group. (B) SA‐β‐gal staining of rat retinal tissues were conducted in the above groups. (C) Measuring ECAR and OCR in retinal tissues using the XF‐96 extracellular flux analyzer. (D) The mRNA expression of Glut1, Glut4, HK2, and PGK1 in retinal tissues was detected by RT‐qPCR. (E) The protein expression of Glut1, Glut4, HK2, and PGK1 in retinal tissues was detected by WB. (F) The protein expression of ASNS and USP13 in retinal tissues was detected by WB. (G) IF was used to analyze the expression of ASNS and USP1 in retinal tissues. (H) The protein expression of HIF‐1α in retinal tissues was detected by WB. Data are presented as mean ± SD. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001.
