Caspase-14 Expression Impairs Retinal Pigment Epithelium Barrier Function: Potential Role in Diabetic Macular Edema

Figure 5

Effect of caspase-14 expression on ARPE-19 cell phagocytic activity. Assessment of phagocytic activity of the RPE cells was performed using a commercially available phagocytic assay kit. We observed no significant differences between the phagocytic activity of RPE cells expressing caspase-14 and the control ( ).
