In this study the activities of two lysosomal enzymes in retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells isolated from three regions of the human fundus were examined: the macula, the nasal midzone, and the periphery. The results obtained showed that the activities of acid phosphatase and cathepsin D were significantly higher in the RPE cells derived from the macular region when compared with those in the periphery. The values for the midzone appeared to be intermediate between the other two regions. Furthermore, the overall activity of both enzymes increased as a function of age.
在本研究中,检测了从人眼底三个区域分离的视网膜色素上皮(RPE)细胞中两种溶酶体酶的活性:黄斑区、鼻中区和周边区。所得结果表明,与周边区的RPE细胞相比,来自黄斑区的RPE细胞中酸性磷酸酶和组织蛋白酶D的活性显著更高。中区的值似乎介于其他两个区域之间。此外,两种酶的总体活性均随年龄增长而增加。
