Abstract/OtherAbstract:
To determine whether cones and Müller cells in the rod dominated retina cooperate to regenerate the 11-cis retinal chromophore via the retinoid cycle, two cell lines from the rod dominated retinas of Murine were used for this study: 661W, a mouse cell line derived from cones, and rMC-1, a rat Müller cell line. Retinoid cycle enzymes were analyzed by RT-PCR, and their catalytic activity was detected by incubation with retinoids and analyzed by HPLC. We found that 661W cells are capable of reducing all-trans retinal to all-trans retinol due to the presence of multiple dehydrogenases and to generate minor amounts of retinyl-ester. The rMC-1 cells take up all-trans retinol and oxidize it to all-trans retinal or esterify it to retinyl-ester, but are incapable of isomerizing all-trans retinoids to 11-cis retinoids. This could be a reflection of lack of necessary activities in Müller cells in vivo, which suggests that Müller cells do not contribute to retinoid cycling by regenerating 11-cis retinoids. Alternatively, this could be due to the potential that rMC-1, as a transformed cell line, has stopped expressing the proteins needed for the regeneration of 11-cis retinoids.
