PU-91 drug rescues human age-related macular degeneration RPE cells; implications for AMD therapeutics

class="figure-viewer-img"

Figure 9. Effect of PU-91 + EI-78 on gene expression. qRT-PCR analysis showed differential expression of PGC-1α (A), Caspase-3 (B), IL-18 (C), VEGF (D), and SOD2 (E) genes in AMD RPE cells at the 72 h time point. Data (n=3) are presented as mean ± SEM and normalized to untreated (UN) AMD cybrids which were assigned a value of 1. Mann-Whitney test was used to measure statistical differences; *p≤0.05. P = PU-91; EI = Esterase Inhibitor.
