Abstract excerpt
We investigated the expression profile of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) in human retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells under different culture conditions and evaluated the molecular mechanism responsible for MCP-1 gene expression in RPE cells. After cellular confluence, total RNA was extracted and used for RT-PCR. Medium conditioned by RPE was used for ELISA and Western blotting. The result showed...
