PURPOSE: We have shown previously that non-enzymatic nitration (NEN) of the
extracellular matrix (ECM), which serves as a model of Bruch's membrane (BM)
aging, has a profound effect on the behavior of the overlying retinal pigment
epithelial (RPE) cells, including altered phagocytic ability, reduced cell
adhesion, and inhibition of proliferation. We know that transplanted RPE
monolayers will encounter a hostile sub-RPE environment, including age-related
alterations in BM that may compromise cell function and survival. Here we use our
previous NEN model of BM aging to determine the effects of NEN of the ECM on
growth factor release and complement activation in RPE cells. METHODS: Human
induced-pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) were differentiated into RPE cells, and
confirmed by immunohistochemistry, confocal microscopy, and polymerase chain
reaction. IPSC-derived RPE cells were plated onto RPE-derived ECM under untreated
or nitrite-modified conditions. Cells were cultured for 7 days and barrier
function measured by transepithelial resistance (TER). Vascular endothelial
growth factor (VEGF), pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF), and complement
component C3a were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
RESULTS: On average nitrite-modified ECM increased VEGF release both apically and
basally by 0.15 ± 0.014 ng/mL (p <0.0001) and 0.21 ± 0.022 ng/mL (p <0.0001),
respectively, in iPSC-derived RPE cells. Nitrite-modified ECM increased PEDF
release in iPSC-derived RPE cells apically by 0.16 ± 0.031 ng/mL (p <0.0001), but
not basally (0.27 ± 0.015 vs. 0.32 ± 0.029 ng/mL, (p >0.05)). Nitrite-modified
ECM increased production of C3a in iPSC-derived RPE cells by 0.52 ± 0.123 ng/mL
(p <0.05). CONCLUSION: Nitrite-modified ECM increased VEGF, PEDF release, and C3a
production in human iPSC-derived RPE cells. This model demonstrates changes seen
in the basement membrane can lead to alterations in the cell biology of the RPE
cells that may be related to the development of age-related macular degeneration.
