Distinct metabolome and flux responses in the retinal pigment epithelium to cytokines associated with age-related macular degeneration: comparison of ARPE-19 cells and eyecups

Abstract Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is associated with chronic inflammation of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and elevated cytokines including TNFα, TGF-β, IL-6, and IL-1β. As a metabolic intermediary supporting aerobic glycolysis in the adjacent photoreceptors, the RPE’s metabolic...
