Pathologic Roles of Receptor-Associated Prorenin System in Idiopathic Epiretinal Membrane
Receptor-associated prorenin system (RAPS) refers to the pathogenic mechanism whereby prorenin binding to (pro)renin receptor [(P)RR] dually activates tissue renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and RAS-independent signaling via (P)RR. The aim of this study is to determine the association of RAPS with idiopathic epiretinal membrane (iERM). Reverse transcription-PCR indicated the expression of RAPS co...
متن کاملEpiretinal membrane formation associated with idiopathic macular telangiectasia: case report.
A 46-year-old woman complained of blurred and distorted vision in both eyes. Ophthalmic examination showed that visual acuity was 20/200 for the right eye and counting fingers left eye. Fundoscopy revealed perimacular hemorrhages, aneurismal dilatation of the vessels in the posterior pole, and a white and elevated lesion adjacent to vascular changes. We report a case of idiopathic macular telan...
متن کاملInflammatory Mechanisms of Idiopathic Epiretinal Membrane Formation
The pathogenesis of idiopathic epiretinal membranes (iERMs), a common pathology found in retina clinics, still eludes researchers to date. Ultrastructural studies of iERMs in the past have failed to identify the cells of origin due to the striking morphologic changes of cells involved via transdifferentiation. Thus, immunohistochemical techniques that stain for the cytostructural components of ...
متن کاملPathologic roles of prorenin and (pro)renin receptor in the eye.
Recent reports indicated that tissue renin-angiotensin system (RAS) was upregulated and angiotensin II type 1 receptor signaling plays crucial roles in ocular inflammation and neovascularization; however, the precise mechanism for activating tissue RAS had not been defined until recently. (Pro)renin receptor, a recently identified molecule existing in the major organs but not in the circulation...
متن کاملReceptor-associated prorenin system in the pathogenesis of retinal diseases.
Receptor-associated prorenin system (RAPS) refers to the pathogenic mechanisms whereby prorenin binding to (pro)renin receptor [(P)RR] dually activates tissue renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and RAS-independent intracellular signaling through the receptor. Although we found significant involvement of angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1-R) in intraocular inflammation and neovascularization, centr...
