## Abstract Platelet derived growth factors (PDGF) are known to be associated with vitreoretinal disorders such as proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR). We have studied the expression of PDGF and their receptors in human retinal pigment epithelial cells (HRPE) and choroid fibroblasts (HCHF), and t

## Abstract Retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and transforming growth factor‐β (TGF‐β) have been shown to be involved in various retinal diseases. We have studied the role of inflammatory cytokines on the expression and secretion of TGF‐β in human RPE cells (HRPE). Confluent cultures of HRPE derived
## Abstract Cultured human retinal pigment epithelial cells (RPE) secrete insulin‐like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs), a family of polypeptides which modulate the actions of the insulin‐like growth factors. RPE cells secrete two IGFBPs with Mr estimates of 34,000 and 46,000, respectively.
