Prolactin protects retinal pigment epithelium by inhibiting sirtuin 2-dependent cell death

Prolactin protects retinal pigment epithelium by inhibiting sirtuin 2-dependent cell death

The identification of pathways necessary for retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) function is fundamental to uncover therapies for blindness. Prolactin (PRL) receptors are expressed in the retina, but nothing is known about the role of PRL in RPE. Using the adult RPE 19 (ARPE-19) human cell line and mou...
