Figure 5. Inhibitors of protein kinase C
(PKC) isozymes other than PKC δ could not prevent ethambutol
(EMB)-induced vacuolar formation in retinal pigment epithelium (RPE).
RPE50 (A) and ARPE19 (B) cells were untreated (CON),
treated with 8 mM EMB, or EMB plus various PKC isozymes as indicated,
for 24 h. Pictures were taken under a phase contrast microscope with
200× magnification. This result is representative of three reproducible
experiments.
