The reduction of XIAP is associated with inflammasome activation in RPE: implications for AMD pathogenesis
22 Aug 2019
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a multifactorial chronic disease of the eye. Several candidate pathways have been hypothesized to play a role in AMD pathogenesis. Our work and those of others suggests inflammasome activity as a mechanism associated with retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cell demise. X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP), an anti-apoptosis factor, has recently been...
