In this context, redox imbalance takes place, resulting in oxidative damage to both lipids (70%, p less then 0.001) and proteins (140%, p less then 0.001). These results suggest that glaucoma damages not only eye structures but also brain visual targets such as the primary visual cortex. Redox imbalance takes place due to an enhancement in ROS and reactive nitrogen species production from different sources, such as NOX family and iNOS, respectively, in an onset where the antioxidant defenses are overwhelmed due to an impaired Nrf2 signaling, leading to oxidative damage to macromolecules. Degenerative ocular disorders like age-related macular degeneration (AMD) are associated with long-term pro-inflammatory signals on retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells. In this study, we investigated the effect of long term treatment of RPE cells with agonists of toll-like receptor (TLR) -3 (Polyinosinicpolycytidylic acid, Poly IC), TLR-4 (lipopolysaccharide, LPS) and the pro-inflammatory cytokine TNFα. All tests were conducted with primary porcine RPE. Cells were stimulated with Poly IC (1, 10, 100μg/ml), LPS (0.1, 1, 10μg/ml) or TNFα (12.5, 25 or 50ng/ml) for 1 day, 7 days or 4 weeks. Cell viability tests (MTT) were additionally tested in ARPE-19cells. Cytokine secretion (IL-6, IL-1β, IL-8, TNFα, TGF-β) was tested in ELISA, phagocytosis in a microscopic assay, and expression of RPE65 in Western blot. Barrier function was tested in transwell-cultured cells by measuring transepithelial resistance for up to 3 days. LPS and TNFα significantly reduce cell viability after 1 day and 7 days, Poly IC after mmatory cytokines and therefore may contribute directly to atrophic changes in AMD.Metabolic labeling, in which substrate analogs containing diminutive tags can infiltrate biosynthetic pathways and generate labeled products in cells, has led to dramatic advancements in the means by which c
