Choroidal melanocytes and associated pathology.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The embryologic origins of choroidal and cutanoeus melanocytes, also of the genes involved in cutaneous and choroidal melanoma, are identical, even the two kinds of tumors are different entities. This is a general scientific report, which stretches the molecular mechanisms, as basement of choroidal melanocytes proliferation.

Association between choroidal pigmentation and posterior uveal melanoma in a white population.
BACKGROUND/AIMS It is well known that light skin pigmentation is a risk factor for cutaneous melanoma. The aim of this study was to investigate the analogous association between choroidal pigmentation and posterior uveal melanoma. METHODS Cross sectional study of 65 consecutive patients diagnosed with posterior uveal melanoma (melanoma group) and 218 consecutive patients referred for general ...

متن کاملDifferential responses of choroidal melanocytes and uveal melanoma cells to low oxygen conditions
PURPOSE Tissue culture is traditionally performed at atmospheric oxygen concentration (21%), which induces hyperoxic stress, as endogenous physiologic oxygen tension found in tissues varies between 2% and 9%. This discrepancy may lead to misinterpretation of results and may explain why effects observed in vitro cannot always be reproduced in vivo and vice versa. Only a few studies have been con...
متن کاملEffect of melanocyte stimulating hormone on human cultured choroidal melanocytes, uveal melanoma cells, and retinal epithelial cells.
PURPOSE To establish methodology for the culture of human choroidal melanocytes to compare their responsiveness to melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH) with that of their transformed melanoma counterparts and with that of the retinal epithelial cell. METHODS Choroidal melanocytes from the choroid of eyes enucleated for the presence of malignant melanoma were cultured in MCDB 153 medium supple...
متن کاملEffect of Uveal Melanocytes on Choroidal Morphology in Rhesus Macaques and Humans on Enhanced-Depth Imaging Optical Coherence Tomography
Purpose To compare cross-sectional choroidal morphology in rhesus macaque and human eyes using enhanced-depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT) and histologic analysis. Methods Enhanced-depth imaging-OCT images from 25 rhesus macaque and 30 human eyes were evaluated for choriocapillaris and choroidal-scleral junction (CSJ) visibility in the central macula based on OCT reflectivit...
