Implication
Standard operation protocols improve oxidative stress and inflammation research in porcine RPE, indicating optimized methods for AMD models.
Key Points
- Establishing protocols for single-eye porcine RPE enhances understanding of oxidative stress and inflammation.
- Effective LD50 was achieved after 24 hours of 25 µm erastin treatment, providing clear benchmarks for RPE-Ox.
- Three days of LPS stimulation (1 µg/mL) in RPE-Inf successfully activated cytokine secretion in optimized culture conditions.
- Transwell plates are recommended for cell barrier assays but not for effective cytokine secretion measurement.
