Zinc uptake in vitro by human retinal pigment epithelium.
Zinc, an essential trace element, is present in unusually high concentrations in the chorioretinal complex relative to most other tissues. Because little has been known about the interactions between the retinal pigment epithelium and free or protein-associated zinc, we studied 65Zn uptake by human retinal pigment epithelium in vitro. When monolayers were exposed to differing concentrations fro...
متن کاملElectrophysiological effects of corticosteroids on the retinal pigment epithelium.
PURPOSE As corticosteroids appear to intervene in pathogenesis of central serous chorioretinopathy, ion transport changes within the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) might be involved. Electrophysiological responses to corticosteroid administration were recorded in vivo and in vitro. METHODS Clinical study: The standing ocular potential was recorded during intravenous (IV) infusion of glucose...
متن کاملTissue culture of human retinal pigment epithelium.
Adult human retinal pigment epithelium has been enzymatically isolated and established In tissue culture. Primary cultures survived three to six months. Occasionally, cell lines spontaneously evolved from primary cultures. Melanin granules decreased with the age of the culture, became less pigmented but retained some characterstics of melanin-producing cells. Lipofuscin granules are present, bu...
متن کاملProtein database, human retinal pigment epithelium.
The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is a single cell layer adjacent to the rod and cone photoreceptors that plays key roles in retinal physiology and the biochemistry of vision. RPE cells were isolated from normal adult human donor eyes, subcellular fractions were prepared, and proteins were fractionated by electrophoresis. Following in-gel proteolysis, proteins were identified by peptide sequ...
متن کاملEffects of current clamp on chick retinal pigment epithelium.
The basal membrane of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is the origin of two components of the electroretinogram, the fast oscillation and the light peak. Both of these responses originate from changes in basal membrane potential (Vba), and both are associated with changes in basal membrane resistance (Rba). In addition, many experimental manipulations that alter Vba also produce apparent ch...
