چکیده

objective(s):the aim of this study was to evaluate distribution and changes of glycoconjugates of retinal photoreceptors during both pre- and postnatal development. materials and methods: tissue sections from days 15 to 20 of wistar rat embryos and 1 to 12 postnatal days of rat newborns including developing eye were prepared for lectinhistochemistry technique. horseradish peroxidase (hrp)-labeled lectins including vicia villosa (vva), peanut agglutinin (pna), maclura pomifera (mpa) and wheat germ agglutinin (wga-іі) were used. alcian blue (ph 2.5) was used for counterstaining. results: interphotoreceptor matrix (ipm) plays a crucial role in photoreceptors differentiation and acts as a mediator in interactions between photoreceptors and retinal pigment epithelium (rpe). specific cell surface glycoconjugates secreted from cone cells could help us to distinguish these cells from rod photoreceptors. our results for the first time revealed the strong reaction of cone photoreceptors with the cone-specific lectin (pna) at postnatal day 12 (p12).  postnatal day 12 can be determined as the final differentiation of cone photoreceptors. conclusion: according to our findings, we suggest that the generation of the eye photoreceptors begins from pre- natal period and their final differentiations will continue to postnatal period. glycoconjugates including (β-d-gal [1–3]-d-galnac) and (β-d-gal) terminal sugars play a critical role in the pre- and postnatal development and differentiation of retinal photoreceptors.

Conditional inhibition of screening-pigment aggregation by lidocaine in crayfish photoreceptors and frog retinal pigment epithelium.

Lidocaine, at concentrations equal to or lower than those that inhibit fast axoplasmic transport, was found to interfere with the dark-adapting migration of the screening pigments along crayfish photoreceptors and within the cells of the frog retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). The effects of the anesthetic on pigment movements were studied in isolated eyes incubated under light or dark condition...

Morphological changes in injured retinal pigment epithelium and photoreceptor cells after transplantation of stem cells into subretinal space

Introduction: Degenerative retinal diseases are main cause of irreversible blindness. Stem cells therapy is a promising way in these diseases. Therefore, mesenchymal stem cells because of its safety can produce degenerated cells and can play important role in treatment. The aim of this study was to examine morphological changes in injured retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and photoreceptor cells...

Macrophage and Retinal Pigment Epithelium Phagocytosis

Noninflammatory monocyte macrophages use alphavbeta3 integrin to selectively bind apoptotic cells, initiating their phagocytic removal. In a related process, the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) employs alphavbeta5 integrin to recognize spent photoreceptor outer segment particles (OS). Here, we show that apoptotic cells and OS compete for binding to these receptors, indicating that OS and apopt...
