摘要

In this chapter, we outline the preparation and isolation of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) from postnatal mice. This includes a metabolite extraction method using 1:1 methanol/water from 6 or 12-well plate dishes. We provide liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) parameters using a QExactive High Resolution Orbitrap Mass Spectrometer and HILIC column. The software used for analysis includes Compound Discoverer and MetaboAnalyst. Through this metabolic workflow, this protocol provides a biomarker discovery, allowing for future experimentation to treat and cure ocular neuropathies.
