Implications of NAD+ Metabolism in the Aging Retina and Retinal Degeneration

Figure 2

Inhibition of NAMPT activity decreases oxidative phosphorylation and increases glycolysis in human retinal pigment epithelial cells. Human retinal pigment epithelial cells were treated with 1 μM FK866 for 72 hours, and change in oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis was evaluated using the Seahorse extracellular flux (XF) analyzer. Results are expressed as for independent replicates. FCCP: carbonyl cyanide-4-phenylhydrazone; 2-DG: 2-deoxy-d-glucose.
