Transcriptome-Wide Analysis of CXCR5 Deficient Retinal Pigment Epithelial (RPE) Cells Reveals Molecular Signatures of RPE Homeostasis
1 Jun 2020
Abstract excerpt
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the most common cause of irreversible blindness in the elderly population. In our previous studies, we found that deficiency of CXCR5 causes AMD-like pathological phenotypes in mice, characterized by abnormalities and dysfunction of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells. The abnormalities included abnormal cellular shape and impaired barrier function. In the present...
