Oxidant and antioxidant modulation of chloride channels expressed in human retinal pigment epithelium

Abstract: little is known about the molecular nature of chloride channels in human adult RPE (haRPE) or the effects of oxidative stress on membrane conductance properties. In the present study, we assessed ClC channel and cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) expression and membrane chloride conductance properties in haRPE cells. ClC-5, ClC-3, ClC-2, and CFTR mRNA expression was confirmed with RT-PCR analysis, and protein expression was detected with Western blot analysis and immunofluorescence micr… Show more

“…These currents exhibited very steep outward recti- fication, reversed near the Cl Ϫ equilibrium potential, were inhibited by removal of extracellular Cl Ϫ , and displayed slow time-dependent activation. These basic properties were strikingly similar to those of published ClC-4 (16) and ClC-5 (16,53) currents. Over the physiological pH range, changes in current amplitude and reversal potential in response to altered extracellular Cl Ϫ and H ϩ concentrations were consistent with ClC-3 acting as a proton-anion exchanger, similar to ClC-4 and -5 (39,44).…”

“…Inhibitory or stimulatory effects of ROS on anion channels have been evidenced [17,[24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31]. Here we shown tor in affecting cell vulnerability or tolerance to oxidative insults, and it has been implicated in immune modulation and inflammatory responses [36].…”

“…Of these cell layers, the RPE, nonpigmented ciliary epithelium, and choroid plexus contain high concentrations of mitochondria, consistent with a central role for oxidative phosphorylation in metabolism of these cells. There is also increasing evidence that the RPE cells are rich in ion channels (21)(22)(23)(24). Coma and brain edema have been detected in patients with ␤-oxidation defects, even during normoglycemia (25).…”
