Pigment epithelium-derived factor secreted from retinal pigment ...
WebWe show that pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF), which is secreted from primary or iPSC-derived retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), dramatically inhibits the growth of iPSCs. PEDF is detected abundantly in culture supernatants of primary or iPSC-derived RPE. Apoptotic cell death is induced in iP … WebThe present invention aims to provide a method for preparing an RPE cell, and an RPE cell prepared by the method, and a reagent for producing an RPE cell which is suitable for the method. The method of the present invention includes the following step: a step of introducing, as exogeneous factors, MITF (Microphthalmia-Associated Transcription … grady white boat dealer near me
Differentiation of RPE cells from integration-free iPS cells and their …
WebAbstract The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is a polarized monolayer that secretes growth factors and cytokines towards the retina apically and the choroid basolaterally. Numerous RPE secreted proteins have been linked to the pathogenesis of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). WebThe iPS-RPE cells constitutively expressed B7-H1/CD274 and B7-DC/CD273, and suppressed the activation of T cells via the PD-1 receptor. iPS-RPE expressed these negative costimulatory molecules, especially when RPE cells were pretreated with recombinant IFN- . WebWe hypothesized that iPS-RPE secretes cytokines and growth factors which act in an autocrine manner to promote migration and proliferation of cells during wound healing. … grady white boat dealers near me
