Migration and proliferation of retinal pigment epithelium on extracellular matrix ligands.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We compared aged adult and fetal retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) migration and proliferation in cell culture. Aged adult RPE resurfaced on dishes coated with human or mouse laminin, human or rat collagen I, human or mouse collagen IV, or human fibronectin. Resurfacing was best on bovine corneal endothelial cell extracellular matrix. Resurfacing was worst on mouse laminin. Fetal RPE resurfacing was robust on all surfaces studied except human and mouse laminin. In general, fetal RPE resurfacing was much greater than that seen with aged RPE on comparable surfaces. The degree of cell proliferation (labeled by Ki-67) was much greater in fetal than adult RPE cells.

Morphological 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 کاملCultures of human retinal pigment epithelium. Modulation of extracellular matrix.
The extracellular matrix of retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells is an important component of the fibroelastic membranes formed in proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR). These membranes consist of cells intermingled with fibrillar proteins, such as elastin and collagen. Because RPE cells may be exposed to vitreous and serum-derived factors in conditions that lead to PVR, the effects of vitreo...

The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is a monolayer of polarized epithelial cells located between the photoreceptor outer segments of the neural retina and the choroidal blood supply [1]. RPE cells have many metabolic and biochemical functions essential for maintaining retinal integrity, such as phagocytosis of rod and cone outer segments, transport of metabolites to and from the visual cells a...

PURPOSE To investigate the effect that antibodies against the beta 1 subunit of integrin, a cell-surface extracellular matrix receptor, would exert on chick embryo retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells maintained in organ culture after mechanical wounding of the epithelium. METHODS RPE cells maintained in organ culture in the presence of antibodies against the beta 1 subunit of integrin were...
