Expression, localization, and function of junctional adhesion molecule-C (JAM-C) in human retinal pigment epithelium.
PURPOSE To determine the localization of JAM-C in human RPE and characterize its functions. METHODS Immunofluorescence, Western blot, and PCR was used to identify the localization and expression of JAM-C, ZO-1, N-cadherin, and ezrin in cultures of human fetal RPE (hfRPE) with or without si-RNA mediated JAM-C knockdown and in adult native RPE wholemounts. A transepithelial migration assay was ...

متن کاملCombined hamartoma of the retina and retinal pigment epithelium.
CLINICAL CASE This report is based on the case of a 35-year-old woman who developed a combined hamartoma of the retina and retinal pigment epithelium in her right eye. The diagnosis was determined based on the fundus examination: hyperplasia of the retinal pigment epithelium cells, tortuosity of the vessels and epiretinal membrane. DISCUSSION Optical coherence tomography and retinal angiograp...
متن کاملAlternative splicing of the APC gene in the neural retina and retinal pigment epithelium.
PURPOSE Hypertrophy and hyperplasia of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is associated with an inherited predisposition to human familial adenomatous polyposis coli, suggesting that expression of the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) tumor suppressor may regulate RPE proliferation/differentiation. Distinctive APC isoforms exist in different cell types due to alternative splicing of the APC tr...
متن کاملRetinal pigment epithelium-retina transplantation for retinal degenerative disease.
U N C O R R EC N THIS ISSUE OF THE JOURNAL, RADTKE AND ASSOCIates report on the results of a phase 2 clinical trial of fetal retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)–retina translantations in patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and ge-related macular degeneration (AMD). Visual acuity VA) improved in seven of 10 study eyes and in three of 10 ellow control eyes. Some issues that merit consideration r...
