IFN-beta provides immuno-protection in the retina by inhibiting ICAM-1 and CXCL9 in retinal pigment epithelial cells.
The retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cell is a potent regulatory cell that facilitates normal physiologic processes and plays a critical role in a variety of retinal diseases. We evaluated IFN-beta production in human RPE cells through TLR signaling and investigated the effects of IFN-beta on RPE cells. RPE cells treated with poly(I:C) or infected with an RNA virus produce IFN-beta. Kinetic stu...
متن کاملExtremely low frequency-pulsed electromagnetic fields affect proangiogenic-related gene expression in retinal pigment epithelial cells
Objective(s): It is known that extremely low frequency-pulsed electromagnetic fields (ELF-PEMF) influence multiple cellular and molecular processes. Retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells have a significant part in the emergence and pathophysiology of several ocular disorders, such as neovascularization. This study assessed the impact of ELF-PEMF on the proangiogenic features of RPE cells. Mate...
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 کاملSuppression of ICAM-1 in retinal and choroidal endothelial cells by plasmid small-interfering RNAs in vivo.
PURPOSE Leukocytes play a critical role in ocular diseases such as uveitis, diabetic retinopathy, and choroidal neovascularization. Intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 is essential for the migration of leukocytes. Control of ICAM-1 expression may lead to therapies for these diseases. Small-interfering ribonucleic acids (siRNAs) are efficient specific modulators of endogenous gene expressio...

Pluripotent stem cells as the cells with a capacity for self-renewal and differentiation into various specificcell types have been highly regarded in regenerative medicine studies. To repair the eye disease damages, thedifferentiation into retinal pigment epithelial cells of pluripotent stem cells has gained great importance inrecent decades because the inappropriate function of these cells is ...
