MIND4-17 protects retinal pigment epithelium cells and retinal ganglion cells from UV
Nrf2 activation would efficiently protect retinal cells from UV radiation (UVR). Recent studies have developed a Nrf2-targeting thiazole-containing compound MIND4-17, which activates Nrf2 through blocking its association with Keap1. In the current study, we demonstrated that pretreatment with MIND4-17 efficiently protected retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells (RPEs) and retinal ganglion cells...
متن کاملSC79 protects retinal pigment epithelium cells from UV radiation via activating Akt-Nrf2 signaling
Excessive Ultra-violet (UV) radiation causes oxidative damages and apoptosis in retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells. Here we tested the potential activity of SC79, a novel small molecule activator of Akt, against the process. We showed that SC79 activated Akt in primary and established (ARPE-19 line) RPE cells. It protected RPE cells from UV damages possibly via inhibiting cell apoptosis. Ak...
متن کاملMorphological changes in injured retinal pigment epithelium and photoreceptor cells after transplantation of stem cells into subretinal space
Introduction: Degenerative retinal diseases are main cause of irreversible blindness. Stem cells therapy is a promising way in these diseases. Therefore, mesenchymal stem cells because of its safety can produce degenerated cells and can play important role in treatment. The aim of this study was to examine morphological changes in injured retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and photoreceptor cells...
متن کاملEfficient derivation of retinal pigment epithelium cells from stem cells.
No cure has been discovered for age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the leading cause of vision loss in people over the age of 55. AMD is complex multifactorial disease with an unknown etiology, although it is largely thought to occur due to death or dysfunction of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), a monolayer of cells that underlies the retina and provides critical support for photorec...
متن کاملRetinal Pigment Epithelium Derived Stem Cells
Retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) stem cells offer a theoretical treatment strategy for a wide variety of retinal disorders including age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and retinal dystrophies. There are, however, a number of hurdles that will have to be overcome before a consistently reliable and successful therapy can be offered to patients. These include expansion of sufficient numbers of...
