Modulation of Tmem135 Leads to Retinal Pigmented Epithelium Pathologies in Mice.

abstract：PURPOSE:To determine whether caspase or cathepsin pathways are activated in human retinal pigment epithelial cells (ARPE-19) after exposure to 7-ketocholesterol (7kCh). METHODS:ARPE-19 cells were exposed to 7kCh with or without z-VAD-fmk, a pan-caspase inhibitor. Caspase-3, -8, and -9 activities were measured by a flu...
