Photo-Oxidative Blue-Light Stimulation in Retinal Pigment Epithelium Cells Promotes Exosome Secretion and Increases the Activity of the NLRP3 Inflammasome
Abstract
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a major cause of blindness in the elderly, and the activation of the NACHT, LRR, and PYD domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is involved in AMD pathogenesis. We investigated whether photooxidative blue-light stimulation in retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells promotes exosome secretion and modulates the activity of the NLRP3 inflammasome in vitro.Exosomes were isolated from ARPE-19...
