The Amyloid Precursor Protein Plays Differential Roles in the UVA Resistance and Proliferation of Human Retinal Pigment Epithelial Cells.

Background: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) can be characterised by degeneration of retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells and the accumulation, in retinal drusen deposits, of amyloid beta-peptides proteolytically derived, by secretases, from the amyloid precursor protein (APP). Ultraviolet (UV) light exposure is a risk factor for the development of AMD.

Objectives: In the current study, we investigated whether APP and/or its proteolysis are linked to the UVA resistance or proliferation of ARPE-19 human RPE cells.
