Retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells in culture display selective induction of certain early response transcription factors at the onset of photoreceptor rod outer segment (ROS)-specific phagocytosis (Ershov et al., 1996a). Moreover, this response is modulated by prostaglandins. The purpose of thi
## Abstract Pigment epitheliumβderived factor (PEDF), a glycoprotein with pleiotropic functions, is naturally occuring in the eye and considered as crucial to prevent pathological angiogenesis. Since retinal glial (MΓΌller) cells produce PEDF, the authors have studied its impact on glialβendothelial
Antibodies specific for heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) were produced in rabbits, using the multiple antigen peptide (MAP) technique, and were employed to investigate the ability of transforming growth factor-pl (TGF-P1) to induce the HO-1 protein in cultured human retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells. We
