Biochemical adaptations of the retina and retinal pigment epithelium support a metabolic ecosystem in the vertebrate eye

open access: yeseLife, 2017
Here we report multiple lines of evidence for a comprehensive model of energy metabolism in the vertebrate eye. Metabolic flux, locations of key enzymes, and our finding that glucose enters mouse and zebrafish retinas mostly through photoreceptors ...

Oxidative Stress-Involved Mitophagy of Retinal Pigment Epithelium and Retinal Degenerative Diseases

open access: yesCellular and molecular neurobiology, 2023
The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is a highly specialized and polarized epithelial cell layer that plays an important role in sustaining the structural and functional integrity of photoreceptors.

Oxidative stress in retinal pigment epithelium degeneration: from pathogenesis to therapeutic targets in dry age-related macular degeneration

open access: yesNeural Regeneration Research, 2023
Age-related macular degeneration is a primary cause of blindness in the older adult population. Past decades of research in the pathophysiology of the disease have resulted in breakthroughs in the form of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapies

Involvement of FSP1-CoQ10-NADH and GSH-GPx-4 pathways in retinal pigment epithelium ferroptosis

open access: yesCell Death and Disease, 2022
Retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) degeneration plays an important role in a group of retinal disorders such as retinal degeneration (RD) and age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The mechanism of RPE cell death is not yet fully elucidated.

Single-cell–resolution map of human retinal pigment epithelium helps discover subpopulations with differential disease sensitivity

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2022
Significance Retinal degenerative diseases affect specific regions of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), suggesting the presence of functionally different RPE subpopulations.

Sodium iodate induces ferroptosis in human retinal pigment epithelium ARPE-19 cells

open access: yesCell Death and Disease, 2021
Sodium iodate (SI) is a widely used oxidant for generating retinal degeneration models by inducing the death of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells. However, the mechanism of RPE cell death induced by SI remains unclear. In this study, we investigated

Transcriptomic and proteomic retinal pigment epithelium signatures of age-related macular degeneration

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
There are currently no treatments for geographic atrophy, the advanced form of age-related macular degeneration. Hence, innovative studies are needed to model this condition and prevent or delay its progression.

Role of Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition in Retinal Pigment Epithelium Dysfunction

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020
Retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells maintain the health and functional integrity of both photoreceptors and the choroidal vasculature. Loss of RPE differentiation has long been known to play a critical role in numerous retinal diseases, including ...

Retinal pigment epithelium and age‐related macular degeneration: A review of major disease mechanisms

open access: yesClinical and Experimental Ophthalmology, 2020
Age‐related macular degeneration (AMD) is a progressive degenerative disease that is the leading cause of vision loss in the elderly population.
