- W2107984068 abstract "This study was undertaken to determine whether there are age-related changes in the specific activities of several glycosidases in fresh retinal pigment epithelial cells (RPE) isolated from the posterior pole of human donor eyes. One hundred and twenty-one pairs of eyes from human donors, between the ages of 43 and 95 years, were obtained from the National Disease Research Interchange (NDRI, Philadelphia, PA) and the Cleveland Ohio Eye Bank within 18 to 24 h of death. None had histories of diabetes, hepatitis, HIV infection, intraocular surgery, or documented age-related macular degeneration, although several older donors with evidence of drusen were included in the study. RPE cells were isolated from the posterior third of the retina using the conventional rush method and homogenized with a glass, Broeck tissue grinder. All post-nuclear supernatants were analyzed for glycosidase activity; a smaller number of nuclear pellets were assayed to verify that the majority of the enzyme activity was associated with the post-nuclear sypernatants. Glycosidase activity was quantitated fluorometrically by measuring the enzymatic release of umbelliferone from synthetic substrate preparations, specific for each enzyme. Total protein was determined by a micro BCA protein assay. Regression analysis revealed statistically significant age-related decreases for the specific activities of alpha-mannosidase (p = 0.0001), beta-galactosidase (p = 0.0001), N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase (p = 0.0001), and N-acetyl beta galactosaminidase (p = 0.0001) in fresh human donor RPE cells taken from the region of the posterior third of the retina that included the macula. Mannose and N-acetyl-glucosamine are major carbohydrate monomers of the oligosaccaride chains of human rhodopsin, and a relatively high percentage of the oligosaccharide chains are galactosylated. Defects in their degradation may lead to the accumulation of undigested residual material in the RPE." @default.
