Protection from oxidative stress by methionine sulfoxide reductases in RPE cells.

  • Parameswaran G Sreekumar‎ et al.
  • Biochemical and biophysical research communications‎
  • 2005‎

We investigated the role of methionine sulfoxide reductases (Msrs) in oxidant-stress-induced cell death in retinal pigmented epithelial (RPE) cells. In RPE cells exposed to varying doses of H(2)O(2), gene expression of MsrA and hCBS-1 (the human analog of MsrB2) increased in a dose-dependent and time-dependent manner with maximal increase with 150 microM H(2)O(2) in 24h. H(2)O(2) treatment resulted in the generation of reactive oxygen species and activation of caspase 3. Confocal microscopic and protein analysis showed an increase in MsrA expression in cytosol and mitochondria. Silencing of MsrA resulted in caspase 3 induction and accentuated cell death from H(2)O(2). Focal, strong immunoreactivity for MsrA was observed in sub-RPE macular drusen from patients with age-related macular degeneration. In summary, our data show that MsrA and hCBS-1 are up-regulated in oxidative stress to counteract injury to RPE.


alpha-Crystallin distribution in retinal pigment epithelium and effect of gene knockouts on sensitivity to oxidative stress.

  • Jennifer Yaung‎ et al.
  • Molecular vision‎
  • 2007‎

To investigate the susceptibility of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) from alphaA (-/-) and alphaB (-/-) mice to oxidative stress, and the subcellular changes of alphaA and alphaB-crystallins under oxidative stress.

    2. You can manually AND and OR terms to change how we search between words
    3. You can add "-" to terms to make sure no results return with that term in them (ex. Cerebellum -CA1)
    4. You can add "+" to terms to require they be in the data
    5. Using autocomplete specifies which branch of our semantics you with to search and can help refine your search
