Cyclic stretch induced-retinal pigment epithelial cell apoptosis and cytokine changes
BACKGROUND The pathogenesis of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is complex. It has been shown that vitreomacular traction (VMT) plays a role in the pathogenesis of AMD. We speculate that the continuous stretch induced by VMT might impair the function of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells and it might also be involved in the progression of AMD. METHODS Cultured ARPE-19 cells were sub...
متن کاملOxidant-induced apoptosis in cultured human retinal pigment epithelial cells.
PURPOSE To determine the mechanism of oxidant-induced cell death in cultured human retinal pigment epithelium (hRPE). METHODS Cultured hRPE cells were treated with different concentrations of a chemical oxidant, t-butylhydroperoxide (tBH), for different periods of time. Apoptosis was determined with terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT)-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) and flow c...
متن کاملTIMP-1 production by bovine retinal pigment epithelial cells increases in response to cyclic mechanical stretch.
PURPOSE The effect of mechanical stretch was examined on cultured retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells in order to observe changes in their production of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in response to physiological strain. METHODS Bovine RPE cells in near-confluent culture were exposed to mechanical stretch of the bottom of a 6-...
متن کاملHuman retinal pigment epithelial cell-induced apoptosis in activated T cells.
PURPOSE The immune privilege of the eye has been thought to be dependent on physical barriers and absence of lymphatic vessels. However, the immune privilege may also involve active immunologic processes, as recent studies have indicated. The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether human retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells can induce apoptosis in activated T cells. METHODS ...
متن کاملP.oleracea induced apoptosis and inhibited the cell growth in oral epithelial cancer cell line
Despite the progress in cancer therapies such as chemotherapy and radiation, its eradication remains as unattainable dream for the patients and doctors. Recently, using supplementary agents such as herbal medicine with fewer side effects seems efficient and attractive. Therefore, the purpose of the present study is to investigate if the ethanolic extract of P.oleracea has cytotoxicity and apopt...
