Light filtering in a retinal pigment epithelial cell culture model.
PURPOSE We tested for protection of blue light-exposed A2E-containing retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) from damage through the implementation of polycarbonate filters containing varying levels of a pigment that absorbs short wavelength light. METHODS Human adult RPE cells (ARPE-19) that had accumulated synthesized A2E were exposed to either a light line delivered from a tungsten halogen sourc...
متن کاملBlue-light filtering alters angiogenic signaling in human retinal pigmented epithelial cells culture model
BACKGROUND Light exposure and more specifically the spectrum of blue light contribute to the oxidative stress in Age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The purpose of the study was to establish whether blue light filtering could modify proangiogenic signaling produced by retinal pigmented epithelial (RPE) cells under different conditions simulating risk factors for AMD. METHODS Three experim...
متن کاملA human retinal pigment epithelial cell line that retains epithelial characteristics after prolonged culture.
PURPOSE A spontaneously arising, apparently transformed, cell line has been cloned from a primary culture of human retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells and has been subcultured more than 200 times. The similarities of these cells to human RPE cells in vivo have been determined. METHODS The structure of the transformed cells has been determined by light and electron microscopy and by immunoc...
متن کاملNeural cell differentiation from retinal pigment epithelial cells of the newt: an organ culture model for the urodele retinal regeneration.
Transdifferentiation from retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) to neural retina (NR) was studied under a new culture system as an experimental model for newt retinal regeneration. Adult newt RPEs were organ cultured with surrounding connective tissues, such as the choroid and sclera, on a filter membrane. Around day 7 in vitro, lightly pigmented "neuron-like cells" with neuritic processes were foun...
متن کاملEffects of steady electric fields on human retinal pigment epithelial cell orientation and migration in culture.
Low-level, steady electric fields of 6-10 volts/cm stimulated directional orientation and translocation of cultured human retinal pigment epithelial cells. The orientative movements (galvanotropism) consisted of somatic elongation of the cells into spindle shapes, followed by pivotal alignment orthogonal to the field. The anodal edges of the cells underwent retraction of their plasmalemmal exte...
