Phagocytosis of outer segments by cultured rat pigment epithelium. Reduction by cyclic AMP and phosphodiesterase inhibitors.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Phagocytosis of isolated outer segments by cultured rat pigment epithelium was decreased by cyclic 3',5'adenosine monophosphate (cyclic AMP), dibutyryl cyclic AMP, and three phosphodiesterase inhibitors (isobutylmethylxanthine, papaverine, and SQ 65442). Cyclic GMP and its dibutyryl derivative had little effect on phagocytosis. Phagocytosis was moderately reduced by several other purine nucleotides and nucleosides and substantially reduced by adenine.

CD36 participates in the phagocytosis of rod outer segments by retinal pigment epithelium.
Mechanisms of phagocytosis are complex and incompletely understood. The retinal pigment epithelium provides an ideal system to study the specific aspects of phagocytosis since an important function of this cell is the ingestion of packets of membranous discs that are normally discarded at the apical ends of rod and cone cells during outer segment renewal. Here we provide evidence that rod outer...
متن کاملInduction of Dark-Adaptive Retinomotor
In the teleost retina, the photoreceptors and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) undergo extensive movements (called retinomotor movements) in response to changes in light conditions and to an endogenous circadian rhythm . Photoreceptor movements serve to reposition the light-receptive outer segments and are effected by changes in inner segment length . Melanin granule movements within the RPE ce...
متن کاملStimulation of A2 adenosine receptors inhibits the ingestion of photoreceptor outer segments by retinal pigment epithelium.
PURPOSE Recent studies have shown that A2 adenosine receptors are present in retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). In this study, the effect of adenosine and adenosine analogues on photoreceptor outer segment (ROS) phagocytosis by RPE was investigated. METHODS Primary cultures of RPE cells were incubated with isolated outer segments in the presence of various adenosine derivatives. Changes in ade...
متن کاملRetinal dystrophy in the rat--a pigment epithelial disease.
Rod outer segment renewal rate was studied by autoradiographic technique in both the Wistar rat (control) and the Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) dystrophic rat. The dystrophic rat showed normal renewal rate until age 18 days, whereupon further outer segment disc movement slowed and a previously established retrograde degeneration of outer segments progressed. The dystrophic rat differed from t...
متن کاملIntegrin av/35 Participates in the Binding of Photoreceptor Rod Outer Segments during Phagocytosis by Cultured Human Retinal Pigment Epithelium
METHODS. Monoclonal antibodies against human integrin subunit ov and heterodimers av/33 (LM609) and av/35 (P1F6) were used to label freshly isolated human fetal RPE explant and cultured human fetal RPE and to immunoprecipitate membrane proteins from cultured human RPE. Effects of antibodies and peptides that inhibit integrin vitronectin receptors on phagocytosis of ROS by RPE were determined us...
