RCS rat macrophages exhibit normal ROS phagocytosis.

چکیده
Peritoneal macrophages from RCS rats exhibit phagocytic capability equal to that found in macrophages from normal strains of rat. The similarity in phagocytic activity was found with rat or bovine rod outer segments as well as with dystrophic retinal debris. Thus the genetic defect in RCS pigment epithelium is not expressed in the macrophages, which are available to clear the debris layer that accumulates in dystrophic RCS retinas.

Double fluorescent vital assay of phagocytosis by cultured retinal pigment epithelial cells.
PURPOSE The goal of this study was to develop the first vital assay system for in vitro analysis of phagocytosis of rod outer segments (ROS) by normal retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells and for study of the phagocytic defect in RPE of the Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) rat with inherited retinal degeneration. Required features included ability to directly visualize and quantitate the phago...
متن کاملProtein Phosphorylarion in Retinal Pigment Epithelium of Long-Evans and Royal College of Surgeons Rats
Cultures of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) from normal Long-Evans (LE) and dystrophic Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) rats were incubated with P-orthophosphate and then phagocytically challenged with isolated rod outer segments (ROS) or polystyrene latex spheres (PSL). The P incorporation into individual proteins was quantified by image analysis of two-dimensional gel autoradiograms, and chan...

متن کاملCarbachol does not correct the defect in the phagocytosis of outer segments by Royal College of Surgeons rat retinal pigment epithelial cells.
PURPOSE To investigate the effect of carbachol on the phagocytosis of photoreceptor outer segments (OS) in cultures of normal Long-Evans and dystrophic Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) rat retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells. METHODS Retinal pigment epithelial cells from normal and RCS rats were grown in tissue culture. On reaching confluence, they were presented with OS suspended in Krebs-...
متن کاملA mannose receptor is involved in retinal phagocytosis.
A 175-kD mannose-specific receptor has been described in macrophages which appears to mediate pinocytosis and phagocytosis. A mannose-specific receptor has also been found on retinal pigment epithelial cells (RPE). Its role was examined in the phagocytosis of photoreceptor outer segments (ROS) by the RPE. All testing was done on cultured RPE cells challenged with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FIT...
