- 在补充了pyruvate (PYR) 或尼古丁胺 (NAM) 的介质中培养ARPE-19细胞.
- 通过转染实验和微RNA分析评估RPE65调节.
主要成果:
- 与PYR补充的介质相比,NAM补充的介质中的RPE65mRNA和蛋白质水平显著更高.
- 转录调节,而不是翻译效应,被发现是RPE65表达的主要因素.
- 用棒外段 (ROS) 养细胞导致NAM培养细胞的RPE65表达减少,这表明RPE功能之间的复杂相互作用.

01:19Pigmentation
The color of the skin is influenced by a number of pigments, including melanin, carotene, and hemoglobin. Recall that melanin is produced by cells called melanocytes, which are found scattered throughout the stratum basale of the epidermis. The melanin is transferred to the keratinocytes via melanosomes.
Melanin occurs in two primary forms: eumelanin that provides black and brown pigment and pheomelanin that provides red color. Dark-skinned individuals produce more melanin than those with pale...

01:22Photoreceptors and Visual Pathways
At the molecular level, visual signals trigger transformations in photopigment molecules, resulting in changes in the photoreceptor cell's membrane potential. The photon's energy level is denoted by its wavelength, with each specific wavelength of visible light associated with a distinct color. The spectral range of visible light, classified as electromagnetic radiation, spans from 380 to 720 nm. Electromagnetic radiation wavelengths exceeding 720 nm fall under the infrared category, whereas...
