Characterization of the retinal pigment epithelium in Friedreich ataxia
We assessed structural elements of the retina in individuals with Friedreich ataxia (FRDA) and in mouse models of FRDA, as well as functions of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) in FRDA using induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). We analyzed the retina of the FRDA mouse models YG22R and YG8R containing a human FRATAXIN (FXN) transgene by histology. We complemented this work with post-morte...
متن کاملCharacterization of brimonidine transport in retinal pigment epithelium.
PURPOSE To investigate the involvement of carrier-mediated transport mechanisms in brimonidine transport in retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). METHODS The transport of [3H]-brimonidine in bovine RPE-choroid explants was evaluated in a modified Ussing chamber. The uptake of [3H]brimonidine was evaluated in differentiated ARPE-19 cells cultured on permeable transwell filters. RESULTS The trans...
متن کاملProteomic characterization of isolated retinal pigment epithelium microvilli.
Polarized epithelial cells are characterized by displaying compartmentalized functions associated with differential distribution of transporters, structural proteins, and signaling molecules on their apical and basolateral surfaces. Their apical surfaces frequently elaborate microvilli, which vary in structure according to the specific type and function of each epithelium. The molecular basis o...

متن کاملDetection of Retinal Pigment Epithelium-Specific Antibody in iPSC-Derived Retinal Pigment Epithelium Transplantation Models
Antibody-mediated rejection is characterized by donor-specific antibody produced by B cells. However, to our knowledge, B cell invasion and antibody in the inflamed retina after transplantation of retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells has not been reported. To determine if RPE transplantation could be performed using allografts, we established in vivo immune rejection models with induced pluri...
