A protective effect of taurine on morphological alterations induced in isolated ROS by remotion of divalent cations is described. ROS damage is not observed when sodium or chloride is replaced by impermeant ions or in the presence of nifedipine (10 microM). An increased accumulation of 22Na but not
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
