Tonabersat Inhibits Connexin43 Hemichannel Opening and Inflammasome Activation in an In Vitro Retinal Epithelial Cell Model of Diabetic Retinopathy
This study was undertaken to evaluate the connexin hemichannel blocker tonabersat for the inhibition of inflammasome activation and use as a potential treatment for diabetic retinopathy. Human retinal pigment epithelial cells (ARPE-19) were stimulated with hyperglycemia and the inflammatory cytokine...
